I’m delighted to share that the third chapter of my PhD has just been published! 🥳 In this study, we describe a new giant radiodont from the Fezouata Biota in Morocco. The publication also features an incredible reconstruction by @alekstreb.bsky.social. Available here: www.app.pan.pl/article/item...

(1/4) Upcoming workshop! This September, from the 21st to the 23rd, an Ordovician workshop in tribute to Claude Babin will be held on the Crozon Peninsula, Brittany, France. Don’t hesitate to sign up and explore one of France's most beautiful places (probably the world) within the Armorique Geopark.

In a recently published paper, we describe a new Ordovician polar ecosystem from the Montagne Noire in France 🇫🇷. A huge effort led by ECRs and locals 🤩 This is how polar ecosystems looked like 470 million years ago 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
