“Tools on” in the new Queensland Museum fossil preparation lab!

@BestInSlotYT I had to do this! I majored in ecology and was lucky enough to do an unspecified co-major so I pulled in geology and environmental science classes. This included field work options in all areas at QUT, Australia

A lovely honour to have this awarded for a hard won research outcome that took over a decade to achieve but happy with the result. Thanks to my coauthors, colleagues, stakeholders and traditional owners (Barada Barna) for making it all possible.

@IllyBocean I have had a similar thing happen to me in retail when returning a customers change he grabbed my hand and started stroking it and wouldn’t let go. I was about 15-16. Had to pull my hand away and call for the next (non existent) customer

🦖 Rover is not the only one who can wag his tail, it turns out the T-rex is just behind him, with new research from Queensland Museum Research Honorary Dr Peter Bishop proving dinosaurs wagged their tails as they ran.

Don't forget to check out our filmed megafauna series with Dr Scott Hocknull. You can view these on @qldmuseum Facebook & Youtube. You can even find out what a coprolite is - hint - while not as cool as megafauna bones it’s definitely a solid number 2 in the fossil record!

Spotlighting at Capricorn Caves tonight and came across my first Megalania. Friendly fellow and was very happy for me to take a picture. #wildearth #megalania #projectdig @qldmuseum @CapricornCaves @ProjectDig #ar

@TJDHalliday I’m doing that today at my old primary school but on megafauna!! Preppy kids (age 5ish) so I’ll let you know if I come up with any tips!

@pmills_Apio87 @DrAnnaFunk I last saw one two years ago on Stradbroke island. Before that it was about 6 years prior when I was in high school. They used to be super common when I was a kid….it’s sad to see such an icon disappearing so quickly

@Lilysea Me. I prefer men’s shoes for that exact reason, or I buy a size up to what I need. I have small feet (size 4 aus) but wide…

New paper out with @Texaspaleo.!! This might be my favorite one ever: How one uses fire to prep dinosaur fossils. Find it here at Palaeontologia Electronica: https://t.co/ULZixv6jia.

@marsupialtapir I am forever grateful that the computer repair place was able to recover all the files from my hard drive. It’s still awful losing an essay! Especially one so long
