I recently toured the CSIRO Australian National Fish Collection - what a treat! Their collection includes fixed specimens, tissue samples, photos, X-rays, CT scans and dried specimens 🐟🐠🦈

It's out! doi.org/10.3389/fevo... Koharalepis was a large Devonian predatory fish collected in Antarctica. We found its braincase was similar to the fishes straddling the vertebrate water-to-land transition, and evidence of adaptations to life near the water's surface. Painting by Thomas Turner.

Big congrats to fellow palaeo student Cate Sexton on her very engaging 3MT presentation and progressing through to the Flinders Uni final. Cate spoke about the long history being uncovered at Warratyi rock shelter and partnering with the local Adnyamathanha community.

#TBT I worked at the Zoo for a couple of years as a tour guide, mostly in the panda exhibits. Last month I got to say goodbye to Wang Wang and Fu Ni before they headed home to China. #ThrowbackThursday
