We spent a week at the Field Museum earlier this month, re-identifying a bunch of mislabeled material from China (soon to be returned) and a boatload of unpublished Cryolophosaurus material. These here are the jaws of a small crocodylomorph and sauropodomorph.
Check out this cool new video showing the early days of the Peabody Museum. The Podokesaurus display remains just off-screen, but we do get a look at Podoke-observer Richard Lull in (a form of) motion.
Thanks for sharing @yalepeabody !

@Juanyudocus Tbf there is a pseudosuchian sometimes referred to Postosuchus in the Ghost Ranch Coelophysis quarry, could have been based partially on that?
Freya has been busy prepping a Jurassic plant from Massachusetts that we collected a few weeks ago; most of this was covered when we found it. She’ll need the practice for when we find CT Valley bones🤞
@kurinosukeboy Michael Ross is who you’ll want to contact, he’s the director. We visited for research last week and he was very welcoming; I can give you his email if you can’t find it elsewhere.

Spent the day at Yale checking out Connecticut Valley fossils, Coelophysis, and the oldest surviving dinosaur fossil found in the western hemisphere (2nd pic.) We also got Raising Cane’s for the first time.
Making some interesting breakthroughs in interpreting Podok’s dorsal verts. Thinking we’re seeing them from a different perspective than previously thought, + some internal features not before appreciated
Thanks again to Mount Holyoke for allowing us to present some of our in-progress Podokesaurus revision. The first new science on the species in almost 60 years!
