Happy #FossilFriday

A few weeks ago we opened the first exhibit I helped design based on my work on bone histology and taphonomy of a #dicynodont bonebed from Tanzania!

If you are passing by the #FieldMuseum, go check out the #GraingerScienceHub

Huge thanks to @markwitton.bsky.social for 🎨🖼️

Why do bone histologists use the middle of bones when examining growth patterns? Because mid-shaft record the longest history of growth, seen in this tiny femur where the joint ends are made of spongy bone and only the middle shows growth marks.

Happy #ThinSectionThursday

Here is a side by side comparison of virtual histology from synchrotron tomography on the left and “traditional” histology from optical microscopy on the right. It’s sometimes hard to tell what’s a growth mark in virtual histology but with this, we can can train our 👀

A late night #ThinSectionThursday

Resisting that “we’ll pick it up in the new year” mentality with cool collaborations that have data that looks this good

Paleobluesky has risen!
So happy to be here and share a sneak peak of some micro-CT scans. Check out the 3D histology of some truly tiny Mesozoic mammal fossils 🤩 🐭🐹🐿️

I’m new to this online paleo community and am looking forward to getting connected. If you’re going to #2024SVP next week, stop by my talk on Wed. at 8am in the mammalian life history evolution symposium for a deep dive into 3D bone histology from some of the earliest non-mammalian synapsids!
