I’m happy to share that the third chapter of my PhD has just been published! ��� In this study, we describe a new giant radiodont from the Fezouata Biota in Morocco. The publication features an incredible reconstruction by @alextrebaol

(1/4) Upcoming workshop! This September, from the 21st to the 23rd, an Ordovician workshop in tribute to Claude Babin will be held on the Crozon Peninsula, Brittany, France. Don’t hesitate to sign up and explore one of France's most beautiful places, within the Armorique Geopark.
🦐Instantaneous burial capturing animals alive may not be prerequisite for exceptional marine animal preservation and fossilization.

1/5. It was a very nice time during the last 2 intense months. It started with a very nice @ThePalAss annual meeting at which I presented a poster about our recently published work with @PGueriau and @cambriancritter.
🚨📄 Paper Alert 📄🚨
Our new paper about the early developmental stages of a 480 million years old arthropod from Morocco is out!
We used synchrotron X-ray microtomography to see details of these ~ 2 mm long babies.
Details in 🧵👇 1/7
Fossil evidence of arthropod moulting is popular these days! Fascinating work by @harrietdrage, David Legg, and @cambriancritter, with compelling evidence for a suture in a marrellid. Intriguing how different it is from moulting in Marrella from the #BurgessShale ...
🦐❌ 🪱✅ In a paper published today in @RSocPublishing Biology Letters, @Cambriannelids, N. Rabet and myself reveal using μCT scanning that the Lower Devonian animal Gilsonicaris is a polychaete annelid and not an anostracan crustacean or even an arthropod
🚨🚨 Paper alert! I am happy to share my new paper with @PGueriau and @cambriancritter 🥳. The paper talks about the suspension-feeding radiodonts from the Fezouata Shale 🇲🇦. Spoiler: Aegirocassis was not alone. Check out the link if you want more details

So so excited to be running a workshop on trilobite ecology and dispersal with the excellent Stephen Pates and plenty of amazing collaborators! Huge thanks to the @PaleoSynth project and the folks at FAU for this! 🦀
Scientific academic publishing is systemically flawed, but there are better ways! Myself and @ThomasHearing published a preprint on a new prospective publishing model for #palaeontology.
Get in touch if you're interested in collaborating on #OpenScience!
