A little something to read for my French colleagues about our latest paper describing a new early vertebrate from the mid-Cambrian Marjum Fm. of Utah.

Nice specimen of Falcatamacaris bellua (Cambrian Weeks Fm., Utah)? Hell yeah! Worth $17,000? I am not a collector, but I do not think so...

The MCZ and Harvard Organismic & Evolutionary Biology welcome three new Biodiversity Postdoctoral Fellows this month: Valentine Bouju (entomology), Rodrigo T.

🚨Please share/RT: I am looking for prospective PhD students to join my forthcoming lab at UMich Ecology and Evolutionary Biology UM Paleontology for Fall 2025. Students interested in network ecology, paleobiology, and theoretical and systems biology or related, please fill: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

The MCZ was awarded a new digitization grant and we have two new positions to fill! We are looking for curatorial assistants (one full-time, one part-time) to rehouse and digitize our invertebrate microscope slide collections. bit.ly/48dxQJJ and bit.ly/48dwqy

🚨 A bit of promotion for the work we do on the mid-Cambrian Marjum biota in Utah. Feel free to contact me if you want to know more. Thanks to the The Royal Society and our collaborators at the Museum of Comparative Zoology NHMU Bureau of Land Management Utah. royalsociety.org/blog/2024/11/m…

Best conference logo ever!!! 😍 The Invertebrate Paleo Lab Museum of Comparative Zoology Harvard Organismic & Evolutionary Biology is totally visiting beautiful Chile 🇨🇱 next year to share some Cambrian and Ordovician creatures 🤩

🚨Another little promotional piece, this time from our collaborators in Utah. I hope this blog post will help, even in a small way, to raise awareness among Utahns about the fantastic Cambrian paleontological archive their state holds.
