Shocking that people see peer support as viable only if transactional (they will be paid for it, can result in career advancement, or, disgustingly, romantic favours) and not as, a right thing to do for colleagues that might be struggling with mental health and job market.

Founders of modern paleontology, and their contributions to systemic racism, classism and sexism (🧵) Henry Osborn (1857–1935), responsible for naming of Tyrannosaurus & Velociraptor; president of ANHM. Co-founder of the American Eugenics Society. Contributing to books later praised by Hitler.

The first attempt to reconstruct Tyrannosaurus rex, in the 1905 paper in which Osborn named it and a panel mount of the skeleton (middle), from the 1916 paper in which Osborn described and named it.

There's a new paper out in Papers in Palaeontology describing some very fragmentary material attributed to a new 'rhabdodontid'. I'm surprised the authors didn't delay publication after our Nature paper from six weeks ago, in which we demonstrated that 'Rhabdodontidae' was paraphyletic....

Have you ever heard of an allonautilus? The fuzzy sea peach at the top of my oil painting is the extremely rare allonautlius. Its only been documented in the wild a couple of times. *more in comments* #nautilus #allonautilus #marinelife #cephalopods #wildlifeart #oilpainting 🐡 🦑 #deepseamining

Oil painting of two nautili and one allonautilus on a blue gradient background with patches of copper mica. Each cephalopod has an atomic diagram around it like a halo.

Once again I am trying to understand the bonkers #fossil kangaroo Simosthenurus occidentalis, using pics of the incredible Green Waterhole Cave specimen @ South Australian Museum. #paleoart , kangaroo, #mammals peeps! Wanna start a 🧪🧵discussion on sthenurine roos here? How does this roo do?

Finished today with a nice little job: rebuilding an ulna of the largest-ever kangaroo, Procoptodon goliah. Shame about the missing bit in the middle!

#FossilFriday rearticulated arthrodire placoderm head. Very cool, and not just for playing with the hinges like a suit of armour
