Day 5 of the Iberian Cordillera Fieldtrip, our Palaeontology & Evolution students @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social investigated the Lower Cretaceous Las Hoyas wetland with its exceptionally preserved dinosaurs, birds, early mammals and early members of the flowering plants
Day 4 of the Iberian Cordillera Fieldtrip, our Palaeontology & Evolution students @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social constructed a sea level curve and palaeogeography for middle and upper Ordovician of Fombuena
my @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social master's research on alvarezsaur arms is finally out today! we used range of motion and moment arms analysis to show that these weird little dinosaurs probably did use their teeny tiny arms to dig 🦴
Today was Day 1 of the Iberian Cordillera Fieldtrip for our Palaeontology & Evolution students @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social. We packed in a flight to Alicante and a drive to Teruel to visit Dinopolis and Albarracin to visit the Jurassic Seas museum
Final day of the Iberian Cordillera Fieldtrip, our Palaeontology & Evolution students @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social visited Museu de las Ciencias de la Terra in Alacasser and on to the K-Pg boundary section in Agost
Day 2 of the Iberian Cordillera Fieldtrip for our Palaeontology & Evolution students @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social we looked at exceptional preservation in Miocene lakes and Cretaceous deltas
Day 6 of the Iberian Cordillera Fieldtrip, our Palaeontology & Evolution students @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social visited Museo de Paleontología de Castilla-La Mancha, constructed food webs for Las Hoyas from museum collections, and debated museum designs and communicating palaeontology to the public
Day 3 of the Iberian Cordillera Fieldtrip, our Palaeontology & Evolution students @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social investigated the taphonomy of cinctans (bilateral stem-echinoderms) and the nature of middle Cambrian marine environments
Abstract. Numerous lineages of theropod dinosaurs display notable modification of the forelimb, particularly reduction in size and number of digits. Alvare
Our latest: Dermoskeletal histology of Moythomasia and the evolution of the vertebrate dermal skeleton, led by Xianren Shan and Edine Pape, with a little help from Martin Rucklin @evopalaeo.bsky.social and Davide Pisani @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social
Our MSc in Palaeobiology has its 30th anniversary in 2026! We're delighted to invite you to a special event celebrating the anniversary, exploring the contributions to science by Bristol palaeobiologists during that time, and looking to the future.

The figure presents a model of Moythomasia and a schematic histological model illustrating the internal structure and features of the cranial bones. These include bone (brown), osteocyte spaces (red)...
