1/13 🚨🚨 I am so excited to present our new paper, six years in the making. Here, we provide the first strong evidence that there is a molecular mechanism behind the origins of living fossil lineages! #biology #science #paleontology https://t.co/8wW3DVXD1P

The first image is a splendid illustration by the talented artist @SerpenIllus. Long ago off the west coast of South America, during the Neogene Period. A few penguins are swimming along some Odobenocetops searching for food, while in the background is a juvenile Otodus megalodon

Thoroughly enjoyed presenting a small part of my PhD research on pygmy right whale baleen isotopes at the UCT Biological Science Research Day last week! 🐋

@PalPssa Well done Caitlin!

The oldest brittle star in the southern hemisphere discovered! Congrats to Caitlin Reddy on her first publication describing a stunningly preserved new Devonian ophiuroid genus and species, Krommaster spinosus.

Here's a short article about the find:

Did you know Bowhead whales live 200 years?

A calf born today could be alive in 2223

[Megan Rose Woolley @MegRoseWoolley]

Had a great time presenting my proposed Ph.D. research at the 2023 @GenusPalaeo Conference and hearing about all the amazing work being done by fellow palaeoscience postgraduates from around South Africa!

[Megan Rose Woolley @MegRoseWoolley]

Fascinating!

@TyrantLzrdQueen @PerotMuseum @SMU @Paleo_Tykoski So cool!

[Levi Hastings @LeviHastingsArt]

Have you heard of #Whalefall? The phenomenon in which the body of a dead whale sinks to the ocean floor and its mass becomes a food source and habitat for a myriad of deep sea creatures. A topic near to my heart, this is one of my new prints available first at #ECCC.
