It was my privilege to be involved in this project in such wonderful company as @SerpenIllus . It is going to be an exciting time for paleomammal fans like us, with such amazing shows coming our way.
More concept art for Surviving Earth. This time by the legendary @MAntonPaleoart I am so happy to be in the company of amazing paleoartists for this project

A new ruminant confirms two biogeographic provinces in Asia 38Mya and brings weight on the scenario of eocene-oligocene fauna in central Asia (faunal turnover before 34Ma). Thank you so much colleagues, editors, and reviewers for having this paper out ! 🦌🦬🐃🦒🐐🐏

Terrific study underlining the fact that just because something looks superficially like a feather it doesn’t mean that it is one - a major blow to uncritical assessments of integument evolution
I am proud and grateful to present a dream project today in @Nature! https://t.co/6P8mkNp1gZ Meet #Mirasaura grauvogeli, a #wonderreptilewith skin appendages that rival feathers and hairs, challenging our view of reptile #evolution🪶🦎

🚨Our new study: Tiny teeth, big story. During the last few 100,000s of years of the Cretaceous, before the asteroid hit, a great diversity of theropods was living near what is now Barcelona. Dinosaurs were strong, up until their tragic end! Our paper: https://t.co/bmEDRGRJEo

The talented Jindong Zhang analyzed 74,000+ papers, revealing how #biomimetic research relies on a narrow slice of biodiversity—missing out on nature’s untapped genius. In our paper, we call for broader, species-level, and comparative approaches! https://t.co/GSWEjgCHUK

New paper in Paleobiology! We explore how headshield processes in ostracoderms functioned like control surfaces on planes — helping these early vertebrates stabilize and maneuver in water. CFD + fossil fish = 🦴✈️💨 @8VicenteSanchez @OSanisidro @Macro_Fun Thread 👇

Why is my book taking so long to finish? Well, one of many reasons are Aetosaurs! They are very complicated to reconstruct AND my book has a lot of them! 😅 But Aetosaurs are awesome! Aetosaurs are pseudosuchians, and thus related to modern crocodilians
