I have a paleontology joke but I don't think you'd dig it.

Something different for #TrilobiteTuesday This is an X-ray of a Chotecops trilobite from the Devonian Hunsruck slate near Bundenbach, Germany. The soft tissues were replaced with pyrite or fool's gold and are denser than the rock. The X-ray shows the denser material including legs and gills.

My, how the tables have turned since 2025! There has been some very cool work done by Lindsay Zanno and @jgn-paleo.bsky.social demonstrating that not only is #Nanotyrannus a valid genus, but one that contains TWO species! Science is powerful because it can always change what we think we know.

Photos via CMNH (fossil) and Witmer & Ridgley, 2010 (CT model) of a juvenile #Tyrannosaurus rex collected in 1942 from Carter Co., MT. Scan data reveal extent of reconstruction. IMO no publications yet show data sufficient to support the genus "Nanotyrannus". Especially damning: Woodward et al 2020.

Factoid 2! I have a broad background in #paleontology including mitigation and consulting, research, #paleohistology, #fossil conservation, and #fieldwork. I have worked in the US, Canada, Mongolia, and Japan. #fossilfriday

Factoid 1! In 2010, I discovered fragments of what would become known as "Chomper" (MOR 6625), a baby #Tyrannosaurus rex. #Chomper is the smallest T. rex ever found! #fossilfriday
