Haven't posted for #FossilFriday in a long time, and I'm a day late - oh well! Large semionotid fish, maybe Lophionotus @gombessagirl. From the Lower #Jurassic Moenave Formation @stgeorgedino in SW #Utah. This is one of 100+ specimens going into new exhibits under construction.
This news story this evening is already having positive results. Three excavation companies have already contacted us to help.

A very cool new 🦕paper led by Adams et al! Among the most famous of dinosaur tracks, the 'swimming sauropod' tracks collected by RT Bird from Texas in 1940 aren't actually swimming traces according to this new study! ('25 is shaping up to be a year for cool 🦕trace studies...)

My predecessor as State Paleontologist, Dave Gillette passed away on Feb. 10th. He will be missed. He oversaw the excavation of the Huntington Mammoth. @PrehistoricMus @PaleoSoc @utahgeological
#FossilFriday Another phytosaur skull collected by our team from the lowermost Church Rock Member, Chinle Formation in SW Utah in 2022. Our @stgeorgedino Jim Williams is doing an excellent job with the prep!

For #FossilFriday here’s part of the type specimen of the Zimbabwean dinosaur Syntarsus, housed in the NHMZ, one of the most abundantly and well preserved early theropods known currently 🦖🇿🇼
We need help with excavation of bone beds at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site in SW Utah. We need heavy excavation equipment to move a large fossil-rich rock pile and in place rock above the bone beds. The City will break ground for an electrical substation in early April.
I know we are all very proud of contributing to chapter 6! What an incredible group of people to work with assembling this massive chapter right through the holidays last year. Fantastic leadership by John Foster keeping us organized! #Jurassic #ichnology #paleontology
Shout out to a new #ichno book 🔖"Vertebrate Ichnology: Tetrapod Tracks and Trackways". Honored to have co-authored Chpt 6 on *Jurassic vertebrate tracks* alongside an incredible team! It's a whopping 212 pages alone👣 educate.elsevier.com/book/de… #Paleontology #Jurassic #Ichnology

Utah' Cambrian record is a critically significant record of the initial diversification of multicellular life. The story is largely ignored in Utah. @BLMUtah @utahgeological @UtahPaleo
🚨Paper alert🚨Meet Polygoniella turrelli, our latest addition to the remarkable Cambrian Marjum Biota of Utah. This 500-million-year-old sponge displays a complex anatomy that has no equivalent amongst poriferans of that time. @Ldelmouro @InvertebratePal doi.org/10.1098/rsos.231845

For #FossilFriday, Shucaris ankylosskelos, a radiodont from the Chengjiang Biota of Cambrian China. Just formally published last month, fossils of it have been known since 1995.
