🌊🐊 Were some of the earliest crocodylians venturing into the sea? 🦴 For our new paper in Palaeontology, we CT-scanned three skulls of “thoracosaurs” and found clues for a shallow-marine lifestyle in these enigmatic critters. ➡ doi.org/10.1111/pala... ️📖

Happy international women in science day! I say happy, but I hope we all realize we will have to fight a lot harder sgain to earn our place in science. The rise of fascism is leading to dramatic cuts in science, and specifically wants us to serve as housewives again.

🐴🌿 Eurohippus messelensis was a perissodactyl that lived in western Europe 47-38 MYA. These tiny horse-like creatures had four toes and spent their days munching on leaves from the tropical rainforests that covered the area. The specimen originates from the Messel pit, Germany 🇩🇪 #FossilFriday

For my first #FossilFriday post: Bernissartia fagesii, my beloved 💜 This basal eusuchian used to crawl around in between the Iguanodons ~130 MYA in what is now Bernissart, Belgium. It measured only 60 cm at maturity and is therefore one of the smallest - and cutest - crocodyliforms known to science
