Co-host @MattBorths brought some primate fossil curator facts together for this beautifully animated video!

[Matthew Borths @MattBorths]

Your fingernails are evidence of your primate heritage! It was a lot of fun working on this anatomical story with @TED_ED @augenblicknyc & @DukeLemurCenter https://t.co/nYXcL2AdDN

[Matthew Borths @MattBorths]

We're looking for a fossil preparator

Had to check to make sure this pose was real...the dynamic process of burial and fossil preservation can produce some intriguing postures.

[Past Time @PastTimePaleo]

Check out this oxyaenid tooth @MattBorths found with @BlochLab near the PETM in Wyoming! The PETM marks the warmest moment in the Cenozoic. This little carnivore managed to munch its way through the heat!

[Past Time @PastTimePaleo]

Paleontologists Keegan Melstrom (@gulosuchus) and Randall Irmis of the @NHMU analyzed the insane teeth of Mesozoic crocs, discovering that multiple lineages evolved a plant-based diet!

"Veggie-crocs, Lex. Veggie-crocs!"

WOW, How many fossil in this spot? Egypt is the land of Fossils and Pharos #MUVP

[Past Time @PastTimePaleo]

This great picture from @CurrieMuseum of a Pachyrhinosaurus limb bone is a great example of why fossil preparators and technicians are SO IMPORTANT.

[Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum @CurrieMuseum]

Dinosaur fossils like this Pachyrhinosaurus bone we recently uncovered don’t always look so great in the field, but our skilled technicians and volunteers really make them shine in the lab #FossilFriday #fieldworkfriday #dinosaurs #paleontology #science #alberta #travelalberta

@MattBorths @DukeLemurCenter Spoilers. Pangolins always win.

[Keegan Melstrom @gulosuchus]

Finally, a huge thanks to @alanhturner, @CrocHolliday, and @pmo2112 for their willingness to share data. And my wonderful fiancé Ellen who painted this adorable Pakasuchus getting ready to nom a flower.

[Past Time @PastTimePaleo]

Check out the most complete Cretaceous theropod dinosaur from Brazil: Vespersaurus! Congrats to Langer and colleagues for this new noasaurid.

[macn.pv @MacnVp]

Vespersaurus paranaensis! A new dinosaur species published today by Max Langer and colleagues, including Martin Ezcurra from @MacnVp. It is the most complete neotheropod discovered in Brazil so far! The paper is Open Access!

Yum. Bite-size!

They flipped the skull of the Tufts-Love rex and exposed the roof of the mouth including an incredibly well preserved vomer. @burkemuseum #fossilfriday
