Geologist & geochemist @nhm-london.bsky.social. 🇳🇱 Dr. in 🇧🇪-🇬🇧, dad of Jonas & Floris. Fascinated by meteorites ☄️, dinosaurs 🦖🤠, lasers & X-rays 🔬👨🔬.
Amazing work by @tweetisaurus.bsky.social and her team on Late Cretaceous ceratopsians from Europe, check it out in @nature.com! Glad and privileged to be part of her research group here @nhm-london.bsky.social 😊.
Out in @nature.com today, we shake up the ornithischian family tree. Remember those weird Late Cretaceous iguanodontians, the rhabdodontids? Well they're weird because they aren't iguanodontians. They're ceratopsians. Well, at least some of them are... www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A hidden diversity of ceratopsian dinosaurs in Late Cretaceous Europe - Nature
New results indicate that rhabdodontids and the previously described Ajkaceratops are actually distinctive European ceratopsians, a group better known from Asia and North America.

For those with enough energy left after a full #2025SVP meeting 😁: come check out my talk today at 16h00 in Hall 4! I will show a new geochemical method in studying #bonebeds, i.e. blasting #dinosaurs in Brussels 🦖🦕🔬. @amgc-vub.bsky.social @anneschulp.bsky.social @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social

🚨 New job! Last week was my first week as a Marie Curie Postdoc @nhm-london.bsky.social 🇬🇧. Thanks to @tweetisaurus.bsky.social for the terrific start! I’m now diving into my #MSCA 'MORBID' project, where I’ll be using cutting-edge #geochemistry to explore how Mesozoic bonebeds formed, more soon 🦕😀!

🦕 Did you know that #dinosaurs were ecosystem engineers? When they were wiped out from Earth's surface by the #Chicxulub impact, the river landscapes of North America dramatically changed as well! Happy to see this paper out in which I played a small part, brilliantly led by Luke Weaver @umich.edu 👇
🦖Dinosaurs promoted open habitats in the Late Cretaceous, and their extinction could have led to a radical reorganization of the landscape and ecosystem structure at the beginning of the Paleogene.
