Giant's Causeway! A result of Bénard convection and Voronoi Pattern.

In Cambridge for #PalAss23 ! How can trace fossil unveil the mystery of life? How to quantitatively identify the trace makers?! Welcome to my talk at Session 7 (✪▽✪)

Such a wonderful day that I could show Prof. Gabriela Mangano and Prof. Luis Buatois from USask Geological Sciences the trace fossils at Natural History Museum Science at the Natural History Museum . I hope one day we could together make Ichnology more quantitative!

So good to have Dr. Caroline Carolina Gutiérrez here at Natural History Museum, giving us the wonderful talk on the enigmatic trace fossil Dictyodora (✪▽✪). Wow, I even don't know we have that in our museum before her visit! Amazing!

My recent paper on Quantitative Methods in Trace fossils: using frequency spectrum and correlation functions to determine trace-makers, and quantify the taxonomy of traces. Codes and free software are uploaded to zenodo.org/records/102595…. The first of the exciting series papers!

Lines in the sand: if all we have in fossil evidence is the marks left by an animal in sediments, how can we understand the species? Zekun Wang & Imran Rahman use quantitative ichnology to solve this knotty problem with Gordia onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pa

Excited to get such a good evaluation for my MSCA proposal, enabling me to continue my cool simulations Imran Rahman on trace fossils at Science at the Natural History Museum 😀

Ah, welcome to my talk at University of Buenos Aries Carolina Gutiérrez~ Fascinating quantitative approaches for trace fossil analyses: from Numbers to Simulations😆😆😆: youtube.com/live/Efl3KfZ6F… 11am 26th, Buenos Aries time~

Such beautiful Psammichnites and Protopalaeodictyon from Middle Cambrian in Xuzhou, China.

Thrilled to see our work on Tribrachidium simulations published! Proud to have contributed a new coupled Computational Fluid Dynamic-Discrete Element Method technique to quantify the trajectories of real food particles over this organism: bit.ly/4f8xrKH

Excited to share our latest findings Science at the Natural History Museum! Using CFD-DEM, we modeled trace formation in various environments and identified subaerial morphological instabilities, frequency anlyses suggest mollusc-like pioneers from Cambrian ventured on land first! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Very pleased to share our latest Science at the Natural History Museum paper in Royal Society Publishing on simulating the formation of trace fossils, with applications for the colonization of land by animals. Led by Zekun Wang with Neil Davies, @the_palaeoninja and Nicholas Minter doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…

New vector-based methods on dissimilarity gets published Imran Rahman! Interesting to see how it works in calibrating behavioral and tiering diversification during Ediacaran-Cambrian transition through trace fossil records 😆 bit.ly/3ON2BMv

Good news! This fantastic received enough citations to be a Top Cited Article! It opens a new world for quantitative analysis for locomotion-related trace fossils~ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… #TopCitedArticle Wiley in research

I have a systematic talk PalaeoPERCS on trajectory analyses and quantitative ichnology today! paleopercs.com/upcoming-talks/ Welcome to join us😎😎😎😎😎

Our exciting new quantitative studies on evolution of movement ecology and body profile of benthic metazoans during Ediacaran-Cambrian Transition 😍 using trajectory smoothness and integral scales!
