I am proud and grateful to present a dream project today in @Nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… Meet #Mirasaura grauvogeli, a #wonderreptilewith skin appendages that rival feathers and hairs, challenging our view of reptile #evolution🪶🦎




Its finally out! Please Welcome Mirasaura! A new drepanosaur from the Middle Triassic of France. @SerpenIllus made the press artwork but I couldn't hold back and had to do my own interpretation during break time =)
The team came to the ESRF to scan the skull of the reptile at the new beamline BM18. Great collaboration!
