Something is happening. 🌅🚐

Hey everyone! My good mate D. Rex Mitchell has launched a YouTube channel, The Skullywag Lab! Everything you want to know about skulls, feeding biomechanics and R coding! youtube.com/@TheSkullywagL… Pop on over and show your support!

I'm so excited to be strapping my guitar on and playing with Sunshine Winnabago for the first time since 2007. m.moshtix.com.au/v2/event/chris…

Had a fun time talking fossils for Science at the Local on Sunday.

So, I guess I do insects now too? A nice little paper describing the first fossil mantis lacewing (mantidfly) from Australia, Neromantispa antiqua: mapress.com/pe/article/vie… PM me if you want a copy.

It is done! Special thanks to @MatthewRMcCurry for being an amazing supervisor, and to all my labmates, coauthors and colleagues for their help, support, guidance and willingness to have a beer and listen to me rant! Time to begin the next phase of my life.

#temnovember2024 day 1: Cochelosaurus And so we start a new year of #temnovember with the small edopoid #Cochleosaurus, from the late Carboniferous of Northamerica and Europe #paleoart #sciart #temnospondyl #amphibian #edopoid #Carboniferous

#temnovember2024 day 2: Neldasaurus Second day of #temnovember and we have the basal dvinosaurid #neldasurus, a mid size aquatic #temnospondyl from the permian of northamerica #paleoart #sciart #amphibian #dvinosaurus #permian

#temnovember2024 day 3: Thabanchuia And today, for the third day of #temnovember we have #Thabanchuia, a small #dvinosaurid, particularly notable for been of few non-sterospondyl temnospondyls present during the Triassic #paleoart #sciart #amphibian #temnospondyl #triassic

My new paper with Izak Schoon, Lachlan Hart, Russell Bicknell, Melanie Hopkins and Yong Yi Zhen on a new species of Triarthrus (trilobite) from NSW and its stratigraphic significance is out. Thanks to Katrina Kenny for the amazing reconstruction! openjournals.library.sydney.edu.au/LIN/article/vi…
