Just arrived in Birmingham for #2025SVP! Looking forward to seeing everyone.
Ever wondered about the evolution of filter feeding in Antarctic seals?
If so, come along to my talk on Wednesday at 4pm in Hall 1.

🚨Another new paper alert!! 🚨
We present the first histological analysis of an ornithocheirid pterosaur tooth from Brazil’s Crato Formation, revealing exceptionally rapid tooth growth and thin enamel adapted for efficient replacement.

Back to the skies of the Kem Kem, we find one of the many toothed pterosaurs of the region, Siroccopteryx! This critter has somewhat modestly sized teeth compared to it's cousins, and I've illustrated it here with a speculative crest.

Pterosauria tree (vintage edition) ~ 🦅🌳

Alongside my ‘black edition’, I have also tested how my pterosaur illustration would look with a ‘vintage’ natural history illustration background’

What do you guys think? Which version do you prefer? The black or vintage background?
