Thinking today about old pal Mátyás Vremir, who left us a year and a half ago. For a couple of reasons, first being this touching illustration by Tibor Pecsics, of Matyi in falconer pose with a real-life Balaur bondoc.
Aww! How cute is this fossil turtle hatchling?!!
What an amazing find in China, the latest important egg discovery from pal Darla Zelenitsky and her crew. Read all about it here: https://t.co/7u2SCT8SDQ
The real Moros was a roughly human-sized tyrannosaur that lived about 96 million years ago in North America. Here are its actual fossil bones:
Befitting a Scottish research group, @WryCritic presents the first peak at our stunning 3D preserved Middle Jurassic pterosaur from the Isle of Skye! https://t.co/flN0bAHt66

My deepest thanks to @guardian for devoting *an entire page* in print today for Mátyás Vremir's obituary. Touched and honoured that we could respect our friend, and our memories of his remarkable fossil discoveries, in this way!
Say hello to Scotland's newest dinosaur: a stegosaur from the charming Isle of Eigg. Discovered by @gsciencelady on our 2017 @GeosciencesEd fieldwork funded by @NatGeo!
During the Jurassic, ca.180 million years ago, some crocs called thalattosuchians moved from land to water, becoming open-ocean swimmers. Just like whales did 100+ million years later.
Our team has a new study out today in @PNASNews, detailing this evolutionary transition.
Some big news coming later today! If you're into crocs, the Jurassic, and evolutionary transitions...stay tuned. @Julia__Schwab & our @LeverhulmeTrust-funded team will be revealing all in a few hours...
Happy publication day to this sublime new book from @NeilShubin: Some Assembly Required. Which should be required reading (see what I did there) for anyone interested in fossils, genetics, and evolution.
