Introducing Latenivenatrix mcmasterae, new Troodontid from the DPF published in @CanJEarthSci this morning! Sorry Troodon formosus #invalid

@kmjet300 @Tablesalt13 Learn statistics. Are you seriously Trumpy enough to blame a loss on “stealing” it?

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

@AdlerJoelle @Tablesalt13 Seriously? You do know that statistics is a thing right? You can predict a win for any party based on the statistics for ridings east of BC. It’s kinda simple math.

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

@MtbSheppy @levi20802 @Tablesalt13 No, because they understand how Statistics works. Perhaps you should read up on the subject a little more, and not just immediately jump to conspiracy theories.

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

@PeteHegseth You are what happens when standards are ignored.

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

@Tablesalt13 Again, you need to read more. 1), 30% isn’t nearly enough to leave. 2) Even if they do, half the land doesn’t actually belong to the Provinces, only maintained by them. 3) nearly the entirety of Alberta and Sask. is treaty land. The 1st nations won’t agree to it.

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

@JackMeseyton @Tablesalt13 Doesn’t matter, he doesn’t need to be. That’s not how someone becomes elected in Canada as PM. The leader of the party with the most seats in the House of Commons becomes the PM. Members of the Liberal Party voted for him to be leader of the party. Plain and simple.

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

@Tablesalt13 That would be great thanks, and while you’re getting those citations, you can read a little more. You’ll learn something about the world outside your petty little sphere.

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

@Tablesalt13 No, you are attempting state a fact, and failing. A critique would be a discussion about the Canadian electoral process and using facts to indicate how you feel that the system is dysfunctional and could be improved. That is a critique. Again, go read a book.

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

Two holes 3 m apart!…

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

Does anyone have a suggestion as to which taxon these small ribs belong?

It blows my mind that more time elapsed BETWEEN the painting of these ice age horses [LEFT: Chauvet cave >33,000 years ago and RIGHT: Niaux cave ~15,000 years ago] than has passed since the Niaux cave art and now! #IceAgeArt 🎨🐴❄️❄️

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

@ChaseBrownstein @EL_Bamforth @RyanMcKellar9 @evodevoeco @royalsaskmuseum @usask Yeah, for sure. It’s back at camp (collected yesterday) we will dig it out of the specimen box and send some images this evening.

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

@PeteMakovicky After a week of dust baths I probably smell worse on the outside than the inside! Haha.

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

Working at the ceratopsid bonebed and we are starting to get hit by 60 km/h winds which is stirring up a dust storm. There should be a lake in the first photo. Thankfully I thought of a solution after a windy day out here a couple weeks ago.

Listen as @BadLipReading gives me, not only a chance to dub Harrison, but more lines than I had in the actual film.

Just collected from our ceratopsid bonebed by our local volunteer Carey, a beautiful (although still muddy) small ceratopsid phalanx! Great site to be part of excavating. Working with @EL_Bamforth, @RyanMcKellar9, @evodevoeco, @royalsaskmuseum, @usask

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

Juvenile tyrannosaur premaxillary tooth!!

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

Rib fragment in the our ceratopsid bonebed. A peculiar vertical orientation with Cretaceous in situ fracturing and bending... maybe stepped on 76 mya? Working with the awesome @EL_Bamforth, @RyanMcKellar9, @evodevoeco, @royalsaskmuseum, and @usask! (Glue shows horizontal)

[Aaron van der Reest @AaronVDReest]

First dromaeosaur tooth in the bonebed! What a beauty!! Hope we find more, better yet, troodontid next! With @EL_Bamforth, @RyanMcKellar9, @evodevoeco, @royalsaskmuseum, and @usask.
