Pre-collisional extension of microcontinental terranes by a subduction pulley by Erkan Gün, Russell N. Pysklywec, Oğuz H. Göğüş & Gültekin Topuz.

Interesting idea against the post-collisional interpretations. How many other localities provide evidence? https://t.co/rPL2Q8cXCf

For #FossilFriday: In the 1980s, the late Dan Varner and I argued for hypocercal tail fins in mosasaurs, based solely on skeletal evidence. Decades later, this marvelous Prognathodon specimen from Jordan left little doubt we were correct.
