Just out!
We wondered what information is retained in the elemental chemistry of an animal poop💩that has fossilized - can it be used as a proxy, and of what?

A paper on Early Permian scale impressions (of bolosaurian reptiles). It is difficult to interpret the origin of a tissue from imprints; but it is most likely dermal indeed🦎 #paleontology#fossilskin#softtissues#ichnology#footprints#scales

The paleo community is mourning the passing of giant. Philippe Taquet passed away on Sunday at 85. I was honored to meet him in his Paris office in 2007. Later that year, we published on a sauropod from his beloved Gadoufaoua in Niger & named for him: https://t.co/sZAYsqF7Qn
2001 - In my kidbed, reading in his book "L'empreinte des dinosaures" that studying fossils sometimes also offers the chance to travel far abroad and thus to meet people from all over the world.
Meaningly grateful that I was able to try 🙏

Out in IScience: "A 480 million year old parasitic spionid annelid"....or so many other type of extant or extinct annelid? I find this one moderately convincing (though interesting ofc !) 🪱

BIG DAY TODAY FOR PARASITOLOGY 🪱
The first leech body fossil (previous occurences being triassic cocoons 🥚) - recovered as a stem-Hirudinida from the Silurian period (>435 ma). 🥳

The only thing I really expect from academia is to have fun. 🎉
This paper is pure fun: it started with a BBQ brainstorming, turned into a project with friends, and ended with a super-talented friend making the cover photo. What a combo! 🔥📚📸
