For this #FossilFriday, I have some internal casts of a 360 million year old arborescent lycophyte with no further taxonomical assignment yet. It thrived in a high energy environment, often disturbed by flooding and storms that formed the conglomerates. #Palaeobotany #Paleobotany

In 2025, I presented some new results from my PhD dedicated to the Latest Famennian flora of Euramerica🌿 in the Swedish Museum (NRM) and at Agora Paleobotanica in Paris. At Agora, I was awarded the Boureau Prize for the best oral presentation. 😄🏆 #Paleobotany #Devonian

I once found the world’s biggest moss in a cloud forest in Papua New Guinea - I think this is Dawsonia superba & a single sprig is the length of my hand! Anyone else get really strong Carboniferous vibes? I was expecting a Meganeura to appear any minute

It might sound crazy but we are going to build up a life-size sculpture of Mosasaurus right in the city center of Liège! You can discover and contribute to project via this link! https://t.co/zRDvZzxkZu

Visiting the collections has always helped me grow as a scientist, and seeing some cool fossil plants I had only read about was even cooler. Thanks to the Museum für Naturkunde for hosting me this week! #paleobotany

Really proud to have finally submitted my Ph.D. manuscript 🥳 I would like to thanks everyone who helped during this adventure, especially @Val_Fisch, @DrTLStubbs and Torsten Scheyer for their brilliant supervision!

And finally, I illustrated three living species: the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, the clubmoss Lycopodium annotinum, and the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana, which is a modle organism in plant research. #botany #plants

Two new @frsFNRS funded PhD students in the lab: @melvinvankelst will be working on the biomechanical performances of Eocene-Oligocene carnivorous mammals and @AlexisRastier will be investigating the latest Devonian turnovers in plant communities!

By the late Devonian, these two pioneers were part of a wave of euphyllophytes that independently converged on the development of leaves. 🌱🌿

#FossilFriday 🌿 Behold the late Devonian Cephalopteris and its Belgian relative Rhacophyton! These early ferns showcase fascinating planated yet unlaminated ultimate appendages—an evolutionary step toward the true leaves we know today. #Paleobotany

Here's some new #paleoart of the #Carboniferous #fern Ankyropteris corrugata, which preserves the earliest evidence of a fiddlehead! Congratulations to @rafadscruz and @Sandy_Heth on the publication of this study! https://t.co/qidxXiOygf #paleobotany #FossilFriday

Rafael @rafadscruz and I are excited to share our new paper about fern fiddlehead evolution @CurrentBiology Read the paper at https://t.co/33fd2Zd2S6 Want to find out more watch our video below 👇👇 @MPEG_Edinburgh @PalaeoJules @SBSatEd @EdinburghUni

If Jack had lived in the coal swamps, 300 million years ago... Who needs a beanstalk, when you’ve got a giant club-moss to climb, reaching over 40 metres into the sky! #FossilFriday #MuseumAdvent

One in 10 woody plants build domatia, tiny homes for mites on their leaves. The mites benefit the plants by eating fungal and arthropod pests. The relationship is so successful that mite domatia have independently evolved hundreds of times. In PNAS: https://t.co/MMdTRd6FUf
