I’m happy to share that the third chapter of my PhD has just been published! 🥳 In this study, we describe a new giant radiodont from the Fezouata Biota in Morocco. The publication features an incredible reconstruction by @alextrebaol

🦐Instantaneous burial capturing animals alive may not be prerequisite for exceptional marine animal preservation and fossilization.

1/5. It was a very nice time during the last 2 intense months. It started with a very nice @ThePalAss annual meeting at which I presented a poster about our recently published work with @PGueriau and @cambriancritter.

[ANOM Lab @AnomLab]

Also congratulations to @LorenzoLustri and @ISTE_UNIL for winning the best palaeontology presentation award, shared with Gregor from @UZH_en! 🏆

🚨📄 Paper Alert 📄🚨

Our new paper about the early developmental stages of a 480 million years old arthropod from Morocco is out!

We used synchrotron X-ray microtomography to see details of these ~ 2 mm long babies.

Details in 🧵👇 1/7

[Dr. Joe Moysiuk @CambroJoe]

Fossil evidence of arthropod moulting is popular these days! Fascinating work by @harrietdrage, David Legg, and @cambriancritter, with compelling evidence for a suture in a marrellid. Intriguing how different it is from moulting in Marrella from the #BurgessShale ...

Permian-Triassic Meeting in Lausanne wrapping up today with a touch of Swiss Geology! 🏞️ @ISTE_UNIL

[Pierre Gueriau @PGueriau]

🦐❌ 🪱✅ In a paper published today in @RSocPublishing Biology Letters, @Cambriannelids, N. Rabet and myself reveal using μCT scanning that the Lower Devonian animal Gilsonicaris is a polychaete annelid and not an anostracan crustacean or even an arthropod

🚨🚨 Paper alert! I am happy to share my new paper with @PGueriau and @cambriancritter 🥳. The paper talks about the suspension-feeding radiodonts from the Fezouata Shale 🇲🇦. Spoiler: Aegirocassis was not alone. Check out the link if you want more details

I am excited to start my 6 months internship in #cyclostratigraphy at @GeorgeMasonU supported by a @fns_ch mobility grant. @AnomLab

[Dr Harrie Drage @harrietdrage]

So so excited to be running a workshop on trilobite ecology and dispersal with the excellent Stephen Pates and plenty of amazing collaborators! Huge thanks to the @PaleoSynth project and the folks at FAU for this! 🦀

[Dr Harrie Drage @harrietdrage]

Scientific academic publishing is systemically flawed, but there are better ways! Myself and @ThomasHearing published a preprint on a new prospective publishing model for #palaeontology.
Get in touch if you're interested in collaborating on #OpenScience!
