#SVPCA2021 @SVPCA2021 talks are over. Field trips and workshops to come. But right now putting my feet up by the canal. An absolutely fantastic set of talks, wonderful combo of zoom and gather for the conference. In general, fantastic experience.
I've not done much #caricature, accuracy and realism are what interests me, but this 2014 T-shirt design for the #SVPCA (palaeontology conference) was great fun. #PaleoArt #SciArt #SciComm #Plesiosaur #MarineReptile #Jurassic
O'Mahoney: For the ribs, denser sampling of fragmentary material gives better results. #SVPCA2017
Results of glide test: if we threw a hatchling pterosaur out of a tree, it would glide better than modern dedicated gliders. #SVPCA2017
Proportion of hatchling remarkably similar to the adult, unlike mammal and bird babies. Cue images of cloud of flaplings. #SVPCA2017
Next steps: run the same analysis on 500 amphibian specimens. Here's what she has so far: #SVPCA2017
Two very different caecilian skulls. Why are they so different? What's driving it? #SVPCA2017
The new lungfish material, including Micro-CT scans and speculative reconstruction of them belonging to the same taxon. #SVPCA2017
In case you haven't seen the classic mineral case at the Lapworth.👌#SVPCA2017 @OriginalGCG
