Danny Anduza 🦴🦖🦕 is headed to #SVP2025 ✈ @paleontologizing.bsky.social · Nov 21
Hiya, #Bluesky! For my 600+ new followers, let me introduce myself...

I'm Danny Anduza — dinosaur worker, field paleontologist, and full-time science communicator. I'll be posting all kinds of fossil-related content, from field photos to livestream clips to 3D prints. It's so great to be here!
Me riding in a helicopter, doing some high-altitude prospecting in the Hell Creek Formation of Montana, July 2015 Explaining the forelimb morphology of a Tyrannosaurus skeleton to visitors at the University of California Museum of Paleontology, 2019 Plaster jacketing a hadrosaur skull with Ethan Cowgill and Quin Hawkins in the Late Cretaceous Almond Formation of Wyoming, June 2023. Livestream camera in foreground (I was livestreaming the whole month!) Me in front of the North Dakota Paleocene badlands on the way to the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Meeting, October 2024

Scarcely have I arrived at the airport that I ran into two other paleontologists on their way to #SVP2025

At the risk of sounding goofy, this almost feels like a religious pilgrimmage. I'm stoked

Happy #FossilFriday! Here's an *enormous* ichthyosaur skull from the Triassic of Nevada, USA. This one might be a new species?

I was lucky enough to see this at an awesome temporary ichthyosaur exhibit at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno a couple months ago. Highly recommended
Photo of a HUGE ichthyosaur skull. It's sitting on some sand on the floor, with a particleboard barrier behind it — simple and low-cost display infrastructure, but it really works well in this exhibit

I would have gotten it in like four fewer guesses, but Metazooa was ❌WRONG❌ about our animal being in a certain subfamily when it actually isn't 🤷🏽‍♂️

It's our LAST STREAM for two weeks, since I'm departing for the UK and #SVP2025 tomorrow! Tune in now for #Paleontology Q&A, a discussion of why scientific conferences are important, and then our usual Thursday BIRDSday festivities

Despite incomplete knowledge, the fossil record is amazing. It's a disturbingly easy thought experiment to imagine living in a world where there's no such thing and we would never know about the existence of trilobites or ichthyosaurs. We're so lucky

the rock record giveth, and the rock record taketh away, but fossils remain the only source of direct physical evidence for ancient extinct species in the history of life

Once again I am taking my special traditional role in a malacological conference of being the person who asks bewildered students if they're aware that molluscs have a fossil record 😂

Hopefully we won't have *too* many feline eclipses on today's #Twitch stream, especially since we'll be interviewing @fbertpaleo.bsky.social about his new hadrosaur mating evidence paper.

Join us @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing for live Q&A, paleontological discussion and science camaraderie

It's a Paleontologizing #Halloween special today! We'll be applying a paleontological perspective to the 'Loch Ness Monster' legend — and talking about a *real life* aquatic monster reptile which plies the Earth's oceans even now 👀

Join us @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing for paleo chat & camaraderie

and we're interviewing @doublebeam.bsky.social, sauropod & pachycephalosaur expert — and also an old friend of mine — about his fieldwork adventures!

#TwitchCon 2025 last week was a blast — hanging out with other scientist streamers, talking with Twitch staff, and meeting Paleontologizing viewers for the first time — and I'm just now getting a chance to sit down and post some photos. Let me show you what I got up to 👀

HOLY COW, this is awesome! It was wonderful meeting @tehnessa.bsky.social at TwitchCon, and I'm so impressed with this wonderful piece she's painted

Check out her animal coloring book art on her profile, too — super cool!

First stream back after quite a break and I am so happy to be back!

Tonight's painting is @paleontologizing.bsky.social 's velociraptor! I was lucky enough to meet Paleontologizing at TwitchCon, and what he does for science outreach and communication is amazing - definitely check him out on Twitch!
