@sealsandsass 🌶️ spicy response time: fossils in a basement brought you your first paper

New pub by Lambert et al.: introducing Rhaphicetus, a plesiomorphic new fossil sperm whale with a small forehead and long snout from the early Miocene of Peru. "wtf" was my first comment when I saw this... https://t.co/Pv3Ncqfzwd

New pub on Japanese fossil pinnipeds: Earliest record of Steller's sea lion Eumetopias jubatus, based on a large jaw from the early Pleistocene Omma Formation of Japan. [Tsuzuku & Kohno, 2020]: https://t.co/speo18td3Y

New paper: new species of crested penguin (Eudyptes atatu) from the Pliocene of New Zealand. Deep bills evolved quite recently. Good to see some of these Taranaki fossils *finally* getting published. Paper by @NZfauna et al. https://t.co/J28Y6pUyQt
