Curator of fossil mammals @SMNStuttgart I CT-scan bones, cook eclectic meals, and climb small to medium-sized boulders.
IT IS OUT! As long as we have started studying animals, the simple question “what’s the heaviest animal that ever lived?” had a simple answer: the blue whale…well, not any more E. Celebratory thread for our paper just out @Nature dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586…
The State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart stands for diversity, scientific integrity, transparency and democratic discourse. Therefore, this account will no longer be used and updated from now on. We look forward to seeing you again on BlueSky or LinkedIn!
Our paper on primate fibula trabecular structure, published on @JournalofAnat with @AmsonEli @AlessVeneziano Damiano Marchi, Daniele Panetta and Piero Salvadori is finally out! Enjoy ;) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jo…
PhD position alert: join a diverse team of palaeontologists to study the evolution of temnospondyls! The PhD project @SMNStuttgart will focus on bone microanatomy: lots of fun with thin-sections and CT-data in perspective. tinyurl.com/msvntnd9
Happy New Year, featuring some Bornean highlights from last summer! #herpetology 🐍🦎🐸
#ScienceNews An international research team presents the world's oldest mammalian ancestor. An fossil of a sabre-toothed carnivore from the Permian period has been found in Mallorca. Among the researchers was Dr Eudald Mujal from @SMNStuttgart. More info: naturkundemuseum-bw.de/en/press/detai…
What is this unique needle-like sesamoid for? Well, we do not know yet... so stay tuned! Meanwhile, check out our new paper on the evolution of #shrews 🐀 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

For the people who missed my two previous talks on gastrotrichs (and a bit of 'Osedax'), because it was in French, now you have a chance to see it in English, with Zoom. It will be Tuesday the 11th of June at 3pm :) Here is the link to Zoom : zoom.us/j/94510498226

Not only is the #neck length of #Tanystropheus unusual, but also the small number of only 13 cervical #vertebrae. In a collaborative study @BoehmerGroup, we reveal the mechanism of neck elongation in the Triassic reptile. Rytel et al 2024 @RSocPublishing doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2….
