Our new paper is available in FirstView! It's an overview of the directions in which paleobiology could aid shark conservation. Thanks to the editors for the invitation to contribute to the Paleobiology 50th anniversary special issue. I can't wait to see all other contributions!

Is this hyperadaptationism or what?

Even though our presence at the Jornadas Argentinas de Paleontologia de Vertebrados was not possible due to the climatic calamity situation currently affecting the south of Brazil, the event organizers allowed our participation through recorded lectures. Grateful for that :)

We're looking forward to welcoming all kinds of palaeontologists to Erlangen this December for the The PalAss Annual Meeting! 🐚🦕🌿🌍 Registration info coming soon, in the meantime, check out our offerings of workshops and field/museum trips! palass.org/meetings-event…

After new discoveries in southern Brazil, I've become even more fascinated by pareiasaurs, these magnificent Permian armored creatures! Here's a beautiful Bradysaurus from the Council for Geosciences in Pretoria, South Africa #FossilFriday

For this #fossilfriday, I'd say I miss doing field work with Felipe Pinheiro Voltaire Paes Neto Jujuba🍬🍬 and Arielli F Machado.

Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈

Hypercanines: Not just for sabertooths! This new article reviews their occurrence, growth & function. Among herbivores, hypercanines often serve for sexual display and competition, while some small ruminants evolved movable hypercanines. By Lars Werdelin: doi.org/10.1002/ar.255…

On this #FossilFriday, we celebrate our research team’s master's student jaqueline , who has just submitted her first scientific paper on a crazy bonebed of the cynodont Exaeretodon riograndensis!

With great pleasure, I present the first paper resulting from my PhD! A partnership with researchers from UFRGS, UoB Palaeobiology, Museu de Ciencias Naturales (Argentina), CAPPA - Centro de Apoio à Pesquisa Paleontológica and Fundação Zoobotânica (RS) rdcu.be/dKSM7

Check this out!!! Amazing contribution by Pedro Fonseca et al.

My first first-author publication is now out!🚨🚨 We redescribe the skull & mandible of the late Permian Scottish dicynodont Gordonia traquairi. Also, for the first time, we describe a digitally reconstructed endocast of a dicynodon-like dicynodont 🧵 1/10

🔎¿Sabías que a través de la Paleontología podemos conocer cómo evolucionarán los ecosistemas en la 🌎? ➡️Les compartimos el estudio "A Look into the Past: Fossils from the Campos Sulinos Región" en que colaboramos con UFSM - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria y UNIPAMPA 🌐link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

For today's #FossilFriday, here's another plate from our soon-to-be-published taxonomic revision of Santana Group pterosaurs. One plate per week, and we won't need to publish the paper anymore 😅😅😅

We are glad to present the release of our recent study on ornithischian evolution. doi.org/10.1080/147720… Mauricio Garcia Iain R Ruairidh Duncan

Now that I'm officially back in the realm of pterosaurs, here are some photos of the beautiful AMNH 22555 - Anhanguera sp. We re-evaluated this specimen in 2017 (see link below). #FossilFriday peerj.com/articles/3285/
