Thanks buddy! :) You've been a great friend and colleague.
I haven't really had a "mentor", but colleagues/friends?

Lee and Ashley Hall (@paleeoguy.bsky.social and @ladynaturalist.bsky.social).

Their whole story needs to be a book series, a non-cancelable Netflix romantic show with at least 2 seasons, and added to the dictionary under "Wholesome".

Photos via CMNH (fossil) and Witmer & Ridgley, 2010 (CT model) of a juvenile #Tyrannosaurus rex collected in 1942 from Carter Co., MT. Scan data reveal extent of reconstruction. IMO no publications yet show data sufficient to support the genus "Nanotyrannus". Especially damning: Woodward et al 2020.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and as I do every year I am sharing my favorite turkey day video: the @williamshatner.bsky.social deep fried turkey safety song. Eat, fry, love. Complete with early 2000's auto tune, and the #dingledangle. Be safe and be happy!
