Just submitted three abstracts for the 12th European #Palaeobotany and Palynology Congress! :) All of them present novelties from the #Miocene and #Pleistocene of Madeira Island, Portugal.

🌋🌋🌋🌋🌲🌳🌲🌳 My newest paper! A small contribution to the #Tenerife and #Canary Islands #fossil record, this time focusing on #lava tree moulds, plant fossils that are often neglected in #Macaronesia. Open acess in @historicalbiology.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1080/0891...

Exceptional anatomical preservation of Jurassic Austrohamia leaves from #Patagonia reveals distinctive features of ancient #Cupressaceae New #AJB research by Sebastian Molano, Giovanni Nunes, Ignacio Escapa, Josefina Bodnar et all. doi.org/10.1002/ajb2... #botany #plantscience #fossil #paleobotany

Formations are upper or lower (or Upper or Lower), not early or late (or Early or Late). -Herrerasaurus lived in the Late Triassic -Herrerasaurus fossils come from the Upper Triassic Ischigualasto Formation

A new lobed leaf with affinities with the Austrobaileyales from the Early Cretaceous of China. Good to see our predictions based on Mesodescolea from the Early Cretaceous of Argentina coming true! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I'm at the Paläontologisches Museum München this week, working on some long-overdue projects 🙃 They have cool #fossils in the exhibit hall but this is my favorite: a giant slice from the trunk of a redwood #tree (Sequoia sp. ) that was growing in the US ~16 million years ago. 🌲⛏️ #paleobotany

This is why, during my master’s program, I decided to use a personal Gmail account as my main professional email, which I still use today. www.science.org/content/arti...

The Palaeontological Association has written to the President of the University of Leicester, requesting that the concerns of the PhD community over the planned redundancy of their supervisors are addressed. [1/3]

What to learn more about the enigmatic organism Prototaxites?? Have a read of our new Quick Guide in @currentbiology.bsky.social It includes another great palaeo-reconstruction of the Rhynie ecosystem from @matt-humpage.bsky.social

"very slow science"

Dear all, does anyone have further information on the XII European Palaeobotany and Palynology Conference (e.g., the website, second circular, etc.)? Thanks!

Really cool study!

A piece of Glossopteris leaf from the late Permian of Antarctica ~260 million years old 🌳⛏️. Broken but showing nice detail of the veination. Glossopterids are seed plants that were found on all of today's southern continents during the Permian. Happy #FossilFriday! #paleobotany #botany

Thrilled to announce that I’ve just become Associate Editor of Historical Biology journal @historicalbiology.bsky.social! :) #Palaeobotany #oceanicisland

A 95 million year old angiosperm leaf preserved as an impression in an iron-cemented sandstone. The original leaf may have gone, but you can still see where invertebrates nibbled it. From Dakota Formation, Kansas. Cenomanian, probably. #FossilFriday ⚒🌏🔬🌱🍃🌳

I'm finally here, and I'm still working in palaeobotany. Here is a unpublished mummified leaf from the Neogene of Madeira Island. :)
