Here the result of the Escuminac Formation #paleostream!
These deposits from the Devonian of Canada offer a glimpse into a coastal fish community with some absolute bangers and historical favorites. But it doesn't come without it challenges.
A sudden, heart-rending and tragic loss...
Rest in peace, Ben Bartlett, greatest and most beloved of all paleo docu soundtrack composers. You painted for us a glorious vision of lost worlds with unforgettable music, music that shall always echo in our hearts...

Results from the Flocking #paleostream!
Megamastax, Ornitholestes, Tanyka and Eosteus
Out over the Atlantic and headed home after a few great days of intense fossil fishing w/ @aminff.bsky.social & @gilespalaeo.bsky.social in B'ham. Sorted some old problems and turned up some new ones. Until next time!
Result from Flocking #paleostream!
Tusciziphius, Cyrtograptus, Callawayia and Doryaspis
Our work on the histology and mineralization patterns of 3 Devonian chondrichthyan taxa from Morocco is finally out now! I am very happy to share this work and hope there will be more to come about early shark tooth histology!
Thanks to all my co-authors, especially Hector Botella!

Exporting Moroccan fossils without a licence has been illegal since 2020, but the law has been a little unclear for those outside Morocco. In our new paper, my colleague and friend Kawtar Ech-charay clearly explains the law, using our field area as a case study: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
