The first Serbian dinosaur fossils have been discovered! Delighted to have been invited by Serbian colleagues to contribute to this paper (available in early view) describing Late Cretaceous sauropod and theropod fossils www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
First dinosaur remains from Serbia: Sauropod and theropod material from the uppermost Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) of Osmakovo
Diverse and abundant continental vertebrate assemblages are known from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian–Maastrichtian) of several European countries. T…

It's out! We describe probable reptile tracks from the earliest Carboniferous of Australia. This pushes the amniote record back by some 35-40 million years and implies that the tetrapod crown group originated deep in the Late Devonian. The paper is Open Access. 🧪

Earliest amniote tracks recalibrate the timeline of tetrapod evolution - Nature
Analysis of a fossil trackway from the earliest Carboniferous of Australia shows prints of toes with claws, suggesting that the origin of amniotes was at least 35–40 million years earlier than pr...

We couldn’t end #WomensHistoryMonth without shining light on one of history’s most prominent palaeontologists, Mary Anning!
Let’s take a look at her incredible life and the discoveries she made, including some of the specimens you can see today in the Museum! 🔍 🦴

Two summers ago, I went to Craters of the Moon as part of my geology field camp. I stumbled across this photo and forgot how much I loved the birds!

If you’ll be at SICB in January, come see my talk titled “Hidden trophic diversity in early ray-finned fishes: evidence from the Carboniferous Sphaerolepis” on Sunday, Jan 4th, in the Morphology and Mechanics session.
Come chat to talk fish, paleontology, or science in general!
