@mollytumelty.bsky.social with her undergrad Brum research on fish (now she's studying ichthyosaurs in Edinburgh)!

Finally handed in my MSci dissertation!! The project used CT scanning to redescribe a Carboniferous ray-finned fish🐟

An interesting change from reconstructing dinosaurs and other terrestrial animals... My digital restoration and reconstruction of the cyathaspid heterostracan Anglaspis heintzi from our new paper (see below). #FossilFish #DigitalReconstruction #Palaeontology

Sick day attending the BIFoR sustainability and climate change education forum and visiting BIFoR FACE!

Many theropods shortened their arms and lost fingers. How did they do it? Our Edinburgh student Milly Mead, in her first paper, looks into oviraptorosaurs. Arm shortening and finger loss were decoupled! @funstonpaleo.bsky.social & I are proud supervisors! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

New therizinosaur fossils are always exciting. But this one is particularly weird/cool having only two fingers! Some comments from me on this new find in National Geographic www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...

Back in Black. Ever wondered what colour mammals were in the time of dinosaurs? Well a sample of six #MesozoicMammals suggests they were *drum roll* all dark brown/black. The original goths, I love 'em more than ever. Congrats to the authors! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
