Is cranial anatomy indicative of fossoriality? A case study of Hadrocodium wui suggests this Jurassic mammaliaform may have been semi-fossorial, resembling semi-aquatic moles more than fully fossorial ones. Skull ≠ digging. Tumelty & Lautenschlager: https://buff.ly/3CwUgtN #FossilFriday

New study evaluates bone microstructure of Triassic icon Prestosuchus chiniquensis, revealing growth patterns & proposing an ontogenetic model w/6 age classes. Study insights include histovariability, ontogeny & a possible new taxon! Brodsky de Farias et al.: doi.org/10.1002/ar.2...

A reminder (from the admittedly partial EiC) that @anatrecord.bsky.social regularly posts great paleo and evolutionary bio content! Follow us for updates on the latest science published in the journal.

Thrilled to share that one of my illustrations will once again be featured on the cover of a scientific journal! This time, it’s for the Journal of the Geological Survey of Brazil! Big thanks to my friend @leonardokerber.bsky.social for the invitation!

🦇Happy Halloween!🦇ICYMI, check out our Special Issue on Ecological morphology and sensory biology of bats: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/19328494...

ICYMI, this #FossilFriday check out our recent Special Issue, "The dawn of an Era: Comparative and functional anatomy of Triassic tetrapods": anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/19328494...

Cracking new paper from the Bristol #Palaeobiology Research Group shows the key mammalian (dentary-squamosal) jaw joint is not actually unique to #mammals, having evolved independently in #Triassic ictidosaur #cynodonts. #Palaeontology #Science #EvolutionaryBiology www.nature.com/articles/s41...

⛏️ Depois das enchentes no RS, pesquisadores do CAPPA-UFSM correm contra o tempo para salvar fósseis expostos pela erosão. Trabalhar em sítios molhados é difícil. A @alinemghilardi.bsky.social e o @cisneros.bsky.social me explicaram o que está em jogo p/ esta matéria: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
