I’m at the annual paleontology conference. Here’s how people today have described their work:

“I basically study swamp monsters”
“I’m a dinosaur orthodontist”
“Dead bird bird watcher”

Part one of a series on Montana’s ceratopsid dinosaurs. Did you know that Montana has more species of horned dinosaur than any other state?

Did ceratopsian (horned) & ankylosaur (armored) dinosaurs walk together? Newly discovered dinosaur tracksite in Dinosaur Provincial Park (Alberta CA) suggests they did, similar to modern multi-species herds. News item includes comments by Yours Truly. 🧪🦖🐾

P.S. Quite a day for cool fossil finds!
A set of 76-million-year-old tracks discovered in Canada might be the first evidence for different species of dinosaur herding together.
Remarkable set of tracks suggests different dinosaurs herded together

Happy #FossilFriday! While the Cretaceous Two Medicine Formation is known for its dinosaur fossils, other organisms including lizards, turtles, fish and crocodilians are also found in its ecosystem. Come learn more about the Two Medicine Formation at the Cretaceous Crossroads exhibit opening!

For #FossilFriday, here's me (~2013) w/ a cast of "Yoshi's Trike" as it was being mounted at

I helped excavate this critter in 2011, and AFAIK it still has the longest brow horns of any Triceratops ever found. Interesting stratigraphic and evolutionary implications
