#DYK our Cretaceous Garden includes fossils? The plants growing in this exhibit are living relatives of vegetation that grew in Alberta during the Cretaceous Period. If you look closely, you’ll notice a hadrosaur footprint and some petrified wood among the plants.

HAPPY [HOOONNK] #FOSSILFRIDAY

The Perot Museum prep team got creative to safely glue together chunks of a big #Tylosaurus lower jaw + maxilla we collected a couple summers ago. Kitty litter tub and giant sandbox to the rescue! #FossilFriday #paleontology #fossils #mosasaurs #Cretaceous

is this really necessary.

🚨MEET GARY!🚨

Our description of the first-known juvenile Edmontosaurus regalis skull was published today in JVP 🧵

pros & cons of working on extant osteology specimens (paleobiologist pov)

pros:
-no taphonomic shenanigans
-complete skeletons; more data!
-confident species IDs!!

cons:
-sometimes crispy
-sometimes wet 😭

Congrats Hank Sharpe for leading a great paper on the craniomandibular anatomy of #GarytheHadrosaur ! Our boy is out there! Congrats team Greg Funston Matthew Rhodes Aaron Dyer Christiana Garros !!!

🚨New paper!!🚨Fantastic work by Hank Sharpe on the skull anatomy of our wee Edmontosaurus, nicknamed Gary. I discovered Gary in 2017, but it was a major team effort finished off by Annie McIntosh, Mark James Powers and an army of volunteers.
