Our understanding of the dinosaurs at the very end of the Cretaceous is limited by few localities. What dinosaur biogeographic patterns were present leading up the K/Pg boundary? What can these tell us about end Cretaceous dinosaur communities

Excited to share the results of collaborative research in the San Juan Basin in New Mexico published today in
@science.org
that provides new age constraints for the Naashobito dinosaurs from New Mexico, like the giant sauropod, Alamosaurus:

Check out our new paper, led by former postdoc and current colleague Daniel Green on 18 Ma proteins in fossil teeth! Tim Cleland, a proteomics wizard, did the measurements. What's the take home? We hope to use protein fingerprints to study mammal and hominin phylogenetics!

Eighteen million years of diverse enamel proteomes from the East African Rift - Nature
The isolation of dental proteins from fossils deposited 1.5 million to 18 million years ago in the Turkana Basin in Kenya, a tropical region, demonstrate the promise of dental enamel for palaeoproteom...

Early apes lived in a constantly changing world of fire and ash
Apes lived in this changing environment, which helped shape their evolution.Their behavior and diet were influenced by the landscape.
