A wind storm *destroyed* our shade tarp setup and made me end the broadcast early, and now I've got a clip of it 💨 Enjoy 💨 www.twitch.tv/paleontologi...

I can't watch this because I'm out in the desert, digging dinosaurs again for two weeks but YOU should watch it and tell me how good it is! www.thetimes.com/culture/tv-r...

MORE CRETACEOUS FIELDWORK! I'm back out in the Cedar Mountain Formation with @prehistoricmuseum.bsky.social, digging up dozens of ankylosaurs and streaming each day at 1pm Pacific Tune in @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing to see what we're finding and ask some questions!

I need some new tent stakes for this upcoming round of fieldwork, because the hard Wyoming ground really messed 'em up. Just LOOK at this one

We've got another paleoartist on here now! Tyler just joined Bluesky and his work is quite impressive. Give him a follow!

This is bad news overall, and I worry about its impact on paleontological fieldwork in the region. www.hcn.org/articles/dec...

Not too shabby today 🐋 Animal #778 🐻‍❄️ I figured it out in 5 guesses! 🟧🟨🟩🟩🟩 🔥 1 | Avg. Guesses: 5.6 metazooa.com #metazooa

It's our last #Twitch stream until I'm out in the field again this weekend! We're discussing a new fossil genus of leatherback turtle (Ueloca colemanorum!) plus the results of dinosaur extinction on Paleocene landscapes, and a sneak peek of upcoming fieldwork Join us @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing

We've got another BRAND-NEW DINOSAUR to discuss on #Twitch today -- Cariocecus bocagei -- and we'll be interviewing the lead author on the paper (@fbertpaleo.bsky.social) to get the inside scoop on what makes this new iguanodont so special. Join us at twitch.tv/paleontologizing to watch & chat!

Today new publication has been released in @journalsystpal.bsky.social We are proud to present you Cariocecus bocagei, a new hadrosauroid from the Papo Seco Formation (Barremian, Early K) of Portugal. Come with me in this post series to learn more about it! 1/x

I was trying to come up with a memorable analogy for the size of leatherback turtles, so I decided to google "weights of different Harley Davidson motorcycles" This the summary Google provided. How do they manage to keep getting things *this* wrong?

Succulents are cool because they're harder to kill than other houseplants (yay for me) but did you know some of them glow in the dark??!!! Friday nights are the best place for fascinating new studies and paper reviews over at twitch.tv/sciants_streams 😁

Here's a dinosaur trace for this week's #FossilFriday — a footprint of a large 'carnosaur' (likely a carcharodontosaur) at the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Track Site outside of Moab, Utah. This is easily one of the most impressive dinosaur track sites in the world, and it honestly needs more protection

We've got another newly-published dinosaur genus (Newtonsaurus!) to discuss today -- but how 'new' is it? Plus there's that possible Judith River Formation deinocheirid, and some updates on OPERATION: LEATHERBACK! There's Thursday BIRDSday later too, so join us at twitch.tv/paleontologizing

Today's was *not* easy (weird clade!) but I got it 🦊 Animal #772 🦒 I figured it out in 6 guesses! 🟥🟥🟥🟥🟧🟩 🔥 1 | Avg. Guesses: 5.6 metazooa.com #metazooa

There's SO MUCH #paleontology news to cover today -- new coelacanth species, new insights into shark evolution, new ancestral lizards, new Solnhofen pterosaur fossils, and even a new fossil sea turtle! Join us to discuss @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing

"Trust is built through understanding, empathy, and dialogue—by connecting with people where they are and inviting them into the conversation" As somebody who does science outreach full-time, I agree with this 100% ⬇ This is an important piece, and I hope people read it ⬇

Not too shabby today 😏 Let's see if we can get that average even lower 💪🏽 🐞 Animal #770 🦩 I figured it out in 4 guesses! 🟧🟧🟩🟩 🔥 1 | Avg. Guesses: 5.6 metazooa.com #metazooa

It's a special #MammalMonday here on Paleontologizing! We'll be talkin' all about marsupials today, in celebration of a new paper just published by a longtime viewer on new species in the genus Bettongia (the bettongs!) We might even do an interview 🎙 Join us at twitch.tv/paleontologizing

For this week's #FossilFriday, here's a *gorgeous* tooth from our new species of iguanodont dinosaur in the Cedar Mountain Formation, Grand County, Utah. This beastie will help clarify the early evolution of iguanodontids, so I'm quite excited for it to (eventually) get published!

It's Thursday BIRDSday again, and we'll be talking about giant Paleogene penguins, Protoceratops diet shift through ontogeny, and other new paleontological publications, LIVE on #Twitch Join us now at twitch.tv/paleontologizing

We're gonna be chatting all about the joys and sorrows of publishing in science with @rhacodactylus.bsky.social and @sciantsmedia.com on today's stream -- but first, we're discussing new publications on Silurian horseshoe crabs, sauropod bone disease, and more! Join us at twitch.tv/paleontologizing

We're talkin' early animal evolution, sea jellies, and LEATHERBACK TURTLES on today's #Twitch stream, along with all kinds of #paleontology Q&A -- and later in the broadcast, we're assembling a 1-meter-wide leatherback turtle 3D-printed model. Join us at twitch.tv/paleontologizing

Piece by piece, my leatherback turtle is coming together! At this rate it should be all printed and ready to glue together on stream next week 💪🏽

More of our new iguanodontid for #FossilFriday — this time wrapped up in a field jacket. @renpoole.bsky.social is leading the charge on studying and publishing this critter, and with bones from maybe a dozen individuals so far of varying sizes, we should have a pretty decent idea of its anatomy

We're talking all about DEINONYCHUS on the 60th anniversary of its discovery! Join us to learn about how this dinosaur helped spark the 'Dinosaur Renaissance,' changing the way scientists (and the public!) think about dinosaurs forevermore Join us now @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing

Happy Deinonychus Discovery Day! On August 28 1965, John Ostrom's team found a small, lithe, birdlike theropod which would forever change the way the world views dinosaurs — and it would even be immortalized as the "Velociraptor" of Jurassic Park

We're about to discuss SPICOMELLUS, the incredibly weird armored dinosaur from Morocco who's just had a new paper puplished on it -- and we'll be doing our usual #paleontology viewer Q&A as well. Tune in and join us at twitch.tv/paleontologizing

OPERATION: LEATHERBACK begins! For the next several months we'll be doing the occasional special #Twitch stream devoted to leatherback turtle conservation and research -- and today we're kicking that off by assembling a life-sized 3D-printed skull of Archelon Join us at twitch.tv/paleontologizing

Museums play a fundamental role in preserving cultural and natural history. They also educate the public, enrich our lives with knowledge, and inspire us to build a better future. The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see 🧪

It's a FOSSIL NEWS stream today! We're covering that new iguanodont (Istiorachis!) and talking about how the 'sail-backed' bodyplan is less rare than most folks realize, as well as the functional morph of brachiosaur tails & how microbial mats preserved dinosaur tracks twitch.tv/paleontologizing

Apparently Massachusetts is accepting ideas for a new state flag and seal, with submissions viewable here: www.mass.gov/doc/massachu... However, I already see a clear winner

Happy #FossilFriday ! This image is to celebrate the (almost) 25th anniversary of when the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting was in Bozeman, MT in 2001. My (then) young son Darwin's first SVP, here posed under the foot of MOR 555, the T. rex "Big Mike".

Happy Thursday BIRDSday! We're currently chatting about how natural selection drives evolution, how paleontologists reconstruct extinct organisms, and then we'll be getting into the dinosaurian evolution of birds. You can join the discussion at twitch.tv/paleontologizing

SO excited for this year's @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social meeting! Come find my poster to learn how livestream broadcasts from the field can educate and inspire the public -- and even help fund paleontological research and fieldwork 💪🏽 #SVP2025

We're LIVE with another #paleontology #Twitch stream! Join us for science Q&A, discussion of natural history, and so much more. Everybody's welcome! twitch.tv/paleontologizing

Scientists' exodus from Twitter to Bluesky was one of the things we talked about on my stream yesterday -- so it's nice to see we have data now to back up those anecdotes

We're chatting about armored dinosaurs (GASTONIA!), osteohistology, sediment deposition and erosion (goodbye, Louisiana 😢) and all kinds of #paleontology and #naturalhistory topics. Join the chat LIVE on #Twitch @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing

Look what just arrived in the mail! Thank you to @paleojim.bsky.social for the recommendation — this should be quite useful for when I'm digging up some polacanthines in Utah next month 👍🏽

For this week's #FossilFriday, here's what @paleojim.bsky.social calls "probably the oldest single piece of evidence for an ornithischian dinosaur in North America" — a Triassic(?) Anomoepus-like track in Grand County, Utah

It's a casual evolution-of-birds-from-dinosaurs stream today, so tune in now to twitch.tv/paleontologizing for fossil science camaraderie, discussion of avian origins, viewer Q&A, and occasional interruptions of the feline variety

It's a Fossil News stream today! Join us now at twitch.tv/palentologizing as we discuss that weird new drepanosaur critter (Mirasaura!) plus the new dromaeosaur trackway and the infuriating Ceratosaurus auction -- plus whatever you'd like to talk about. Let's catch up on news we missed this summer!

"Science should not be for sale" — I wholeheartedly agree! We'll talk about *why* on stream today (as well as some additional bits of fossil science news we missed while I was out in the field) at twitch.tv/paleontologizing

We've got FOUR newly-published dinosaurs to cover today — Pulaosaurus, Tongnanlong, Wudingloong, and Shri rapax — all of which were announced while I was out in the field. Tune in now to discuss them @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing

I'm back in civilization, and back to office streams! Today we're doing a lil' recap of the summer's fieldwork, and then discussing what we'll be doing for the next few months. Join us for LIVE paleontology chat and camaraderie @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing

The fun thing about paleontology is it isn’t a specific job. Sure, you need a PhD to be a professor or a curator at a big museum. But there are jobs in preparation, museum outreach/education, government, collection management, freelance writing/art, etc. that don’t. And those jobs are all paleo.

Got the quarry all finished out for the season! Three weeks, ~20 livestreams, dozens of iguanodont bones (new species!) and plenty more material surely still in the ground. Cross your fingers we have the funding to return next year for more!

Well, the flipping iguanodont limb-bone log jam jacket went well, but Ethan's progress in lightening the block has been slowed by a surprise hipbone, ilia well below the leg bones. @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social @paleontologizing.bsky.social @jeremybroberts.bsky.social @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social

Tune in right now to see us excavate this new iguanodont LIVE @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing

Exciting discoveries being made in the quarry! We've got just a few more days to dig here
