My #dermestid colony stripped a pack of chicken legs in just 24 hours! They even stripped the marrow of the bone. Think they are ready for the upcoming scavenging tasks I'll be assigning them in my #taphonomy research 👍

Hello and welcome to our new mascot, Genowefa! Geno (for short) is a Hermann's #tortoise, found abandoned near the University's field station in northern Poland some weeks ago. We hope she will be with us for many years to come 🐢😊

My #dermestid beetles have arrived! These little flesh eaters will strip carcasses for my @ThePalAss grant research. Thank you to Sarah at Dermestaria for this beautiful colony, I've wanted my one of my own since I was a teenager 😊🐜 #taphonomy #palaeontology

Today, the UN family mourns the loss of Dr. Jane Goodall. The scientist, conservationist and UN Messenger of Peace worked tirelessly for our planet and all its inhabitants, leaving an extraordinary legacy for humanity and nature.

I'm back! Sorry for the long break - it's been a busy year with new projects. Now it's time to upload them! Mioeuoticus shipmani from the Miocene of Kenya lurking on his 'dinner'. As the new day rises, the primate is about to fall asleep soon. Source project in comments ⬇️
