La Buitrera was among the most amazing places I've ever had the chance to work, both geologically and in terms of sheer beauty, and I really tried to channel how it felt to be there into the final piece. I can't thank everyone I met there enough for showing me the ropes!

These tracks appear in interdunal river deposits in the Kokorkom paleoerg (a dune sea spanning 826 km^2) and can even include skin impressions! While these prints were made in relatively wet conditions, I depicted a transient sauropod herd during dry times in the final piece.

While the La Buitrera Paleontological Area, where we were working, is known primarily for its beautiful preservation of small animals, I also had the chance to see some amazingly preserved sauropod footprints that Apesteguía et al. described in 2023. https://t.co/v2UAaO2Cq6

Squeezing in one more 2024 art piece, a year after having the opportunity to do fieldwork in the Candeleros Fm of Argentina's Neuquén Basin. That trip inspired this piece, which depicts a group of titanosaurs traveling a dry interdune riverbed at sunset. #paleoart #sauropods 🦕

Are you in the Twin Cities and wonder what dinosaurs sounded like? Come check out our exhibit at Como Conservatory where we used an instrument based on hadrosaur skulls (#Hadrophone) to create an immersive soundscape in the Fern Room! Nov 18th-26th! https://t.co/UtXzB0Akn7

Headed to Minneapolis for the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting next week? Come check out my talk on Wednesday morning at 10:30am discussing some of my PhD work rethinking current methods for examining fluvial transport in the fossil record! #Taphonomy #fossils #2024SVP

A bit late, but excited to say that I passed my oral exam for my PhD proposal and am now an official PhD candidate! Expect more taphonomy in action from me soon! #taphonomy #fossils

This is a series of very cool projects on the evolution of the avian vocal organ, for which I had the opportunity to contribute to. Birdsong and Human Voice Built from Same Genetic Blueprint. @jclarkepaleolab @MichaelChiappo3

Recent research has revealed a common genetic link between the larynx – the vocal organ of mammals, reptiles, and amphibians…

Ostriches aren’t shy about speaking up! 🗣️ While earning his undergrad degree at the Jackson School, @MichaelChiappo3 delved into the ostrich sound repertoire and the anatomy of its vocal organ. His research made the cover of the @JournalofAnat. https://t.co/MihafrLaOe

Excited to see this press release for a trio of papers from my undergrad lab, with some custom art by me! Lots of awesome work by @BioRodriguez and everyone at @jclarkepaleolab. Thanks to everyone involved!
Birds make a cacophony of sounds with their unique vocal organ, the syrinx! 🦉🦜🐦 A trio of studies by the @jclarkepaleolab delves into the organ's anatomy and origins, revealing a common genetic link between the human voice box & the bird syrinx. https://t.co/QNRI0Iqdd5

The cover image of this month's issue of @JournalofAnat comes from a paper by @MichaelChiappo3 et al., looking at morphology of the syrinx in ostriches. Shown is a cut through the syrinx at 2-day, 2-week and at adulthood in a male and female bird https://t.co/DZ4SactJEc

Check our latest paper on the ostrich syrinx and vocalizations. Amazing work with @MichaelChiappo3 @jclarkepaleolab
My first ever scientific paper made it onto the cover of the latest issue of Journal of Anatomy! Thanks and congrats to everyone on the team including @BioRodriguez for getting it there!

So this happened a couple weeks ago. An encounter I could only have dreamed of with one of my most-wanted mammals.

I had a blast doing paleo field work in Argentina over the last week and a half! Everyone there was fantastic, the wildlife was plentiful, the fossils and geology were beautiful, and the Patagonian desert is among the most breathtaking places I've ever had the privilege to visit.
