Bappada boppity, ya boy's on Bluesky! BSc Palaeobiology student at the University of New England. Finally on Twitter Jr. Posting research updates, cool rocks I find (fossils optional), and probably basketball rants if the Pacers annoy me enough.
None of the Arundel Fm sauropod postcrania can be referred to the same taxon as the A. johnstoni holotype

evidence that the terrestrial vertebrate fauna of Cretaceous polar Australia was remarkably stable for at least a 10-million-year stretch during the Aptian and Albian stages. (3/3)

paired pubes NMV P186046), this is the first record of non-megaraptoran Tyrannosauroidea from the Strzelecki Group! Along with the presence of megaraptorids, carcharodontosaurs, noasaurids, unenlagiines, and at least two distinct morphotypes of elasmarian ornithopod, it provides further (2/3)

from the Strzelecki, and most excitingly, two different carcharodontosaurians, one each from the Strzelecki Group and the slightly younger Eumeralla Formation. The carch and the unenlagiine are the most exciting, as these are the first definitive records of these clades anywhere in Australia! (3/3)

This is a really important paper since it describes *four* new "taxa" from Australia's Lower Cretaceous sedimentary units (although in classic Australian form, none are complete enough to be named). There's a large-bodied megaraptorid from the Strzelecki Group, an unenlagiine dromaeosaur, also (2/3)
