New paper out now - Mambawakale ruhuhu, a large, predatory early crocodile-like archosaur from the Middle Triassic of Tanzania. With @vinfernand @VTechmeetsPaleo @JoaoVascoLeite & Dave Gower. Life reconstruction from @SerpenIllus. https://t.co/Ba5v3aD8o0
Feels weird to be tweeting about new research, but we have a paper out today, led by Torsten Scheyer & Stephan Spiekman, reinterpreting the tiny Triassic reptile Colobops as a juvenile rhynchocephalian:

@RSocPublishing @royalsociety @MarkWitton @Tweetisaurus @LukeEMeade @MacnVp @travenn @emmadnn @Palaeo_Bham @NHM_London In this paper we also provide the first quantitative support for the idea that erythrosuchid heads were stupidly large relative to their bodies (life reconstruction by (@MarkWitton).
Our new paper describing first fossils of rauisuchian archosaurs from Triassic of southern Africa:

Paper led by Rick Tolchard of @ESI_FossilLab, with @Piazoic @jonahchoiniere @VTechmeetsPaleo & Julia Desojo.
This is cool, because we didn't put out a press release. Coverage from this and a couple of other media sources has come about solely because of a tweet of mine a few days ago, and of course, the absolutely stunning artwork by @MarkWitton
Phytosaurs are crocodile-like reptiles known from from lake and river deposits worldwide. Their fossils are abundant in the Late Triassic, particularly from Germany and the southwest USA. Image by Jeff Martz. (2/n)
New paper THREAD! We describe a Mystriosuchus steinbergeri, a new species of marine phytosaur from 210 million-year-old rocks of the Late Triassic in Austria! Our paper includes this amazing life restoration by the brilliant @MarkWitton! (1/n)

New paper in @ThePalAss led by Julio Marsola, with @GFerreiraMorph @ItsDavidButton, Max Langer & me. Where did the first dinosaurs live? Biogeographic analyses support traditional view of an origin of dinosaurs in the southern hemisphere: https://t.co/m7CNZoRYvX
