Great write-up of our ongoing research @UNM on the K-Pg #extinction in #Mississippi! Some of our lab were recently able to conduct some 'socially distanced' fieldwork to a new site. Read about it here:

I'm afraid that I'll be collecting at rock outcrop and get pulled over by the police for being black with a hammer in my hand. That could be my last breath. That's the world WE live in.

Very happy to share my story about how I got into Paleontology and the fossil record of the state of Georgia.

Say hello to Dineobellator, a new Velociraptor-type dinosaur from New Mexico! Feisty and feathered.

Congrats to @JasinskiSe and his team on a cool find and a nice paper!

So hopefully some interesting news, our paper on a new dromaeosaurid dinosaur from the end of the Cretaceous in New Mexico is officially published in Scientific Reports and is open access. Say hello to Dineobellator notohesperus.

Gideon Mantell, an English obstetrician, geologist and palaeontologist, was born #OnThisDay in 1790. He was responsible for the discovery of the first fossil teeth, the skeleton and naming of Iguanodon. You can read more about him here https://t.co/SXiscxtg5z #Dinosaurs

Several @UNM Biology and MSB students lobbied for critical internal infrastructure for the new Natural History Science Center: a fossil collection, specimen teaching classroom, grad offices, and natural history displays. Proud to represent @UNMornithology at NM capital today!

Welcome to #TrilobiteTuesday! Over the last four decades, Morocco has emerged as an epicenter for trilobite discovery. Such discoveries include this 6-in- (15 cm)-long Drotops, which lived during the Devonian.
