I am very excited to see what we can accomplish as we continue our work—Merycoidodon is just one of four species we’re working on. But I’m even more excited for the future of paleo: it’s encouraging knowing three bright stars are about to join our field!

Our project is focused on using daily growth lines in the teeth of fossil mammals to better understand their life histories. Our poster featured the first thin-section we made, of Merycoidodon, a common, small, sheep/camel-like species of “Oreodont” from the Oligocene.

Very proud of my undergraduate students who presented our work at the NorCal GeoBio Symposium this past weekend! It’s been a real pleasure working with this all-star team! From right to left: Xinyu Wang, @versingh.bsky.social and Garrett Zebley.
