Bittersweet to see our obituary of Mark Norell published in @CurrentBiology this week. Godspeed Mark, from Pete, Jim, and me--and the whole AMNH community.
Check out our alternative plaster jacketing method using air filter media instead of burlap at prep table in the poster season @SVP_vertpaleo #2022SVP #FossilFriday

Finally! Great news this #FossilFriday from @SVP_vertpaleo. #FieldTraningAward in honor of #MikeGetty finally moves forward. Mike, you are on our mind everyday, you passed on your tricks of the trade in digging #dinosaurs. Please donate if you are able members.vertpaleo.org/donate…
Prepped a fossil on #FossilFriday in the lab for the first time in a looooong time. So good to be back @FieldMuseum 😊 If only there is #HappyHour!!

Proud to present a Fossil Canyon, a family card game~ and I'm the science lead! Play it with family, play it in the field! I'd appreciate it if you consider backing this project! #FossilFriday #FossilCanyonGame kickstarter.com/projects/550…
For your #FossilFriday, sign up to get an update on #fossilcanyongame on fossilcanyon.com. It's a fun STEM card game for kids developed by an awesome family member @FieldMuseum!
I wish I can put Gina Viglietti's illustration for this but for today's #FossilFriday, check out @Piazoic's new research: eurekalert.org/e/JpW2 via @FieldMuseum @EurekAlert
Tonight we virtually celebrate volunteers @FieldMuseum. We are grateful to ALL our #volunteers’ dedications and valuable work. Enormous gratitude and congrats to Irene Broede, who marks 35(!) yrs in the fossil prep lab. She’s def not on the twitter but here is to Irene🥂🎉🦖

I am BEYOND RELIEVED to report that the fossil showed up yesterday afternoon, after being missing for a week. I have no idea what happened and @FedEx didn't reveal anything when I called for an update after seeing a departure scan appear on the tracking timeline.
This is the ultimate paleo nightmare. Please find it @FedEx!
I'm gutted that it appears that @FedEx has lost an important fossil. It was the single best therocephalian ever collected from Antarctica, and likely a new species, on its way back from preparation by @AkikoS9. #FossilFriday
May I please get 2 followers to copy and re-post this tweet? I'm trying to demonstrate that someone is always listening.
