Our recent fieldwork in the early Paleocene Punta Peligro area of Patagonia, Argentina 🇦🇷, finding lots of crocodile, turtle, & mammal fossils 🐊🐢🦥, with Diego Pol, Patagonian Fossil Turtles 🐢🇦🇷🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♂️🇬🇷, Cecily Nicholl, Miranta Kouvari (she/they) 🎨🦥, Santiago Reuil & others EarthSciences UCL MuseoEgidioFeruglio The Royal Society & National Geographic-funded


It’s here! We are very pleased to share our preprint introducing the palaeoverse R package📦, hosted on EarthArXiv.🌍 eartharxiv.org/repository/vie…




Fully funded 4-year conservation palaeobiology PhD studentship with me EarthSciences UCL using the fossil record of birds to evaluate the impact of climate + early humans on their taxonomic and ecomorphological diversity over the last few million years 🐦🦅🦆🦤🦜 rb.gy/ggwhju


🚨Palaeoverse: Workshop and Hackathon🚨 For this #FossilFriday, we are excited to announce that registration is now open for our Workshop and Hackathon event EarthSciences UCL (7–8th September 2023). Event details and registration: palaeoverse.org/events/worksho… #palaeoverse #rstats

I'll be advertising a 3-year Natural Environment Research Council-funded postdoctoral researcher position EarthSciences UCL soon, using histological approaches to reconstruct growth rates & thermophysiology of crocodylomorphs over their evolutionary history, with Ryan Felice & Alexandra Houssaye

Our paper describing the The Palaeoverse Community package is out in Methods in Ecology and Evolution! Have a look below at Miranta Kouvari (she/they) 🎨🦥’s awesome video to find out more👇 EarthSciences UCL


The image I created with Cecily Nicholl introducing The Palaeoverse Community R package was chosen for this month's Methods in Ecology and Evolution issue! So proud🥹🥹🥹 📰 Check out our paper here: doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…


We are proud to announce that the University of Bristol ( @BristolUnil ) will be hosting #ProgPal2024 on 17th-20th June 2024! Many thanks to Natalia Jagielska (Natalia Jagielska) for designing our amazing logo featuring Bristol’s local dino Thecodontosaurus!



Very happy to be part of this effort, led by Juan Martin Leardi, presenting the phylogenetic nomenclature of Notosuchia ✨🐊

Our new paper on the endocranial anatomy of the gavialoid crocodylian Eosuchus lerichei is now officially published online! Led by myself with Sophie Boerman, Gwendal Perrichon, Jeremy Martin, Thierry Smith, Johan Vellekoop and Phil Mannion doi.org/10.1002/ar.255…


Great set of presentations The PalAss meeting in Erlangen from @es_ucl researchers Paul M. J. Burke, Ana Laura S. Paiva, Cecily Nicholl, Christopher Dean, Lewis A. Jones, wendy wen, Devin Hoffman, Sarah Jamison-Todd, & Joel Heath, including a best talk prize for wendy wen! #PalAss24
