Ruairidh Duncan and co-authors describe a new species of Janjucetus from the Jan Juc Marl. This is a Mammalodontid- a clade of toothed mysticetes known only from the Chattian of south-eastern Australia and New Zealand. https://t.co/Z7jUWwtEq8 @DrTeethAl

An epic new paper by my supervisor, mentor and absolute legend Steve Poropat on the first ever sauropod gut content!

Sauropods were the largest land-living animals of all time. Finding the traces of a sauropod's last meal is nothing short of extraordinary. @CurtinUni
