Help support this fundamental work in paleoecology by UW Biology Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture University of Washington UW College of Arts & Sciences graduate student.

Another good day in the field. Jeff Wilson Mantilla @diapophysis.bsky.social here scoping out vertebrate microfossils in infratrappean rocks from quarry spoil piles. Croc fish turtle. #india #paleontology

Yesterday we started the 2nd leg of our fieldwork shifting to the Nand-Dongargaon basin. Dhananjay Mohabey gave the team the low down on these uppermost Cretaceous deposits and Jeff Wilson Mantilla @diapophysis.bsky.social and the team scored some of our best fossil discoveries thus far. . . more on that later!

Wow. Good day. All looked lost til the last hour of the day and Dhananjay Mohabey pulled another rabbit out of his hat. Perhaps the last sauropod dinosaur to walk in India and beyond. Now to figure out how to excavate it!

Congratulations to Stromberg Lab grads Alex Lowe and Paige Wilson on their recent GSA Student Research Grants. Good luck with the summer fieldwork! Wilson-Mantilla KPg Lab

Hey, that's me! Truly the most exciting day of my life: finally my name is on a plaque! #teaching #geology

Nice work Paige Wilson of Stromberg Lab and Wilson-Mantilla KPg Lab!! You're an awesome #teacher! Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture

It's not all #fossils at the DIG! Sedimentology/stratigraphy are critical aspects of #paleontology #fieldwork . Here are some DIG participants learning how to measure the distance of their fossil localities to the K-Pg boundary #10YearsOfDIG #GeologyRocks

#Virtual Midcontinent #Paleobotanical Colloquium is going on right now!! Over 200 registered participants from all over the world with all career stages and paths represented. Wow!!! Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture UW Biology

I will be hiring a PhD student to work on shark extinctions using the fossil record in early 2021 (if things go back to "normal" then). If you are interested, or know of someone, please let me know. I encourage underrepresented students to apply.

Hey yall plz retweet! I'm searching for a post-doctoral researcher who is interested in integrative paleobotany and/or plant systematics. If you have enthusiasm for plant fossils, anatomy, and phylogenetics, contact me!

Job alert: tenure-track assistant or tenured associate professor of early hominin paleobiology or paleoecology in the University of Chicago's Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy! apply.interfolio.com/84627

Graduate students and postdocs in vertebrate paleontology! Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture will be offering collections study grants this fall, with applications due November 10th. Full details here: burkemuseum.org/collections-an… #FossilFriday

Alex Brannick (she/her) Fantastic work Alex! This is an important contribution. UWPaleo UW Biology Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Wilson-Mantilla KPg Lab

Howdy NAPC delegates! Some of us are planning a group bike ride for the Wednesday of the meeting. So if you're interested in a change of pace and seeing some great Michigan scenery, let me know!
