Today's bombshell in @nature.com by Lindsay Zanno & James Napoli @jgn-paleo.bsky.social (bit.ly/4qBE6ng) shows that putative juvvy T. rex fossils actually are Nanotyrannus. I reviewed the manuscript, so Nature invited me to write the News & Views commentary. Free link: rdcu.be/eNv94 🦖

This digitally painted piece honors coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our cities and the wilderness today.
The thread gives descriptions of all the extinct organisms shown in this piece (not to scale)

Happy #FossilFriday! While you may have seen this cast of Tylosaurus elsewhere, this specific one is special: it is the *first* cast of the fossil that was made. Currently on display in the lobby of the History Museum at the Castle.
Exciting things coming to the Castle soon - stay tuned!

I missed #MosasaurMonday but holy moly, Winnie is prepped!
Here's the main part of the skull, without the palate laid out. She came out great and im so happy she's covered in pathologies. Just like me, we both have interesting skeletal injuries. Lower Niobrara, 86.5 million years old 🧪

Thrilled to share that starting in late August, I'll be Natural History Museum Specialist for the History Museum at the Castle in Appleton, WI! I'll be overseeing the exhibition and programming of the nat. his. collection, which is being moved from the old Weis Earth Science Museum.
