The yearly round-up of #temnospondyl research from the past year for the first #FossilFriday post of the year: once again, a lot of stuff on European taxa but also a great mix of researchers involved in all sorts of interesting work! 🧵👇 (1/25ish?) #temnospondyls #fossils #histology #anatomy

#temnovember2025 day 25 :Buettnererpeton Day 25 and now its time for #Buettnererpeton, a thin skull #metoposaur from the late #Triassic of northamerica #Paleoart #sciart #amphibian #temnospondyl #metoposaurus

New paper out today in @zoojlinnsoc.bsky.social for #FossilFriday AKA here's-Bryan's-one-paleo-paper-this-year-to-remind-people-I-still-do-paleo-sometimes: a revision of the #Permian #dissorophid #temnospondyl Aspidosaurus chiton based on a new specimen: doi.org/10.1093/zool... (1/n)

Elon Musk: pours tens of millions into a race that has never seen even a fraction of that much money. bribes multiple voters with $1 million checks to vote. offers any Wisconsin voter who proves they voted $50. wears a fucking cheesehead Wisconsin: votes against his candidate by historic margins

New publication! My first dissertation chapter is now published in @plosone.org with @paleobadger.bsky.social, @calamanderso.bsky.social, Hannah Miller, Max Deckman, and Brandon Price. Any images not credited below are from this paper. doi.org/10.1371/jour... @uwmadscience.bsky.social 1/16

A pretty solid couple of days for publishing some of my dissertation work! 🦎Our description of Milleropsis pricei, a late Permian reptile from South Africa, is out! 🚨Rethink what you know about 'parareptiles'🚨 Link here: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

I am incredibly excited to share our new Open Access publication in the @zoojlinnsoc.bsky.social that was released today. Please welcome *Ahvaytum bahndooiveche*, a new species of sauropodomorph(?) dinosaur from the Popo Agie Formation, WY, USA. tinyurl.com/3zx7s3mx (1/x)

Our anatomical description of Hapsidopareion is out in Papers in Palaeontology! Thanks to collaborators and mentors @gondwannabe.bsky.social, Arjan Mann, and @hanssues.bsky.social and ISU undergraduate coauthors for their massive help with segmentation! 😄https://doi.org/10.1002/spp2.1610

Sneak Peek Tomorrow. New Paper. New Taxon. New illustration Stay tuned #paleoart #sciart #paleontology

For the first #FossilFriday of 2025, here's my annual thread looking back on the #temnospondyl research that came out last year! In general, papers were skewed towards anatomical descriptions of specifically European taxa that were predominantly from Triassic deposits. 🧵👇 (1/30ish)

A nice figure of another junior synonym of Anaschisma browni, "Koskinonodon princeps" from the Popo Agie Fm of Wyoming for #FossilFriday. For some reason, a chunk that could be reattached on the margin of the left orbit was left out and substituted with some filler @akufner.bsky.social & Gee, 2021

Contra the latest crap paper from Lucas & co., MU 537 from Wyoming is not the holotype of this taxon but rather of "Koskinonodon princeps," which they would know if they had read, and heaven forbid, cited, @akufner.bsky.social & Gee (2021): doi.org/10.1080/0272...

Last week saw the description of a REALLY cool burrowing temnospondyl from Late Triassic North America called Ninumbeehan dookoodukah I was lucky enough to be commissioned to illustrate this amazing species in a triptych showing it in its environment across season
