My girlfriend found this at the store today- a tissue box with stylized #paleoart of prehistoric, pre-Mesozoic sea creatures on it! Very unexpected- features anomalocaris, tremataspis, zenaspis, and dunkleosteus.

Synchrotron CT reveals a slew of gnathostome characters in a jawless fish. Time to rethink the jawless-to-jawed transition for the umpteenth time. Also a much appreciated update to osteostracan internal anatomy. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New palaeo-PhD opportunity! Will you be the one to figure out the anatomy and function of fossil jawless fish? Come join the team! Application Deadline August 22nd, funding for UK student only (sorry) www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

So we’re just supposed to share our world with these psychos who can bomb & kill anywhere and anytime they want. This is supposed to be our new normal. There is so much more death to come, and we are supposed to be okay with it, or even thankful for the slaughter.

Latest Devonian sagenodontid from Morocco. Further evidence that the Carboniferous-Permian lungfish assemblage (ctenodontids, conchopomatids, sagenodontids, gnathorhizids) all originated by the Hangenberg extinction rather than a single Carboniferous diversification peerj.com/articles/193...

Pleased to have played a small part in this paper, led by @aminff.bsky.social Amin El Fassi El Fehri, describing “A new origin of the ‘modern’ lungfish #dentition revealed by taxonomic overlap between #Devonian and #Carboniferous dipnoans” out today in @peerj.bsky.social 🦷🐟 peerj.com/articles/193...

Delighted to have the first paper of my PhD published today in @peerj.bsky.social on a wonderful lungfish tooth plate from Morocco 🐟🦷! With @draliceclement.bsky.social, @merlegreif.bsky.social, & colleagues. peerj.com/articles/193...

As my very first post here on Bluesky I am happy to share our article in Royal Society about tooth wear and diet in the large Devonian chondrichthyan Ctenacanthus concinnus from Morocco royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
