Happy #FossilFriday! I am absolutely thrilled to share the first new exhibit for the History Museum at the Castle to feature specimens from the Weis collection: bird evolution, flourite, & quartz. Many thanks to B Danz, T Green, & J Taylor for their photos & art!

A life model of Sinosauropteryx posed behind a real piece of fossilized Edmontosaurus skin.

The entire exhibit cabinet featuring specimens from the Weis museum. The top halves display specimens and photographs that teach visitors about bird evolution. The lower halves of the cabinet feature flourite and quartz mineral specimens.

The upper left section of the cabinet, which focuses on the common ancestry that birds share with dinosaurs.

The upper right section of the cabinet, which calls attention to features and behaviors that visitors can observe in modern birds that they share with their reptile relatives.

Today's bombshell in @nature.com by Lindsay Zanno & James Napoli @jgn-paleo.bsky.social (bit.ly/4qBE6ng) shows that putative juvvy T. rex fossils actually are Nanotyrannus. I reviewed the manuscript, so Nature invited me to write the News & Views commentary. Free link: rdcu.be/eNv94 🦖

The figure used in my News & Views commentary. I generated the CT-based rendering of the holotype skull of Nanotyrannus lancensis (CMNH 7541), based on a recent scan. The lower image was done by the Nature art department.

Here's the free link to the print version that I'm permitted to share: https://rdcu.be/eNv94. You can't download it but you can screen-capture its two pages if you really need a copy.

Our casts of (bottom) the holotype of Nanotyrannus lancensis (CMNH 7541), (middle) the newly named holotype of N. lethaeus (BMRP 2002.4.1), and (top) T. rex (AMNH 5027). We published on CMNH 7541 in 2010 (http://bit.ly/3X5nCGm).

There's a @skeletoncrewpaleo.bsky.social episode where they talk about how researchers said Pachycephalosaurs couldn't have butted heads because they would have gotten brain injuries all the time, until they realized the animals doing it today do it *despite* getting brain injuries all the time.
