A long overdue visit to the Queen of Palaeontology this weekend! The detail on the MaryAnningRocks statue is truly breathtaking 👩🏻‍🔬🪨

A rather fun spot. The Nervous Rex sketch, which is featured in The Making of #JurassicPark book, is also on a palaeontology review cutout behind John Hammond in the film.

Here it is: my first ever op-ed for Undark Magazine in which I discuss the ethical and legal challenges surrounding research on #fossils from #Crimea and how publishers and scientists should confront them. Palaeontology needs a robust system of provenance declarations.

Reminder 👉 April 29 2024 - 11h International seminar PALEVOPRIM Julien Benoit (Associate Professor in Palaeontology) Wits University 'Paleoneurological Diversity of Therapsids (Synapsida) from the Permian and Triassic' palevoprim.labo.univ-poitiers.fr/wp-content/upl… Université de Poitiers CNRS Centre Limousin Poitou Charente

The first piece they played was Jurassic Park and the second piece Time. Couldn’t be more perfect in a geology palaeontology museum! I had high expectation of the acoustics but they totally exceeded my expectation! Thanks to all who worked late to make the dream happen!

The largest theropod (potentially)was discovered in Brazil, the largest marine reptile was also described this year , followed by (potentially) the longest snake to ever exist and now this ?
This has been one of the best years for palaeontology nerds

Delighted to share that I've been appointed as a Handling Editor for Palaeontology/Papers in Palaeontology! Honored to join the editorial team of such esteemed journals.

'A new ancient species of snake dubbed Vasuki Indicus, which lived around 47 million years ago in the state of Gujarat in India, may have been one of the largest snakes to have ever lived, suggests new research'.

Our take on neuron count estimates in vertebrate palaeontology and how (not) to deal with them is finally out - have a look!

Nice surprise that our paper investigating archosauromorph skull sizes was one of the top cited papers in Palaeontology over the last few years! 🦖🦕🐊

Another great example of ancient knowledge of palaeontology, have a geoconservation manuscript under review on this with Sally Hurst and LLUNE and other colleagues.

I still find it crazy that I've been writing on my #palaeontology website for about 7 years now. Progress is progress no matter how small.

If you told 18 year old me, having failed biology at A level, that I’d be receiving an award for my palaeontology research from the Royal Society of Biology i would’ve laughed in your face. Anyways, I’m at the House of Commons for the ceremony! 😃🦕🦖

This cobblestone street is unlike any other, because it's actually the scales of the Jurassic fish genus Furo!

For #ThrowbackThursday we journey to a time ~10,000 years ago when our ancestors hunted with these flint arrowheads!
