The second I am calling Tecovaserpeton perfectum, and it is known (not surprisingly) primarily from the Tecovas Fm in TX. Its holotype was originally named Buettneria perfecta by Case in 1922, and it is a shockingly "perfect" specimen aside from being squished and missing the tabular horns.

The holotype skull of Tecovaserpeton perfectum, another toilet-lid headed amphibian from the Upper Triassic of Texas. This specimens is exceptionally well preserved with details of nearly all of the teeth and the dorsal surface of the skull clearly visible.

Louisville showed up for our campaign HQ opening, and I’m grateful to everyone who celebrated with us. Seeing this room full of neighbors, volunteers, and friends reminded me why we’re doing this. This campaign belongs to the people of Kentucky, from the hood to the holler. Let's get to work.

This one has been a long time coming! I'm happy to share that another chapter of my PhD has been published! In this one, I'm shaking up the taxonomy of North American metoposaurids. This work was largely done in museum collections, and more on that below. peerj.com/articles/217...

A figure with maps showing the distribution of metoposaurid occurrences in Upper Triassic outcrops of western and eastern North America (centered on the USA). The approximate chronostratigraphic ranges of the now five recognized species are plotted, and line drawings of all of the potentially or definitively diagnostic holotypes of North American metoposaurids are included.

New paper out today! Led by Daniel Schwarz, we retrodeformed the skull and reconstructed the cranio-mandibular musculature of the giant stem-amphibian Mastodonsaurus giganteus. Our results show that Mastodonsaurus had a powerful bite and a crocodile- like bite-and-hold feeding style.

Ceres - RC3 - Dantu Crater - From Aster Cowart (terrasabaea.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/z8UUHP

Approximate true-color image of Ceres, using the F7 ('red'), F2 ('green') and F8 ('blue') filters, projected onto a clear filter image.

Images were acquired by Dawn at 11:18 UT May 4, 2015, at a distance of 13637 km. At the time, Dawn was over Ceres' northern hemisphere. The large crater exposing white material near top center is Dantu. Smaller white spots appear to be ejecta rays from Dantu.

While “disturbing” is indeed a matter of opinion, I disagree, and would point to the critically endangered Gharial parent (the male in this case) taking care of its young (and often times the young of others. Also the photographer of these unique crocodilian shots is Dhiritiman Mukherjee.

McDonald's were hiring hundreds of children, as young as 10 years old, to work in Kentucky locations as recently as 2023. McDonald's business model, like others, is predicated on exploiting child and farm labor, and to let them get away with this is frankly insulting to the legacy of Dolores Huerta

Today I caught one of the largest frogs of my life. This gigantic Pelophylax ridibundus belongs to a Balkan lineage (formerly P. kurtmuelleri) that has an established introduced population in one lake in central Copenhagen. They are about twice the size of our native green frogs! 🐸🧪

Yours truly and the Very Large Frog, our faces with the same expression. The Frog (the F is capitalised; a proper noun for a proper Frog) is huge, about the size of my face, and held in a gloved hand.

May Is Missing Murdered Indigenous Women Awareness Month (MMIW/P).

Native American women face murder rates more than ten times the national average. These disappearances and murders are directly linked to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and sex trafficking. These crimes are most often committed by individuals from outside of indigenous communities and often go uninvestigated by law enforcement officials.

Murder is the third leading cause of death for Native American women and girls according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control.

56.1% have experienced sexual violence, 55.5% have experienced physical violence by an intimate partner, and 48.8% have experienced stalking, according to the National Institute of Justice.
