Here's a weird new article for #MolluscMonday.
We've found the type specimens of some species and subspecies from Switzerland described in the mid-19th century by a Belgian landscape painter.

New article! 🎉

It has everything known about the magician treesnail 🧙🐌 - a species long under the radar.
A highlight is the use of CT scans to observe internal anatomy.

Happy #FossilFriday! The coolest paleontologist of all time has finally been released globally in Fate/Grand Order.

I wrote about her before she was announced in the game - jgeekstudies.org/2021/02/11/m... - so the article might need updates.😅

Here's a new paper for #fossilFriday. 🥳

We studied freshwater snails across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in China and found out they weren't much affected by the end-Cretaceous mass extinction. 😮
