How femoral morphology informs our understanding of the evolution of ornithopod locomotion and body size onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pa… @RomainPintore @MorphoSource @wileyearthspace
The ornithomimid block is shaping up nicely. The body of the specimen is in a cemented sandstone with ironstone (potential for feathers?!?) so we don’t want to expose much in the field— it will have to wait for the lab.

🌟 I’d like to share my exciting results and insights into 3D modeling, which can not only digitise your fossil (in this case, a baby mammoth tooth from Lithuania) but also remove infilled sediment to reveal its true morphology 🤓 ⬇️ #lithuania #model #palaeontology #fossil

Cactocrinus proboscidalis rocks! The preservation of this specimen's arms is exciting because each one is actually many small plates that usually fall apart quickly after death. Visit UMORF and see it from all angles! myumi.ch/QwmW7 #FossilFriday

Welcome back another #trilobitetuesday Here we have the Ellipsocephaloid trilobite Estaingia bilobata. This comes from the Lower Cambrian Emu Bay Shale from Kangaroo Island, South Australia.

The CUHK team has landed at the Senckenberg Frankfurt Museum (!) using new, cutting-edge technology to study fossils (we'll keep you posted). Now, if the public display hall has such beauties on display, imagine what's behind the scenes.

Meeting old friends in hope of learning something new about them
Often the best fossils are hard to see in field photos, "brown blobs on a brown background". 1st photo; limb from either a pterosaur, or 1 of the other fragile species we're digging. 2nd is a complete vertebra from probably troodontid. #fossilfriday #dinosaur
