In case it wasn't clear: this is sweet and touching and bracing and reminding me not to be such an asshole and then, seeing the comments, yes, bye twitter it's been real.

Hey, here's one of my least favorite constructions in the English language: "as a father of a daughter..."

#MosAdvent #29: Grand Animal of Maastricht, the holotype of Mosasaurus hoffmannii, housed in Paris. It's nearly impossible to photograph, as it's in a glass box under a glass ceiling, so I'm serving it to you as a rotisserie using the photogrammetric model I made of it in 2023.

[Dr. Amelia R. Zietlow 🦎 @TyrantLzrdQueen]

#MosAdvent #24: Tethysaurus for real this time in the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle - for real both literally (not a cast) & taxonomically (the holotype). Very odd little guy, & very important window into early mosasaur anatomy & diversity.

@SeanFennessey @TheBigPic Just catching up on this but this is what ducks and horses were up to 55 million years ago, so.

Hundreds of salmon are now spawning in Klamath River tributaries above the 4 recently dismantled dams for the first time 60 & 112 years. It is exciting and bodes well for the future. Still, it will take several years for fish runs to recover & there is still much more work to do.

[Steve Brusatte @SteveBrusatte]

In the Jurassic, some crocodile relatives became full-time ocean dwellers, like whales.
But unlike whales, they had big skull sinuses, which kept them from becoming ace divers.
