Day two of #svp2025 !!
I am thrilled to have began the day with a talk by Luke Muscutt on the locomotion of plesiosaurs.
It was especially interesting seeing the phase differences between flippers and how it affects thrust with the adorable Flip the robot, demonstrating!

Witnessed a great talk by Dr Aurore Canoville on preliminary research on sex determination in non avian dinosaurs through using the medullary bone!
I’m happy to say I’ve learnt tonnes from it, especially interesting the use of a synchrotron (a particle accelerator!!) within the research!

I’m here at #SVP2025 held by @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social in Brum, today and I am so glad to be able to attend a talk by @jgn-paleo.bsky.social on the the duelling dinosaurs and Nanotyrannus. It is so great to see Nanotyrannus resurrected!
You can bet I’ll be posting about more of these talks!

Some highlights from our first session of Fossil Prep Methods camps last month! Among other projects, students had a chance to work on a mostly complete Pachyrhizodus fish fossil! Yours of the Sternberg Museum’s collections as well as lessons on molding and casting were also included.

ROCK OF THE DAY /🧵
Haematite
One rock commonly used as iron ore, Haematite. Fe2O3 aka classic iron oxide.
This used to be part 2 of an iron ore series but I can’t find the other part, so oh well.
