Been a cat mom for over a month now and it's the best decision I've ever made. 🥰

I am proud and grateful to present a dream project today in @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... Meet #Mirasaura grauvogeli, a #wonderreptilewith skin appendages that rival feathers and hairs, challenging our view of reptile #evolution🪶🦎

Thrilled to see this (so much fun) project published! 😊🐊 doi.org/10.1017/S001...

Had the pleasure of visiting the @smnstuttgart.bsky.social and getting an awesome tour of part of their collection from the amazing @michela-johnson.bsky.social — thanks so much, Michela! 📸 Holotype of the extinct crocodyliform Machimosaurus buffetauti Young et al., 2014 #paleontology #FossilFriday

Coo at the snappy (extinct) doggo and boop the tiny snoot for #WorldCrocodileDay - so happy that I get to work on these animals!!

Happy International Day of Women & Girls in Science! 👩‍🔬 Stay curious - whether it's on rocks⛰️, plants🌱, animals 🐋🐘🐊🐧🐠, fossils🦖, maths📟, stars🌠🔭, or much more!! #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience #herps #paleontology

This one took a while, but it's finally out! Our re-description of the most common & iconic teleosauroid 🐊 Macrospondylus bollensis, along with it's enigmatic holotype. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

PhD position alert: join a diverse team of palaeontologists to study the evolution of temnospondyls! The PhD project @smnstuttgart.bsky.social will focus on bone microanatomy: lots of fun with thin-sections and CT in perspective. Whoever you are: don't hesitate to reach out! tinyurl.com/msvntnd9

A juvenile Macrospondylus for #FossilFriday - some exciting data collection coming from this fella soon! 🐊

Supermassive new paper (162 pages!) led by Dr Isaure Scavezzoni on the pectoral girdle anatomy of thalattosuchian and dyrosaurid crocodylomorphs, highlighting the enormous amount of information in croc postcranial skeletons! @michela-johnson.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...

A fantastic opportunity to work on some very cool fossils with an incredible team, in an amazing & vibrant city! Apply, apply, apply!

Made it to the other side - hi Bluesky, I'm a paleontologist working on ecology, growth and morphology (among other things) of Jurassic fossil marine crocs and their living "relatives"! Why not celebrate with photos of some of the awesome animals I work on?
