Australian ankylosaurs! Exceedingly proud of @tfrauenf for getting his first PhD chapter published. Here he describes the second #ankylosaur skull from Australia ?Kunbarrasaurus. Thanks @Joseph_Bevitt @RussellBicknel1 & Tom Brougham for scanning the specimen @ANSTO @ausynchrotron

@palaeopittman et al. use modern imaging approaches to report that Haestasaurus becklesii was the owner of the first non-avian dinosaur skin. 🦕

Palaeontologists have discovered more than 100 dinosaur footprints in Canada, revealed as a riverbank eroded away, nicknaming it 'Tyrants Aisle'. @Paleoworld101

🚨🚨 The second time this week...for #DarwinDay, a new #paleontology paper out of @PalaeoScience in @tandfonline!
This time, I document brilliant, Devonian-aged rocks from Russia with Serge Naugolnykh. Seeing as it is an understudied Lagerstatte, another 🧵is in order. 1/4

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
To the great women ichthyologists in my life, Sally Reader, Helen Larson @Eviota, Di Bray and Patricia Kailola, thank you.

🚨🚨 New trilobite paper live from @PalaeoScience . An awesome collaboration between @DGarciaBellido, John Paterson, James Holmes, and Steve Pates that documents injured Emu Bay Shale trilobites.
Figured as this has been around since my PhD...I would do 🧵 1/7

THE CROC THAT ATE A DINOSAUR! Our paper on the very cool Cretaceous Australian crocodylian Confractosuchus is out 🐊🎉.
Using #neutronCT @ANSTO we serendipitously uncovered its last meal: a teeny ornithopod in its gut, partially digested w/ bite marks! 😋

A huge congratulations to the teams at @AAOD_QLD, @PalaeoScience, @ANSTO & @ucmpberkeley for this extraordinary outcome. A massive and special thanks to Matt White for leading the charge on this project... and teasing every detail out of the TBs of CT data! – at Sydney, New South Wales

Interested in dinosaur skin? Our new paper highlights the evolution of goosebump-like skin textures in sauropod dinosaurs 🦕during the Early Jurassic, possibly tied to increased gigantism? Big thanks to
@PalaeoPittman and other co-authors! @PalaeoScience nature.com/articles/s42003-0…

Hot off the press! Our description of the Tyrants Aisle dinosaur tracksite near Grande Prairie, Alberta, is now published by @PLOSONE. Thanks to all my coauthors, including @PaleoNic @AncientAnatomy, and everyone else involved with #BADP! @PalaeoScience doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone…

Exciting stuff is happening at the @MQBiology Palaeobiology Lab! Starting to pick Cambrian fossils from the #FlindersRanges, South Australia!
Thanks to @200micron, @PalaeoScience, @SRStretton and @litholab_une for sending the rocks over!

Tuning in to the The Science of Opal Formation Symposium hosted by the #australianopalcentre today! Great talk by @PalaeoScience's Dr Phil Bell about the age of opal. 👏

1⃣Cambrian #smallshellyfossils (SSF) are usually pieces of exoskeletons made by some of the first complex animals in the #fossil record. Many are ancient relatives of modern animals, but some remain “enigmatic”, their position on the #treeoflife still uncertain. #SSoS21

#SciCommSeptember 4: Avocados have a big seed because they evolved to be eaten whole and dispersed by megafauna like the extinct #giantgroundsloth. These guys loved avos, munching them down and spreading the seeds far and wide. They gave great hugs too. #labreatarpits

@UniNewEngland are currently offering PhD scholarships for international students! Get in touch if you're a keen budding palaeoscientist or geoscientist - we have LOTS of exciting projects available! @PalaeoScience @litholab_une #phdresearch #internationalscholarship

Exceptional day 2 in southern Queensland with #SBMVP2021 with so many bones! Possible multitaxic bonebed! Here is @Paleoworld101 with one of the finds of the day, a possible sauropod cervical. Beautiful country, with nice modern dinos too, an apostle bird. Having fun @tfrauenf?

I always feel super lucky to have the #IkaraFlinders as my field site. Beautiful place with deep cultural heritage and world-class #Precambrian and #Cambrian geology. ⛰️🐚✨

Teaching in the field is my FAVE. Love seeing students having those "Ah-ha!" moments while putting theory into practice. #geoscienceteaching
@UniNewEngland palaeo students made some fantastic #fossil discoveries on their #fieldtrip today to see lower #Carboniferous rocks near Somerton, NSW. Wonderful to have students together again for on campus and field experiences!
