I’m delighted to share that the third chapter of my PhD has just been published! 🥳 In this study, we describe a new giant radiodont from the Fezouata Biota in Morocco. The publication also features an incredible reconstruction by @alekstreb.bsky.social. Available here: www.app.pan.pl/article/item...
