MSc student Josh Wasserlauf blogs about his research on hadrosaurid tooth isotopes #CMNPalaeo nature.ca/en/duck-billed…

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

So awesome! Wenyu does some astounding work.

Wow. It turns out that ceratopsids absolutely had fully erect, 'elbows-in' forelimbs.

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.

Tried something new in lab this year: argument mapping exercise. We picked a topic (sauropod neck posture) & traced the argument through the lit over many weeks. We only scratched the surface, but it's a great way to teach students how to navigate the lit & formulate arguments.

Helped this big dude cross the road yesterday. First time handling a snapper. He was none too grateful.

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

The Largest T. Rex Could Have Been 70 Percent Heavier Than Fossils Suggest - smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/the… @smithsonianmag

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

Collected this day, 100 years ago. Charlie Sternberg and party secured the holotype skull of Anchiceratops longirostris. #CMNPalaeo

I learned something new today: palaeontologist Charlie Sternberg was into curling. #CMNPalaeo

Anyone happen to know where I can find Charles H. Sternberg's 1908 and 1909 field notes relating to his fieldwork in Wyoming (original or transcripts)?
