Published yesterday in @journalofanatomy.bsky.social with open access, we demonstrate how tiny slices of isolated bones (in this case, troodontid metatarsals) can provide a wealth of information on the growth, lifestyle, and injuries of these animals. (🧵) (Troodontid art by Henry Sharpe )

Glad to see our latest work on hadrosaur teeth is out today!

Gill Gallimore, David Evans, and I did a deep dive into whether hadrosaur teeth are as useful as they seem in phylogenetics. A thread [1/14]

Individual, ontogenetic, and phylogenetic variation in the dentition of hadrosaurids (Iguanodontia: Ornithischia)
Phylogenetic analyses of Hadrosauroidea are generally well-resolved, but finer resolution within Hadrosauromorpha remains contentious. This lack of resolution is due in part to the inability of dis...

Finally set up a Blue Sky account in time for #FossilFriday! Hey all, I'm wrapping up my MSc on centrosaurines while searching for a PhD or museum position (visa life). In the meantime, enjoy this pretty Centrosaurus skull from our collections, the articulated neck is stuck right under the frill.
