My institute has a pet snail called Go-Taq so I've been periodically wandering over to them to check they are sufficiently misted.

Saw the (old) Stigmaria and the (new) caecilian (video below) at Manchester Museum this weekend.

Won @matt-humpage.bsky.social 's prize winning Prototaxites reconstruction in the @progpal2025.bsky.social auction last week, I think everyone knew better than to try to bid against me for it!

And also some exclusive behind the scenes photos of me and @jeremywyman.bsky.social beautifying a patch of moss (hiding the tracheophytes) for our Prototaxites photo shoot

🎊We are very pleased to announce that our paper investigating what we think Prototaxites, the mysterious giant of the Devonian landscape, actually was is now available as a pre-print on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social.
