Spent yesterday checking on access to various sites in the Cretaceous-Paleocene North Horn Formation, including a new site with adult and juvenile ceratopsian material we’ll be opening next month. Paleo can be challenging at 8000-10,000’!

And of course there are turtles. 🐢🥰

I’m just a #Cretaceous guy with a cool #mammoth in collections… #FossilFriday #coldplay

That track was something else to collect… But the view was phenomenal!

These folks at the bottom of the cover. They never reached out to me about any info on the museum or anything else for the book, so I guess they just took the Utahraptor stuff and ran with it. That’s showbiz I guess!

Speaking of, pretty bummed to see ZERO mention of the museum excavating and taking care of these fossils in the new #WalkingWithDinosaurs book. Plenty about @paleojim.bsky.social’s “megablock” though.

Now that #WalkingWithDinosaurs is out in the UK, let’s not forget about the real stars of the show: the actual FOSSILS in MUSEUMS! While critics wax poetic about the CGI and us “talking heads,” the real Gastonia & Utahraptor need your support more now than ever before.

Thinking about ankylosaur cervical spines (neck armor) today in the @denvermuseumns.bsky.social collections. How many morphs are there? What bones are homologous? Can I just have ONE articulated animal?!?

Bob Graves found two in Platyceramus during our UFOP field trip on Labor Day. These are from just outside of Green River, UT

You all should follow @prehistoricmuseum.bsky.social for paleontology content from the best place on the planet for fossils!

To start off this social experiment, here are a few photos from the Prehistoric Museum ankylosaur dig back in October. #dinosaur #PrehistoricUtah
