New filter-feeding pterosaur dropped and it was found in dinosaur vomit!
The name Bakiribu waridza derives from Kariri words: bakiribú (“comb”) and waridzá (“mouth”), referring to the animal’s comb-like dentition. The name also honors the Indigenous peoples native to the Araripe region, Brazil.

Forgot to announce I have a new paper out this week! Animals that are more front-heavy have thicker, differently shaped forelimb bones to deal with the extra load. Limb bones alone may thus be useful proxies for body shape - but posture complicates things. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

steller’s sea cow (Hydrodamalis giganteus)
I recently read Beasts of the Sea by Iida Turpeinen that recounts in dramatic fashion the voyage of Steller, the discovery, subsequent extinction, and the discovery of the skeleton of one and how it ended up In Helsinki. A wonderful book you should read.

#fossilfriday Brontothere skulls from the Eocene of the White River Badlands on display at the @alfpaleo.bsky.social museum in Claremont, CA. One of these (suspect it's the middle one) was collected by a teenage Malcolm McKenna before his career in vert paleo took off!

Qilin tungurensis (formally Palaeotragus tungurensis) have a new genus name now!
Mainly based on the holotype and paratype AMNH 26582/26583, the part of horn core based on the refered IVPP V33851.
