One of my favorite CT scans I helped make for #oVertTCN: a 5-day-old loggerhead shrike ate a tiny lizard! 🪶🧪🦎

How can we tell it's a lizard? Tail vertebrae in reptiles have chevrons for muscle attachment. Mammal tail bones don't have those.

In celebration of USA's National Fossil Day, I’m excited to share Catriona’s shelduck from New Zealand! This is the eighth and largest duck species from the St Bathans fossil fauna which lived during the Miocene (19-16 Ma). Follow the link if you want to learn more!
