Probably my favorite email I’ve ever sent a student. Shoutout to @DigFieldSchool for providing the opportunity to bring discovery into the classroom.

…and @lukenweaver & @thereal_dlarson for the quick confirmations! #fossil #paleontology #teachers

India Field Update! In Nagpur enjoying Holi festival, having just finished 2nd leg of our season near Jabalpur, MP. The first Indian dinosaurs ever reported (1828) are from the MP site Bara Simla. The site remains important, but we were in MP to visit a site we found in 2019.🧵

A team of @DigFieldSchool teachers, @HZMFulghum @TheLiekeze picked up where @KelsieAbrams3 and the rest of the Burke crew left off to winter jacket the Flyby Trike(s) and get it ready for the excavator.

UW paleontologists and students have unearthed significant dinosaur fossils — including a possible new species — in the Montana badlands.
"This is dino country," says Greg Wilson Mantilla, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the @burkemuseum.

DIG director Dr. Greg Wilson Mantilla, DIG instructor Brody Hovatter, and colleagues have a new paper out! New stem primate fossils from the Hell Creek Study Area!

[Greg Wilson Mantilla @gpwilson11]

Really happy to see this paper out https://t.co/LpBreVjxFs It is dedicated to our co-author and my late PhD advisor Prof. Bill Clemens of @ucmpberkeley. His fundamental contributions to early mammalian paleontology and the KPg mass extinction and recovery cannot be overstated.
