The skeleton of the ichthyosaur Besanosaurus helps to infer its swimming style. link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Hi paleo community. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend SVP in Minneapolis at the end of this month. In the unlikely you haven't registered but still wanna attend, I now have an Early Bird ticket available at the "Student Member/Transitional Early-Career Member" level!

A new paper about ichthyosaurs from Tyndall fossil locality.Validity of Myobradypterygius hauthali von Huene, 1927 (Ichthyosauria: Ophthalmosauria) from the Early Cretaceous of Chile and Argentina academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/art… And the first ophthalmosaurinae from Southern Hemisphere!

This is a very good attempt at the ontogeny issue! Two questions: 1) How complete and undeformed do specimens have to be to exclude taphonomic bias in discrete non-variable characters? 2) Is the tooth count character transferable to amniotes with differing tooth implantation?

It's out! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

🦴Check out our new paper describing the internal anatomy of the long-necked tanysaurians, showing that bizarre inner vertebral anatomy is not restricted to dinosaurs and pterosaurs. This is part of the PhD work of Adam Rytel. Watch out for much more! doi.org/10.1093/zoolin…

Only one week left to apply for this Narodowe Centrum Nauki position and work with me on Cenozoic lizards and snakes. If you are interested or have any questions, feel free to contact me.

I can say with my insider information this is going to be a very helpful one :)

This is a project I will be following closely! :)

The last remaining chapter of my thesis is finally published! We investigated the peculiar morphology of the pectoral girdle of two clades of aquatic crocs: Thalattosuchia & Dyrosauridae 🐊 doi.org/10.1002/ar.255… Prof. Valentin Fischer Dr. Michela Johnson Jouve Stéphane

#ScienceNews An international research team presents the world's oldest mammalian ancestor. An fossil of a sabre-toothed carnivore from the Permian period has been found in Mallorca. Among the researchers was Dr Eudald Mujal from Naturkundemuseum Stuttgart. More info: naturkundemuseum-bw.de/en/press/detai…

The date is set! See you all in Kraków!! :)
