Tomorrow (Tues, 1/23) Juri Miyamae joins our department to discuss her research on our unconventional mammalian neuromuscular anatomy, using fossils, lab animals, and bioinspired robotic design @KeckMedicineUSC@USCPaleoSci
Let's go back to a time... when a burst of greenhouse gases and rising temps (that wiped out most life on Earth) paved the way for the rise of Jurassic dinosaurs. #ThrowbackThursday
New research by USC Dornsife's @alison_cribb and @Formorphology ⤵️

A treasure trove of Miocene #mammals from the #Siwalik foothills of the #Himalayas brings new insight into the #paleontology of #India.
These #fossils are the first micromammals from the town of Dunera and establish that the locality is 10-11 million years old.
🚨New study🚨 in JVP reports the first named dicynodont, an extinct group of mammal-like tetrapods, found in North America in over a century of paleontological work: Argodicynodon boreni 🧵/1 @MuseumofTTU @dimetrodoc@USCPaleoSci
🚨🚨Our article describing America’s newest dicynodont fossils from the Triassic of Texas is online just in time for #FossilFriday! Meet Argodicynodon boreni! 3D digital art by @cullen_townsend https://t.co/KqaEVA3jyN
NHMU Curator Randy Irmis is visiting his colleague Dr. Adam Huttenlocker for #FossilFriday in LA @uscpaleosci to work on an @NSF funded collaborative project! Yesterday they CT-scanned @USCMIC a 300 million-year-old skull related to the common ancestor of mammals and reptiles. 🦖
Heyyy the final version is up and I'm happy to share it now!
Just a little thought and perspective 🤔 paper from me, @aeroevo, and @VelezJuarbeJ
Also my first PhD chapter.

A week at the Continental Scientific Drilling facility has given Dr. Randy Irmis, NHMU's curator of paleontology, some new insight on prehistoric environments!
We invite you to submit your proposals for paleontology symposia, field trips, and workshops for #NAPC2024! The deadline for proposals is August 1, 2023.

As we’re gearing up for our summer #BearsEars fieldwork, I learned a New York Times bestselling author wrote a murder mystery that involves a frozen paleontologist and our recently described synapsid Shashajaia from Valley of the Gods. Required reading for our field crew.
