New paper with @gustavoburin and Travis Park We use morphometric methods to quantitatively test the validity of the "ecomorphotype hypothesis" used in fossil true seal taxonomy, finding it to be an invalid method to expand the hypodigm of fossil phocids. peerj.com/articles/17592/

[GIANTS] #Leviathan, a mythical sea monster that really existed!🐋For 5 million years, this super predator swam in the same waters as #Megalodon. 🦈It had teeth and jaws similar to those of orcas, but it is a distant relative of the sperm whale. 👉🏼 naturalsciences.be/en/museum/exhi…

Happy #FossilDay! Oct 15 is the #FossilDay in Japan! Here is the first fossil crocodile (the one I was holding) from Japan! Interestingly, this crocodile - now known as Toyotamaphimeia taiwanica - was found from Taiwan and published in 1936 when Taiwan was part of Japan.

Born #OnThisDay in 1934 was astronomer, astrobiologist and science communicator Carl Sagan. As well as being one of the world's greatest science communicators, he worked on the Viking and Mariner missions. Listen to his famous 'Pale Blue Dot' monologue: bit.ly/2ANRX30
