Thrilled to share our work is on the cover of Science Advances! From finding the fossil with my father in 2021 to countless hours across synchrotrons worldwide. Huge thanks to Jochen Brocks, Nathaly Archilha, Miguel Basei, and @invertebratepal.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Time for a long-overdue post—I've got lots to share lately! Let’s start with a 🚨paper alert 🚨: a great project on the Ediacaran tubicolous taxon Corumbella, masterfully led by @beckerkerber.bsky.social (🙏 thanks Bruno!). Takeaway: this tube was single-layered and round. doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

Missed #FossilFriday, but here's my late contribution! Meet Cloudina, one of my favorite Ediacaran fossils. These tubular creatures were among the first to produce mineralized skeletons. The top image is a composite from multispectral imaging.

Lets share some science! @harvardoeb.bsky.social Marc Mapalo uses limb patterning genes to understand the evolution of tardigrade legs... turns out tardigrade legs have a predominant distal identity relative to those of arthropods & onychophorans 🤯 evodevojournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
