From the new Bradbury Stamm Construction Ancient Life Hall at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science. Dracopristis, the model reconstruction and the skeleton. Wait! 🦈 are cartilaginous, their skeletons don’t usually fossilize! Our Dracopristis didn’t get the memo. Opens Feb 15!

Coming in February, at the NM Museum of Nat Hist & Sci, the brand new Bradbury Stamm Construction Ancient Life Hall! 250 million yrs of NM Paleozoic in 3000 sq ft. Given the evolutionary milestones of the Paleozoic, one might suggest the rest of the history of life on Earth was just fine tuning.

#FossilFriday About an hour from Albuquerque is the famous Seismosaurus/Diplodocus site in the Ojito Wilderness where one of our iconic dinosaurs was found. After 2 years @NMMNHS_Paleo I finally made the trip. New Mexico is awesome! #dinosaurs

One of our iconic dinosaur displays. Originally named Seismosaurus but now known as Diplodocus

Some of the original bones of the dinosaur originally described as Seismosaurus but now known as Diplodocus.

Our study on NW Alaska dinosaurs is in Discover Magazine! The science is here: mdpi.com/2076-3263/14/2…. A 100 Ma ecosystem with crazy biodiversity: dinosaur tracks, plants & more. We walked the actual woodland the dinosaurs did! Cool stuff in an ancient climate like modern Miami, Florida.

New Mexico has an incredible fossil record and the NM Museum of Natural History & Science has just started a new project to study dinosaurs and their environments. Cool stuff! Stay tuned.
