@DoubleBeam @DrJMcHugh Thanks Cary! I want to add a major shout-out to @RyanSteiskalArt for the beautiful line drawings and reconstructions! Check out his other work!

@Joshua_Malone @BLMNational And we are here now! We will be working at the Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry to collect more data on the paleoecology and stratigraphy of #JNM for most of June!

@ohyeahfranzi Always "mom/dad" unless joking/needing to get their attention. That said, I'm now forced to consider how I would feel if my kids used my name.
Yep.
Immediate cringe.

@histo_holly I was always interested in movie monsters and dinosaurs, but that iconic Brachiosaurus scene at the beginning of Jurassic Park sealed the deal.

Based on the rapt attention of the audience during @heatherfsmith's talk, @AnatRecord made an excellent choice of new editor-in-chief!

@DoubleBeam @DiprotoRon Could have been sick from a variety of causes. Or maybe just got stuck? Looks pretty mired in.

[Joseph Peterson @JPTaphonomy]

@DoubleBeam @DiprotoRon Could be. Hard to tell from the photos, but any idea roughly how old the cow was?

@Laelaps FWIW I think "transition" is quite beautiful. Do people ever stop transitioning in one way or another?
