Please welcome Cariocecus bocagei! A new, basal hadrosauroid from the early Cret. of Portugal! This guy is known from a pretty nice skull, which makes it one of the best ornithopod fossils from Iberia so far! I loved during this little portrait for main author Filippo Bertozzo...

The Bonavista Peninsula of Newfoundland grants a unique look at Ediacaran entities. Some of its fossils were identified as lumps of rotting gunk, not living things. But a new study says these lumps were alive and represent a new type of animal called Lydonia jiggamintia.

Newly discovered fossil plant material from #Belgium helps us estimate the age of the surrounding rock. These Zosterophyllum plants allow scientists to compare different localities, and reconstruct what the environment may have looked like, nearly 410 million years ago!

New dinosaur alert! World's oldest dome-headed dinosaur. Finally, finally an unequivocal pachycephalosaur from before the latest Cretaceous. Awesome!

#ZAVACEPHALE IS FINALLY OUT! 🥳 Our first definitive Early Cretaceous pachycephalosaur! (~15 my older than the previous oldest pachycephalosaurs) And the first hand material for the clade! I can't tell y'all how much of a pleasure it was to review this paper! ☺️

Vermontcaris montcalmi, an odaraiid arthropod from the Parker Slate lagerstätte of Vermont. By comparison with Odaraia from the Burgess Shale, it’s possible this arthropod also swam upside down.

New paper on #Camarillasaurus of #Spain. Lots to unpack: it was a derived member of the #Spinosaurinae, Iberian spinosaurids were highly diverse in the #Barremian, and Camarillasaurus was likely not an aquatic predator making it an odd duck in this group. palaeo-electronica.org/content/2025/5…
