Is cranial anatomy indicative of fossoriality? A case study of Hadrocodium wui suggests this Jurassic mammaliaform may have been semi-fossorial, resembling semi-aquatic moles more than fully fossorial ones. Skull ≠ digging.

Tahlia Pollock @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social has an amazing new study integrating 3D shape, biomechanics, and optimality modelling, helps explain why so many mammals evolve sabre teeth: functional optimality was a key driver behind the repeated evolution of extreme sabre-tooth morphologies.
