Duck-billed dinosaurs are often found with gruesome, shattered, deformed tails.
Did the injuries happen during mating?
Maybe! A provocative new study from @fbertpaleo.bsky.social & team. My thoughts for @cnn.com

Our controversial paper is finally out in @cp-iscience.bsky.social !
As part of my PhD dissertation at @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social in 2021, the last chapter was dedicated to a specific pathological pattern in hadrosaurid tails!

Guys, gimme time to come back home and I’ll make a series of explanatory post for our NEW DINOSAUR 😍😍

Nice animal! Very happy to see new iguanodontian species being unveiled! Congrats to Jeremy and all the authors!
For #FossilFriday a new iguanodontian Istiorachis macarthurae from the #IsleofWight published in Papers in Palaeontology today. Many thanks to coauthors @tweetisaurus.bsky.social and Dave Martill. The final paper from my PhD!

Here we looked a little into Latitudinal Biodiversity Gradient of mammals, across the fossil record!
New day, new paper! 🦣🌍 Led by @mapaslab.bsky.social ab.bsky.social PhD student Sofía Galván and out now in Global Ecology and Biogeography in which we asked:
"Could future palaeontologists detect today’s biodiversity patterns from fossils alone?"

Here a very nice contribution I took part in, shedding light on the early eavolution of stem-mammals!

Evidence of large-sized ankylopollexian dinosaurs (Ornithischia: Iguanodontia) in the Upper Jurassic of Portugal
The Upper Jurassic beds of the Lusitanian Basin in central Portugal yield diverse dinosaurian fauna, dated to the Kimmeridgian–Tithonian interval. Saurischian dinosaurs are, overall, more abundant ...
