Taking another stab at the ol’ Bluesky on #nationalfossilday and reposting this in-progress reconstruction of Quetzalcoatlus lawsoni (which hadn’t been named yet last time I posted it.) Half the size of the famous Q. northopi, this is the only place you’ll see these National Park Service fossils.

It’s endlessly funny to me that invariably the IT department sends out phishing warnings and then right after HR sends an email soliciting personal account info that breaks all the rules from our IT training.

Here’s a post from my PBL (Pretty Big Library) for #MarbledMonday, an 1897 copy of T.H. Huxley’s “Methods and Results” which was previously housed at the State Lunatic Asylum, so in a way it never really changed hands. #libraries

Quetzalcoatlus is also my safe word

Barnes and Noble has no chill

Weird, prior to this week my last tweet here was exactly one year ago today. So here’s another look at this gigantic Alamosaurus pelvis that weighs roughly 2200 pounds.

I am pretty pleased with myself over this paint job on #MammothMonday #TexasFossils

Since Homotherium kittens are in the news, here’s a side by side size comparison of an adult jaw next to a juvenile jaw from Friesenhahn Cave #texasfossils #fossilfriday #kitten

Thinking back to simpler times just a few weeks ago, when I was bringing a giant fossil beaver replica named after a gas station on an airplane to the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting in Minneapolis. #texasfossils

It’s Sauropod Sunday so here is the ilium of Alamosaurus, a titanosaur discovered in Big Bend National Park.

Well that's new - American Chemical Society sent along a code for free membership to folks who reviewed for their PRF grants. Wish other orgs would offer free membership for reviewers...
