Today I celebrate the privilege of collaborating with some of the most wonderful women in paleontology, like Meave Leakey and Nina Jablonski. Back in 2004 I worked with them on the study of amazing fossils of Rhinocolobus and other fossil monkeys from Koobi Fora. What a ride!

The Toploje Member chert is an Antarctic Permian site preserving a high-latitude swamp. The environment is quite unique given its time and location and yields a variety of plant fossils with arthropod and fungi interactions.

Tenontosaurus was popularly depicted as prey fodder for Deinonychus. Come on, they deserve better than that, for a lone Tenontosaurus could potentially injure a lone Deinonychus. Fossils have been common, having remains found from Montana to possibly even Maryland. Wild!

The Steinheim skull has been a puzzle in Today, we know that genetic exchanges with Africa influenced early Neandertals, and fossils from Apidima, Greece close in age to Steinheim may reflect this mixing. Why not this one too?

The Guanshan Biota has a host of primitive arthropods including the scavenger Guangweicaris spinatus. The lack of hard parts means we mainly find them in konservat-lagerstätten.

Because this fish is rather obscure and there's only a handful fossils to look for reconstructing, I used its close relative the Strunius and Qingmenodus as reference and also use extant Hoplias sp. as other reference, that gave me 2 version of the Onychodus as illustrated below
