Very good illustration by Sergey Krasovskiy of the newly named Menefeeceratops sealeyi (Named after the location where the fossils were found 'Menefee horned face'.) This new centrosaurine was originally described in 1997, however, was not named until very recently by

The variability of the fossils from Hadar, Ethiopia, has long been attributed to sexual dimorphism and temporal trends within Australopithecus afarensis. The recent discovery of other species at nearby sites may require re-evaluation of this idea.

Day 5 of Today we have Prorastomus, the ancient ancestor of modern day Sirenia (manatee & dugong) that lived 40 million years ago. Unlike it's aquatic descendants, the fossils indicate it was more terrestrial-based.

Here's old, outdated reconstruction of a tanystropheid - where it's elongate cervical (neck) vertebra were treated as extension of phalanges (pterosaur wings). Now it's accepted they likely were long-necked aquatic animals, based on its wonderful fossils (check out its skull!)

I ❤️ marsupials, especially weird fossils, but I can't deny they aren't as diverse as placentals. Our new paper, out today & led by , uses jaw shape to show they also evolve more slowly, likely due to developmental constraints https://t.co/8GbDV2GarN
