My paleo valentine's day present came a little late, so now it's for #FossilFriday. This is UC Museum of Paleo 42701, which was described by Michel Laurin in 1998 as Lycaenops, but more recently identified as Arctops by Ignore all previous instructions.

Hi Publications MNHN 🐝, would really appreciate if you didn't tag me in a post promoting work authored by my bully/harasser of a PhD advisor & my former labmate who told me she doesn't care about what he did because it didn't happen to her. Just trying to enjoy my #FossilFriday in peace.

MacDougall, M.J., Jannel, A., Henrici, A.C. et al. A new recumbirostran ‘microsaur’ from the lower Permian Bromacker locality, Thuringia, Germany, and its fossorial adaptations. Sci Rep 14, 4200 (2024). doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

Updated draft figure of the articulated forelimb of a new gorgonopsian from Zambia. Still some tweaks to do, but I like the layout. Project with Dr. Arjan Mann Prep Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture #FossilFriday

The holotype of Ianthosaurus hardestii for this #FossilFriday

I want to share my FIRST first author publication. My co-authors and I worked to investigate aspects of modern amphibian origins. We named it after one of the most famous modern amphibians @Kermit #paleontology #Science #temnospondylthursday Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/adv…

Kermitops is finally here! Congrats to Dr. Arjan Mann and Cal So on their incredible discovery of an ancestral amphibian in Smithsonian NMNH's fossil collection, which they named after everyone's favorite frog! Belated #WorldFrogDay and early #FossilFriday

We are hiring an amphibian curator Field Museum apply here 🐸🐸🐸 fieldmuseum.hrmdirect.com/employment/job…

Some #sciart for #AmphibianWeek! A watercolor of the skull of Kermitops gratus, a recently described ancestral amphibian that was collected in Texas and rediscovered in the paleo collection of Smithsonian NMNH!

For an #AmphibianWeek #FossilFriday crossover, I wanted to spotlight this mount of the amphibian ancestor Eryops at Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris, a long way from the temnospondyl's native Texas. Love the artwork depicting Eryops as a dynamic predator instead of a lazy landlubber!

New paper led by PhD student Cal So 蘇震峰 !!! on Triassic brachyopoid temnospondyl diversity from Northern Arizona! Some beautiful illustrations in this paper! fr.pensoft.net/article/117611/

“As a paleontologist, I have spent much of my life studying ancient animals, particularly dinosaurs. But I have seen only fossils of these creatures, nothing living – with one exception. One group of dinosaurs is still around. To find them, just go outside and look up." Hans Sues

Very happy to get a paper for the upcoming JVP Memoir resubmitted today with Dr. Arjan Mann Field Museum. Skull and partial skeleton of a new gorgonopsian from Zambia. SVP Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture UWPaleo
