This blurb leaves out the most significant finding: at least 193 species where the whole German fauna of Ceraphronoidea was only known to comprise 36 species. Entomologists consider Europe to be 'well-known'. But, even there, in the darker corners of insect diversity, countless new species lurk.

Gesucht zum nächstmöglichen Zeitpunkt: Ausstellungskurator*in (m/w/d). E 13 TV-L, zunächst befristet auf drei Jahre mit der Option auf eine dauerhafte Übernahme Bewerbungsfrist: 19.10.2025 ➡️ https://t1p.de/smj6o #Job #Jobs #JobAd #Stellen #Kulturjobs #Museumsjobs #Stellenangebot #Stuttgart

Mirasaura has met with great interest. We have compiled a few articles and reports here! The German main news program Tagesschau visited @stephanspiekman.bsky.social in the museum: www.tagesschau.de/wissen/forsc...

#Mirasaura provides the first fossil evidence that such integumentary structures actually formed in early reptiles - distantly related to dinosaurs or birds. This pushes back the origin of these traits! #Evolution #FossilPreservation

Analyses with @ucc.ie detected melanosomes within the crest's soft tissues. These resemble those in modern feathers more than those in reptilian skin or mammalian hair. This suggests the crest of #Mirasaura may have been pigmented and displayed visually 🌈 #FossilMelanosomes @she-paleo.bsky.social

This impressive crest of #Mirasaura had densely overlapping individual appendages with feather-like contours. But our work shows these are unlike true feathers and indicate an independent evolutionary origin 🦎🪶

Starting in 1935, #Mirasaura was excavated in Alsace, France by renowned private collector Louis #Grauvogel, after whom the species is named. Following the transfer of the Grauvogel collection to the @smnstuttgart.bsky.social, further preparation of one fossil created a true 'wow' moment.

Also, here is a video of me by @smnstuttgart.bsky.social explaining more about Mirasaura! youtu.be/6RcsTRDNY6A

Check out @stephanspiekman.bsky.social's thread to learn more about #Mirasaura!
