For I naturally need to highlight our new paper on Ankylorhiza. Ankylorhiza means "fused roots" - most early diverging dolphins have double rooted teeth, but nearly all the teeth are single rooted - making it one of the first dolphins to evolve this condition.

Fossil plants are an informative and super cool topic for artists, and it really helps when paleoartists put time in to communicate paleobotany so other artists can improve their work. Big thanks to for her informative 2014 blog on DPF fossil plants

musings related to my current research. In living archosaurs epiphyseal cartilages can extend limb bone length from between less than 1% to more than 10%! This has big implications for our modelling of joint kinematics and how we interpet plausible ranges of motion.
