This week's paper is by @aubronectes.bsky.social all about complex Triassic seas from the high arctic publisehd in Science DOI: 10.1126/science.adx7390. Episode with @tweetisaurus.bsky.social available on YouTube or whether you get your podcasts www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt2I...
Geology and palaeobiology at the University of Leicester are under threat, with at least 14 staff expected to be made redundant. Support them, their postdocs, and their students by signing this petition: c.org/SK8Xm8dhqK
We listened to the critics and completed improved dating on the world’s oldest ichthyosaur locality. New paper out today: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/...
I guess now would be a good time for my first post here. Yesterday we published a new paper on the incredible ecosystem of tetrapods and other vertebrates in Science. It has been years of work - but we got there in the end. Thank you to everyone the contributed to this work ❤️
Our first follow up from the Science paper: New paper on tooth morphology in the Grippia Bonebed - the oldest and most diverse Mesozoic marine tetrapod ecosystem. Paper open access here: njg.geologi.no/publications...
Currently revisiting old haunts at the NHM in London - ready for the opening of Jurassic Oceans: Monsters of the Deep. An exhibition I contributed to a few years ago. Very excited!
"New exhibition, #JurassicOceans, showcases the fearsome creatures that lurked below the surface & offers a stark warning about the impact of warming waters on marine ecosystems."

Out in @nature.com today, we shake up the ornithischian family tree. Remember those weird Late Cretaceous iguanodontians, the rhabdodontids? Well they're weird because they aren't iguanodontians. They're ceratopsians. Well, at least some of them are... www.nature.com/articles/s41...
New results indicate that rhabdodontids and the previously described Ajkaceratops are actually distinctive European ceratopsians, a group better known from Asia and North America.

The geologically oldest sea-going reptile fossils occur in Lower Triassic (Smithian, ca. 250 Ma) strata of the Lusitaniadalen Member ([LM], Vikinghøgda
The Early Triassic saw the recovery of ecosystems after the most severe mass extinction event in Earth’s history. However, the ecosystems of the Early Triassic and their patterns of recovery after the Permian-Triassic mass extinction are poorly known due to a scarce fossil record. This study uses dental material to provide information on the taxonomic […]
An early Triassic bone bed excavated at 78°N changes the story about how marine life recovered after the most cataclysmic extinction in Earth history ~252 million years ago.
