Is horizontal huge-ass fossil turtle acceptable? 🥺

Stormy evenings call for dinosaur mood lighting.

Looking at Dippy from another angle today.

Tuesdays are cleaning days in the exhibits, and a chance to check on all of the fossils on display 🦕

It’s a cold day to deliver fossils for CT scanning 🥶

Dippy staying stylish through Pittsburgh’s winter weather 😎

‘Tis the season for sparkly dinosaurs in the paleo collection ✨🦖

That awkward moment when you run into a coworker at the airport 🫣

Happy Museum Monday! I never get tired of checking the exhibits first thing in the morning, it’s important to tell your fossils that they’re doing a good job. 🧪

Seems like a good time for a 🦋 introduction!

I’m a paleontologist interested in the evolution/diversification of birds and in color evolution in dinosaurs! I’m the collection manager of vertebrate paleo at Carnegie MNH. I mostly post about cool fossils, museums, and my research. 🦖🦆🌈

Saw The Boy and the Heron last night and WOW. Truly a gorgeous film, definitely one of my favorites from Ghibli. Of course I wasn’t at all influenced by how many characters are birds… 🦜

Happy Halloween from your local paleo lab ghosts! 👻🦖

All aboard the penguin plane!

Always love a good nature inspired airport floor! Thanks Miami International.
