Baby Spinosaurus and Mawsonia

Big news! Our study, just out in nature, is a game-changer for giant ichthyosaurs! We describe the 1st Temnodontosaurus flipper with fossilized soft tissue, giving us a unique look at how these massive creatures used stealth while hunting in darkness. 1/8 #science #NEWS #Scicomm

I am proud and grateful to present a dream project today in nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… Meet #Mirasaura grauvogeli, a #wonderreptilewith skin appendages that rival feathers and hairs, challenging our view of reptile #evolution🪶🦎

Two weeks until I must hand in my PhD thesis...

#FossilFriday Keichousaurus hui at the Natural History Museum in Stockholm, Sweden.

A cast skeleton of the elasmosaurid, Thalassomedon haningtoni, at the Natural History Museum in Stockholm for #FossilFriday. The cast skeleton of this plesiosaur is also on display in Denver and the AMNH in NYC. I guess this might be the most common elasmosaurid cast?

🚨New plesiosaur from Germany🚨 I'm happy to announce that our paper on Plesionectes longicollum, a new plesiosaur from the Lower Jurassic Posidonia Shale of Holzmaden, has just been released in PeerJ. 1/5 #Science #Palaeontology #Germany doi.org/10.7717/peerj.…

A new day a new plesiosaur! The Posidonia shale is a gift that keeps on giving! Please welcome Plesionectes! An animal that looks more like a elasmosaur than an early Jurassic plesiosaur. Here is is shown with the relatives it overlapped with. Paper below

After so many years it is great to see the Angolan dyrosaur croc published! 🐊 Congratulations to Filippo M. Rotatori Eduardo Puértolas 👏🏽 academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/art…

A new ‘Godzilla Minus One guitar’ designed by Takashi Yamazaki has been gifted to the Japanese rock band The Alfee.

Brand new paper about meshing in computational fluid dynamics simulations for organic geometries in paleobiology published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution offering both practical guidance and structured comparison of meshing techniques in #CFD | ComCiència URV ➡️doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

Check this paper out! A complete soft-tissue body outline of a nothosauroid is described! The enlarged forelimb musculature suggests a predominately paraxial mode of swimming, similar to a seal! Scalation is also described! sjpp.springeropen.com/articles/10.11…

PhD thesis is printed! My thesis defense is in two weeks, where I will present and discuss the research I have completed as a PhD student at Lund University. Cover art by the very talented artist, Oakyere. Check out his projects on ArtStation: artstation.com/oakyere
