@GWRHelp Please send all awards, general riches, comfy furniture and promotions to Steve, the conductor on the current 17:23 Portsmouth Harbour to Cardiff Central train. Turning an otherwise rubbish day into a delightfully cheery journey! Sincere compliments.

Interested in dinosaur jaws? 🦖💀

New paper out now in @SciReports reconstructing oviraptorosaurian jaw muscle anatomy with @FionMaWS !

We estimate bite forces, and look at gape and cranial function in a variety of oviraptorids and Incisivosaurus...

Have you heard, about the bird?

[Field Palaeobiology Research Group @fieldpalaeo]

1/ STOKED to share our new study in @nature, unveiling the oldest-known modern bird fossil! https://t.co/idIc8Xbc1x. We name the new fossil Asteriornis, but have been affectionately calling it the Wonderchicken. @EarthSciCam @christs_college

This week our #TrilobiteTuesday spotlight is on Balizoma variolaris. Historically this trilobite was said to have a "strawberry like head" due to the shape of its nodular glabellar tubercles.

Very happy to share the first paper from my PhD with @ButlerLabBham looking at the fossil record of non-avian theropod dinosaurs 🦖 https://t.co/eiDYtlDgkq We conclude that their record is utterly amazing and there are no biases at all... 🤥

This #TrilobiteTuesday one of our fantastic volunteers has been busy photographing a range of Trilobite species from one of our most historic collections!

Today is a very special day as it marks three amazing years since the Museum re-opened to the public! Happy Third Birthday #Roary! A HUGE thanks to everyone who has supported the Museum during this time! #LapworthRocks @ace_national @HeritageFundWM @unibirmingham @ace_midlands

@Thomas_Clements @Euphanerops @LapworthMuseum For a group that's not a bore,
Simply take a phytosaur,
As compared to Smilosuchus,
Fish and squid are worse than useless.

Stibnite, also known as antimonite, is a sulphide mineral. This example has formed as a mass of bladed lead-grey coloured crystals. Ancient civilizations used this mineral as a metallic cosmetic! #MineralMonday #geology #LapworthRocks #HelloBrum @geology_bham

[Lapworth Museum of Geology @lapworthmuseum]

White Antimony, also known as Valentinite, is an oxide mineral. It has large radiating crystals giving a ‘star-like’ form. Compounds of this mineral are used in medicines, paints, plastics, rubber, and textiles. #MineralMonday #geology #LapworthRocks #HelloBrum @geology_bham

[Lapworth Museum of Geology @lapworthmuseum]

A beautiful example from the McLean Collection of small isolated patches of acicular and granular cinnabar clustered within baryte! #MineralMonday #MiningMonday #Mineralogy #geology #LapworthRocks #HelloBrum @geology_bham @unibirmingham @LES_UniBham
