We present: Argovisaurus the real Middle jurassic menace!!! Fantastic to see an animal I helped name come to live :). Cant wait to see it in person!!

🚨 New paper out now in Evolution Journal! 🚨 Our intl team led by Laboury Antoine demonstrates contrasting macroevolutionary patterns in iconic #marinereptiles—#ichthyosaurs and #eosauropterygians—across the #Triassic–#Jurassic transition 🌊🦎📈 Accepted manuscript: tinyurl.com/4dbdp43h

What happened in the morphological diversification of marine reptile predators across the T/J boundary ? 🦎 See our accepted manuscript in Evolution Journal tinyurl.com/4dbdp43h. 👀 Many thanks to Dr Tom Stubbs, Andrzej Wolniewicz, Jun Liu, Torsten Scheyer, Marc Jones and Prof. Valentin Fischer ☺️

I finally got to meet the REAL Tiktaalik! Yep, the awesome "fishapod". It's been a fantastic trip to the Academy of Natural Sciences here in Philadelphia. Academy of Natural Sciences

Studies on Cartorhynchus

New paper (3rd over 9 days 😅) out now in SwissJPalaeo: tinyurl.com/2yxncs45! New information on the dentition of #Chaohusaurus zhangjiawanensis, an early #ichthyosaur from the Early #Triassic of Hubei Province, #China, w/Li-ang Gu and Jun Liu from HFUT 🦎🦷🇨🇳 #fossilfriday

Great start to the weekend!!! 🥳 Our work on the ontogenetic histology of Macrospondylus bollensis 🐊 has now been published online; one of the most fun projects I've ever done and can't wait to continue with this work! anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar…

Printed a bunch of different saber teeth for @Tseng_ZJ 's extreme mammals class, of course I had to print in different colors to make a Belgian flag 🇧🇪😎🦷

📢📢 New preprint out now on EarthArXiv! "deeptime: an R package that facilitates highly customizable visualizations of data over geological time intervals" That's right, there is now a proper citable paper for my deeptime R package! doi.org/10.31223/X5841N #rstats #geology

🧵1/6 Want to know all about the knees of rhinos, horses and tapirs? Our study about variation of patellar shape in modern perissodactyls conducted together with Alexandra Houssaye has finally been published in PeerJ - the Journal of Life & Environment! 🦏🐴 peerj.com/articles/18067

🦴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…

Supermassive new paper (162 pages!) led by Dr Isaure Scavezzoni on the pectoral girdle anatomy of thalattosuchian and dyrosaurid crocodylomorphs Dr. Michela Johnson onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/R…

Was very exciting to scan these iconic fossils in the Natural History Museum with Marc Jones ! Thanks again to all the team Andrzej Wolniewicz Prof. Valentin Fischer Dr Tom Stubbs, Torsten Scheyer and Jun Liu. Our paper published in Evolution Journal is accessible if you're curious 😉 nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/…

Really proud to have finally submitted my Ph.D. manuscript 🥳 I would like to thanks everyone who helped during this adventure, especially Prof. Valentin Fischer, Dr Tom Stubbs and Torsten Scheyer for their brilliant supervision!

New paper about the functioning of saber teeth led by the amazing Dr Tahlia Pollock 🥳 combining 3DGM with biomechanical testing we identified functional optimality as a key driver underpinning the repeated evolution of extreme saber-tooth morphologies 🔪🦁 cell.com/current-biolog…

New paper out! 🎉 64 pages of #osteology, with some #taxonomy and a scent of #phylogenetics! The monstrosity called #Seeleyosaurus is finally off our desks! The paper was published in The Anatomical Record and can be accessed here: 👉 doi.org/10.1002/ar.256…

🚨 New plesiosaur paper 🚨 After 12 years of work, our paper about Seeleyosaurus was published today. It was the first complete plesiosaur found in Germany. The holotype at the NHM Berlin is almost complete, articulated and even has fossilised skin. 1/6 #FossilFriday #Science

A super cool crowdfunding project led by colleagues from Université de Liège aiming to fund a life-sized reproduction of a mosasaur to be installed in the Meuse river! Super neat artistic and scientific diffusion project, help us to fund it here: promethea.koalect.com/project/43722

Yunguisaurus liae This is an animal that is not very good at swimming and is more active in shallow waters near the sea~
