Doctoral Lecturer @ Hunter College. Former UT Austin Postdoc/Grad student. Mammal paleontology. Primate and rodent nose evolution. Pangolin enthusiast.
Checking out the internal nasal anatomy of a Bornean smooth-tailed treeshrew (Dendrogale melanura) today. Extremely pretty turbinals which are involved in detecting odors in the environment + warming/humidifying inhaled air. Downloaded from @MorphoSource#Scicomm#noses#skull

Why did so many of the groups that makeup modern terrestrial ecosystems originate and diversify in the Cretaceous? We propose that the “Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution” was sparked by a tectonic revolution that began ~100 Mya 🧵

NEW in the Contributions of the UMMP: "Phylogeny and Evolution of North American Nothartcinae (Mammalia, Primates) in the early Eocene of Wyoming," in which Philip Gingerich suggests notharctine diversity paralleled warming and cooling during the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum.

@MarcKissel The site description for Fantasia is just - "Skulls abundant"...
It truly is the world of [a paleontologists] fantasy.
It's also located inside a cloud 90% of the time so not too different from this gif!
I’m thrilled to announce our paper on euarchontans on mountains is now out in JHE! Here are some pics of this amazing and unique site to entice you….

And massive thanks to all the amazing field assistants that risked the perils of the Marmot Minefield to collect w/me @hess_jix @DavidTLedesma @AmyLynnAtwater @astrophocaudia @JLivelyPaleo @KajsaLundeen@Kristen_paleo@paleorocco@rocksnriffs @kellydthomson and many non-tweeters
Happy #FossilFriday! It's come to my attention that this past July, I wrote June on every bag/page of notes/specimen. I also did not write any field notes for the last 3 (I think??!) days of fieldwork. I am now left to piece together @rocksnriffs & my activities based on photos.
