Happy #FossilFriday ! This week we have the early whale Georgiacetus and the early archosauromorph Arizonasaurus. 🤩🤩 Aren’t they just awesome? 🐋 by @SergeyAtrox1, figure from Nesbitt 2003. 🇺🇸
One of the cooler fossils we’ve found in #Zambia. A slice through the backbone of an armored pareiasaur, you’re seeing the vertebrae with the osteoderms ‘floating’ in the rock above. #FossilFriday . Art by Bogdanov. #NorthLuangwaNP
The genus Dicynodon was established 174 years ago by Richard Owen. There are two species of this icon: D. lacerticeps 🇿🇦, and now D. angielczyki 🇹🇿 named yesterday (!) for the outstanding Ken Angielczyk of the @FieldMuseum and my #postdoc #advisor #FossilFriday
