New paper out! 🦴We studied an exceptionally preserved juvenile of Dysalotosaurus lettowvorbecki from the Tendaguru Formation using micro-CT scans, reconstructing ~40 bones hidden inside a rock block. @ThePalAss

An exquisitely preserved young iguanodontian from the Upper Jurassic of Tanzania sheds light on skeletal fusion patterns within Archosauria https://t.co/K6oS7NuwMU #PapersinPalaeontology @errequad @PalaeoFil @ManucciFabio @MorphoSource @MorphoBank

The remains, now housed at the Institut Català de Paleontologia, were primarily excavated more than 30 years ago and have not received any attention since then. However, we estimate it to be the most complete crocodyliform from the Upper Cretaceous of Europe.

New paper out! 🚨📄

I'm excited to share that my first-authored article is officially published!

This study, started during my MSc thesis, focuses on the description and taphonomy of a crocodyliform from the Upper Cretaceous of Spain. 🐊

(1/4) 🦕🐊 A new study published in Historical Biology by @Unibo, @ICP_MCrusafont, @MuseuConcaDella describes a skull fragment of a crocodyliform found in the mid-20th century in Catalonia. 👇

I want to thank my co-authur Bernat Vila (@ICP_MCrusafont , @MuseuConcaDella) and all the people that supported me in the study of this fossil!

A great week in #Sabadell for the @eavp2023, where I presented a poster about #Iguanodon pes morphology! With some of the #EDDyLab team from @ULiegeResearch: @Val_Fisch @NarimaneChatar @LabouryA @rsookias So many interesting talks to listen and people to meet!

Crocodiles at @eavp2023!

@FiloPaga Finalmente il vero spirito del naturalista ti si è risvegliato.

This month I'm at @ICP_MCrusafont, working on Upper Cretaceous fossils of the Pyrenees! 🐊

@Rhinologue @Paleofolk @RBINSmuseum Drink the Iguanodon beer for me, if you can! 🍻

[Christophe Mallet @Rhinologue]

For this #FossilFriday I finished the first model of an Iguanodon exposed at @RBINSmuseum as found in the Bernissart site! 1 day of scanning with @errequad, 2,5 days (!!)) of mesh decimation, 12h of texturing, but the result is worth the effort! 11 skeletons more to go 😅

[Riccardo Rocchi @errequad]

@Rhinologue @RBINSmuseum Thanks and see you soon!!!

[Riccardo Rocchi @errequad]

First #FossilFriday on twitter saying goodbye to the Iguanodons at @RBINSmuseum. Thanks to @Rhinologue and all the people that I met at the Institute in these two months here in Belgium!
