The absolutely mesmerising mounts of Gorgosaurus ('dreadful lizard'), a tyrannosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada, on display at the iconic Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Drumheller 🦖 #FossilFriday

Throwback to when the Alberta Badlands were covered in snow! ❄️🌲🦖 #throwbackthursday #badlands #hoodoos #dinosaurs #winter

🦖 A single, late-stage foetus has been described in detail within the right uterine horn of the early-diverging ichthyosaur Besanosaurus leptorhynchus. 🔍 The orientation of the fossilised remains suggests a tail-first birth took place! ➡️ Find out more: doi.org/10.3897/fr.29.183128

#Throwback to #CSVP2026 at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology! 🦈🐊🦖🦣🇨🇦 It was a pleasure to present my research on Late Triassic #ichthyosaurs from British Columbia, reconnect with friends and meet many new colleagues! 😎 Thanks to the organisers for putting together an excellent meeting!

New paper out now in @fr.pensoft.net! Together with @feikosaur.bsky.social and colleagues based in Germany and Italy, we describe the foetus of the Middle #Triassic #ichthyosaur Besanosaurus leptorhynchus from Monte San Giorgio 🇮🇹 with implications for ichthyosaur taxonomy and reproductive biology! 👇

In honor of this week's paper providing new anatomical support for a sister-group relationship between archosaurs and turtles, here's the delightfully weird jaw of the Triassic archosauromorph Trilophosaurus (UMMP VP 26419) #FossilFriday

The skull and neck of the early fish-shaped #ichthyosaur Macgowania from the Late Triassic (~220M years ago) of BC, Canada, examined during my recent visit to the Royal Tyrrell Museum as part of a research project with Dr Ilaria Paparella funded by MINIATURA 9 from @ncn.gov.pl #FossilFriday

Our paper on turtle origins is finally out in Current Biology, with two major implications for our understanding of reptile evolution 🐢 #Paleontology #Turtles #Evolution www.cell.com/current-biol...
