This is the third paper from my thesis 👏. This time focusing on paleobiogeographical interpretations with 6 unique species.

Fossil wood is a treasure trove of information waiting to be unearthed 🌳.

Many thanks to @annbot.bsky.social for this thread

Amazing workshop last week in Arles, focused on how integrating geological and paleoclimatological constraints in phylogenetic and biogeographic reconstructions! 11 countries, 55 people, and 3 days of talks and brainstorming with a balanced group of biologists, geologists and climatologists.

The annual #Orchid exhibition at the Grandes Serres of the @mnhn.fr. Always delightful 😊

This is my PhD trophy (a tradition in our team) and I LOVE it! I've indeed worked partly on Dipterocarpaceae... which explains the fruit.

Not a fossil for #fossilfriday but another #watercolor illustration from the Middle Miocene of Myanmar done by my mother. You can see Dipterocarps in full bloom, a Dipterocarpus and an Artocapus. #paleoart

For #FossilFriday here is a mandala of some raw fragments of fossil wood. You have Fabaceae, Moraceae and Dipterocarpaceae here.

Congratulations to T. Durieux who just got his second lead author paper from his PhD project accepted. The paper describes a new species of woody tree that was growing about 360 million years ago in what is now Ireland 🌲⛏️ doi.org/10.1016/j.re...

What is the best collaboration I had ? My mother, who made this watercolor landscape illustration of the Paleocene of Myanmar for one of my thesis chapters 🥳

Perfectly ripe persimmon (kaki, in french) showing the vascularisation. I found it fascinating... and delicious !

New medium, new introduction to my work. Here is the first paper I published from my thesis.

"Fossil wood from the lower Miocene of Maynmar" in full open access ✅️⤵️

We describe 30 specimens of Dipterocarpaceae, Fabaceae, Moraceae and Burseraceae

Jurassique en voie d’illumination au jardin des plantes. Beaucoup de scientifiques du CR2P ont participé à cette exposition, dont les paléobotanistes!

The #Ginkgo at the #JardinDesPlantes in Paris are gorgeous this year too. Their bright golden leaves really stand out.

Hi everyone! For my first post here, I'd like to share this beautiful Williamsonia from the "Jurassique en voie d'Illumination" exhibition at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris! 🗼

I also called on the Herbonautes community to computerize the #Dipterocarpaceae labels of the Paris #herbarium #mnhn. This is indeed a powerful and exciting initiative.

For #FossilFriday, a picture of @nicolasgentis.bsky.social surrounded by pictures of fossil wood material from his PhD thesis (a huge xylotheque on paper, from the fossil forests of Myanmar)

I can finally say I experienced one of the computer crashes that MUST happen right before submitting the thesis manuscript. The pdf is corrupted AND the original file has disappeared. 😬😱

Hi, I'm new to the BluePlace. Let's talk about paleobotany and fossil wood !
