Bonus post, look at the little guy!

I am proud and grateful to present a dream project today in @Nature! https://t.co/6P8mkNp1gZ

Meet #Mirasaura grauvogeli, a #wonderreptilewith skin appendages that rival feathers and hairs, challenging our view of reptile #evolution🪶🦎

[Dr Orla Bath Enright @BathEnright]

#Mirasaura brought me home to #Ireland during this work, where I could show my 92-year-old grandad these exceptionally preserved fossils. To which he replied, "It's just wonderful to see something older than me and age so well"

He couldn't be more right. ☘️ #FossilPreservation

🚨 So excited to finally share an incredible discovery from the #Triassic, Grès à Voltzia! Our international team, led by @StephanSpiekman and published today @Nature reveals a new reptile, #Mirasaura grauvogeli, donning an elaborate crest 🦎🔬✨ https://t.co/DY0fDuydVm

[Dr Orla Bath Enright @BathEnright]

Our analyses detected #melanosomes within the crest's soft tissues. These resemble those in modern feathers more than those in reptilian skin or mammalian hair. Suggesting the crest of #Mirasaura may have been pigmented and displayed visually🌈 @MariaMcN_palaeo @_Tiffany_Slater

Interested in invertebrate palaeobiology, 3D data and telling evolutionary time? If so, I am offering three PhD projects this year!
