Happy #FossilFriday! This is the skull of a subadult #Einiosaurus (MOR 456 8-8-87-1) from the #TwoMedicineFormation (~75 mya) of #Montana. In a young Einiosaurus like this, the nose horn is small & upright but as Einiosaurus grew it became larger & curved forward over the snout.

To you and yours, Merychippus🐴 and Happy New Year.

we're halfway through our #dinodig22 fieldwork! wrapped up @ the neverending Crystal Geyser #dinosaur quarry after 1-month w/a skeleton crew (no pun intended). pulled >600 bones. best finds incl. baby sauropod teeth & the 1st Falcarius max. bone enough here to last a century.

big day today! Willie Freimuth & I depart for a joint expedition to the east Gobi Basin to bridge our mid-K work in the western US to Asia. 1 month + amazing team @naturalsciences NC State BioSci @ChinzorigMpc Ryan Tucker 福島県立博物館【公式】 & Okayama Univ = endless possibilities

Wrapping up after 1.5 months in #Mongolia, a time filled with extraordinary landscapes, wonderful people, and some pretty dang cool #dinosaur fossils. ‘Til next time…

Some highlight photos from this year's joint team of #NCSM and #IPMAS in🇲🇳, where the extensive early Late Cretaceous rocks🧗‍♂️ are distributed in the southeastern #Gobi for four weeks, collecting thousands of🦖 and🦕🦴🦴🦴. Since 1995, any #paleocrews haven’t been working around.

How do you know what an animal eats if it doesn't have any teeth? Find out how a turtle's skull reveals its diet! New research by Brenlee Shipps , Brandon Peecook & Kenneth D. Angielczyk: doi.org/10.1002/ar.251…

It’s been a whirlwind week for vert paleo: under the radar my first Masters student, Brenlee Shipps, published the main finding of her thesis. Organismal biologists can use the fine details of tooth shape to infer diet, but what about animals with no teeth? ❌🦷

On this #FossilFriday, Dr. Josh Hedge (He/Him) seems pretty excited (deleteriously so?) about the cast of “Baby Louie,” a perinatal caenagnathid #dinosaur that just arrived on loan to Lindsay Zanno lab @naturalsciences from The Children's Museum. Original 📸: Qinglongshan National Geopark, 2019

Happy #FossilFriday from #Mongolia! Here’s the business end of the exquisite troodontid Gobivenator (found by Chinzorig 😉). One of the many crazy-cool specimens at #IPMAS, who are graciously hosting me & Dr. Josh Hedge (He/Him) before some Lindsay Zanno-led #Gobi fieldwork

Happy #FossilFriday, a ready to heading to the #Gobi fieldwork in #Mongolia to clean out some leftover from last year fieldwork joint Lindsay Zanno NC Museum of Natural Sciences & @IPMAS with Willie Freimuth Dr. Josh Hedge (He/Him) Ryan Tucker & explore more discoveries. See u back from #Gobi

#FossilFriday Wrapping up #Madex23 and we worked 6 sites in southeastern gobi & discovered EK giant ankylosaur, theropods, early LK therizinosaur, multiple individuals of hadrosaurs, ?alvarezsaurid & many small neighbors + geo samplings for understanding this time bin. #dinodig23

Bittersweet to leave the #Gobi of #Mongolia—where new #dinosaurs, landscapes, and friendships abound—and return to the “real world”. Very grateful to Lindsay Zanno Chinzorig Ryan Tucker and all those involved in the #MADEx23 expedition for a fulfilling 1.5 months ☺️

Meet Adam Adam Moore, one of our #TravelWithTilly recipients! Adam is a vertebrate paleontologist who studies how the climate of the Cretaceous impacted dinosaurs. Read more here: wp.me/p8kpy9-6QV

Congrats Adam Moore! Very proud of you. One of those talented students #Palaeotwitter should definitely keep an eye on!🦖

Adam Adam Moore took a project I (& Lindsay Zanno) gave him and ran with it all the way to his first SVP #2023SVP (via generous funding from #TravelWithTilly travel grant Time Scavengers)! A budding scientist NC State MEAS & a good dude, excited to see what his future holds 😎

Work like this is the standard of excellence that all osteological descriptions of new dinosaurs should aspire too. Thorough, with excellent figures. And well founded inferences. Congrats to Haviv and his coauthors. doi.org/10.1002/ar.255…
