A shake-up of the dinosaur family tree! Rhabdodontids are not ornithopods. They are ceratopsians.

There were horned dinosaurs in Europe! As shown by a new fossil of Ajkaceratops from Hungary!

Check out our new study, led by @tweetisaurus.bsky.social ⤵️

Relatives of Triceratops have never been found in Europe – until now.

New research reveals that many rhabdodontid dinosaurs might actually be ceratopsians after all - rewriting what we know about Cretaceous Europe!

Soon after we lost my PhD advisor Mark Norell, it was special to be surrounded by the students and postdocs I’ve supervised!

Growing up in America, I never had a chance to get a Blue Peter badge as a kid...

But I have one now!

Ticked one off the bucket list as Abby & the crew filmed with our Univ of Edinburgh palaeo PhD, Masters & undergrad students. In the lab and in the field on Skye!

And the students did brilliant!

Fun evening at @pintofscience.uk, talking dinosaurs over a cold Guinness and showcasing the work of our awesome Edinburgh students!

First @adammpalaeo.bsky.social wowed the crowd with his keynote on dinosaur brains, and then our student panel captivated everyone with a discussion on their research.

Thanks for having me BBC Breakfast, to talk dinosaurs and gush about the new Walking With Dinosaurs series!

I watched the original landmark series as a teenager in America. It inspired me to study dinosaurs. To work as a consultant on the new one has been a huge joy and honor!

The Trump regime has put a 10% tariff on the Heard Island and McDonald which is inhabited only by Penguins. The majestic Penguin has become the first nonhuman in history to enter a trade war with the United States.

Delighted to announce that I will be presenting at SAPS 2025 in Edinburgh from 29th-30th this month, unravelling the mysteries of avian evolution and revealing the latest research on the dinosaur’s conquest to dominate the skies!

Let me introduce you to Ahvaytum bahndooiveche, a new #dinosaur described yesterday that represents the oldest Laurasian dinosaur known so far!

I was lucky enough to be commissioned to create the reconstruction of this taxon. Congratulations to Dr. David Lovelace and colleagues!

NEW PAPER! Fossils are usually associated with bones, but soft tissues, such as skin, can be preserved. In this study, we use lasers to recover invisible, mysterious 150-million-year-old tissue decorating the tails of the first flying vertebrates, the pterosaurs. 🧵

Sharks eating dinosaurs! At the charming National Museum in Prague.
Totally morbid paleoart. But based on one of the few Czech dinosaur fossils, an ornithopod bone crisscrossed with the razor blade bites of sharks.

Rafael @rafadscruz.bsky.social and I are excited to share our new paper about fern fiddlehead evolution @currentbiology.bsky.social

Read the paper at www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thanks @palaeojules.bsky.social for the wonderful reconstructions!
Identification of a tetrahedral apical cell preserved within a fossilized fern fiddlehead
The gradual unfurling of fronds from tightly coiled tips, termed fiddleheads or croziers, is one of the most recognizable features of the fern lineage…

Absolute shock and pleasure that my artwork will feature in the upcoming Mesozic Art II

I've no formal education in art, most of my works are just quick personal doodles for fun. I'm glad they resonate with people. But, geniuenly, a huh, moment.

Truly one of the greatest honors of my life to today present Dugie Ross an honorary Doctor of Science at the University of Edinburgh.
Dr Ross left school young, built his own museum, discovered some of the first Scottish dinosaurs & made Skye into Scotland's Dinosaur Island.
Congrats Dr Dugie!
