First Podokesaurus Project Exploratory Field Trip to be announced soon, going to be looking for volunteers. Keep your eyes on this space if you’re interested…

Help us look for Podokesaurus-bearing rocks! Volunteer sign-up for our first exploratory field trip is live, just fill out the form below (or contact us directly if you don’t have a Google account): docs.google.com/forms/u/0/d/1E…

We’re at the AMNH this week visiting Podok’s cousin, Coelophysis. Featuring Freya with a large slab and me with my favorite bone: the pubis from the original type series of C. longicollis.

Preliminary phylogenetic analysis recovers Podokesaurus as a… podokesaurid (and I’m not telling what that means)

We’ll be giving a short talk at Mount Holyoke this Thursday, in celebration of their new Podokesaurus exhibit. We will be sharing our latest anatomical observations and phylogenetic results that you won’t be able to hear anywhere else!

Thanks again to Mount Holyoke for allowing us to present some of our in-progress Podokesaurus revision. The first new science on the species in almost 60 years!

Making some interesting breakthroughs in interpreting Podok’s dorsal verts. Thinking we’re seeing them from a different perspective than previously thought, + some internal features not before appreciated

Happy #DinosaurDay to you and yours! If Mignon Talbot were here to celebrate, she’d probably say: “Where am I? How did I get here?”

Getting help with the analysis

BEHOLD… Rupert Wild’s temnospondyl, from which tapioca boba are harvested.

We got to walk on dinosaur tracks today (and also got a lot of real work done.)

Spent the day at Yale checking out Connecticut Valley fossils, Coelophysis, and the oldest surviving dinosaur fossil found in the western hemisphere (2nd pic.) We also got Raising Cane’s for the first time.

Freya has been busy prepping a Jurassic plant from Massachusetts that we collected a few weeks ago; most of this was covered when we found it. She’ll need the practice for when we find CT Valley bones🤞

Did some quarrying today for the Museum and found a few Devonian fish elements

Podokesaurus with a smile. hi-res, Draft and alternate version on Patreon: patreon.com/c/thepaleoarto…

I swear I had to get under this thing to get good pictures of real fossils that somebody built into the floor…

Neat little unprepared Coelophysis snout we came across on our latest collections visit
