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 @NHMU]

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. 🦖

[Kiersten Formoso, PhD(elulu) @Formorphology]

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.

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.

[North American Paleontological Convention 2024 @Napc2024]

Over the next few weeks we will be answering all your W’s (who, what, when, where, why?) about NAPC 2024! 🔍

A reminder of how the skull of the Vaquita (Phocoena sinus), the rarest and smallest of living #cetaceans, is oddly similar to the Millennium Falcon!! #MayThe4thBeWithYou #MarineMammals #NHMLAC
