New dino announcement! Welcome Datai yinliangis, the ankylosaur with double cheek horns. Another collab with Tetsuto Miyashita, Lida XING, and Keching Niu. Beautiful life restoration by @Crocodonist. Description in Vertebrate Anatomy Morphology Palaeontology here: journals.library.ualberta.ca/vamp/index.php… #CMNPalaeo
Fossils found during road construction in China = a new #ankylosaur species, Datai yingliangis. Described by our scientists Jordan Mallon+Tetsuto Miyashita, and colleagues in China. The dinos died as juveniles, one lying on the other. #FossilFriday. bit.ly/48lP2uY
New paper out today in Vertebrate Anatomy Morphology Palaeontology by former student t. murray wj redescribing a baby hadrosaurid skull using CT tech. Great work, Trystan! #CMNPalaeo journals.library.ualberta.ca/vamp/index.php…
If you want to hear me talk about dinosaurs and watch me rub my leg for two hours, then you're in for a real treat! Thanks to Just Chill with Oliver George for having me on.
The Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology Museum in Drumheller is hiring a new curatorial position for Mesozoic marine reptiles. Full time, permanent. Deadline June 26. Posting: jobpostings.alberta.ca/job/DRUMHELLER… Description: mydocs.wfd.alberta.ca/media/zpbohfqk…
How big could T. rex get? How does bias in the fossil record affect our ability to sample the largest body sizes? I try to answer these questions with Dr Dave Hone here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… With fantastic supporting artwork by Mark Witton. #CMNPalaeo
How large could dinosaurs get? Jordan Mallon and Dr Dave Hone used T-rex as an example: computer modelling suggests this king of the carnivores may have been 70% heavier, and 25% longer. Read more: bit.ly/3WBOUoy #FossilFriday #Dinosaurs #TRex
Well done, Josh Wasserlauf! Josh worked on questions of hadrosaurid palaeoecology using C, O, and Sr isotopes. Keep an eye out -- he's got some intriguing results to share... #CMNPalaeo
