Happy Pride Month!
Did you know, palaeontology has more queer people than average population! Over 30% in Early Careers! 1 in 3 junior palaeontologist you'll meet, will be queer. This stat drops with seniority. Palaeontology underperforms across all other diversity metrics otherwise. 🧵
Baby ichthyosaur alert! Here we describe the Besanosaurus foetus for the first time in detail. The holotype of Besanosaurus was thought to preserve embryonic material earlier, but here we studied it in detail. It is a single foetus. lying in tail-first presentation.

Congratulations to Astrid for her bachelor internship with us at the Natural HistoryMuseum @biovitenskap.bsky.social! Her work is a great start for a formal description of the remaining ichthyosaur specimens from the Late Jurassic Slottsmøya Member at Svalbard🤩 Note the 3D printed supraoccipital!🧪
New publication 🥳 More whales in museums🐳 The entire history of one whale from death to exhibit! Preparation and mounting of a sperm whale at the Natural History Museum in Oslo, Norway - out now in @nhcm.pensoft.net led by Maximo Rojo. 🧪 nhcm.pensoft.net/article/1917...
Dear fellow ichthyosaur researchers! Unique opportunity to talk only about our favourite animal group🤩🐬 Abstract submission is now open for @ipc7.bsky.social, we hope to see many abstracts for our symposium, on ichthyosaur origins, phylogeny, evolution of traits, ecology, physiology and extinction.🧪
Art director students did a poster project to communicate research at Natural History Museum @uio.no, and the results are wonderful! Can be seen in the Botanical Garden this summer 🤩🐬 Two posters about our work on ichthyosaurs 🧪
Seminar for the end of the ECHO project! Thanks to colleagues and students, and amazing collaborators @houssayecnrs.bsky.social @palaeo-prof.bsky.social @hjmfm.bsky.social Nick Pyenson, Ben Kear and Parvez Alam.Special thanks to postdoc Mathieu Faure-Brac, and Research Council of Norway for funding🧪
One of the best parts of being a researcher is meeting talented students. This spring our group is fortunate to host three bachelor students from @uio.no and @uni-muenster.de: Robin, Astrid and Felix. All three are preparing and describing Late Jurassic plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs 🤩🧪
Museumssamlinger har lært oss om livets og menneskenes historie, og blir enda viktigere i årene som kommer. Idag skriver jeg sammen med arkeolog Håkon Reiersen om disse unike forskningsdataene på @forskning.bsky.social 🦖🐬⚱️⛏️🧪 www.forskersonen.no/arkeologi-dy...
In this report, we detail the process undertaken for preparing and mounting a sperm whale skeleton (Physeter macrocephalus Husson & Holthuis, 1974) specimen for exhibition at the Natural History M...
