Our new paper on toothed #whale jaws is out today in Current Biology. The jaw of toothed whales is unique in that it is used for both #hearing & #feeding. We investigate what’s happened to the shape of the #jaw over 50 million years🐬 cell.com/current-biolog…

NEW AUSTRALIAN PTEROSAUR. 'Petersen's Sea Phantom' Amazing work by Adele Pentland and colleagues as per usual. Thrilled and honoured to be some small part of it.

Elasmarians are highly diverse in morphology. Animals like Gasparinisaura and Diluvicursor represent small classic hypsilophodontid-like forms, Talenkauen and kin represent mid-sized long-necked forms, while Muttaburrasaurus represents a multi-ton “iguanodontid-mimic” form.

And good news! Elasmarians, predictably, continue to be weird 🥳
