Bear in mind this mind of bear. Frontal and paranasal sinuses and the front end of the endocranial cavity @FAVE_Lab_CT #GoBears
Giant, powerful jaw, forelimb morphology convergence in the two major whale clades, and inferred predatory lifestyle like a killer whale! What’s not to like about Ankylorhiza tiedemani, the new Oligocene dolphin? #FossilFriday https://t.co/pRufLjOTKm (📸 Boessenecker et al 2020)
@ashleyshammond Yes! I currently have a handful of sketchfab open access selfie busts for virtual validation of designs. I also scanned myself, FINALLY making myself useful in my research 😆
What better way to conclude #FossilFriday than to have a pre-flight toast with two of my favorite AMNH artists? They make fossils come to life in ways words cannot. 📸 Leptarctus by Nicole Wong, Sinornithosaurus by Mick Ellison, both @AMNH #sciart
Dedicating this #Valentines #FossilFriday to heteromyid rodent CUPIDinimus, named in 1935 from the VALENTINE formation in Nebraska. It was love at first “cite” during my undergrad project. Illustration by N. Wong @AMNH; photo of smol snoot by 2005 Jack for @ucmpberkeley
Interesting contrast to several hyena skulls I have observed in museum collections: dorsal puncture wounds to the cranial vault show signs of healing (=non-lethal), likely attributed to the fact that the dorsal sinuses in hyenas extend caudally to overlay the cranial cavity! https://t.co/QdTSucLypg
Rising star Alix Prybyla's first-authored study on the bite capability of Leptarctus, extinct 'tanks' among weasel-kind. Work done from her #REU + internship in our research team! https://t.co/TTiW27zr2S Artwork: N. Wong/AMNH. #fossilfriday #openaccess #biomechanics #paleontology
