#FossilFriday New work by @Formorphology just out in Current Biology quantifies burst swimming speeds in mosasaurs! Based on her results, this is how we imagined a fully-grown Tylosaurus could successfully breach. Paper below
Check out this video summary of our new mosasaur paper!

You can visit the holotype, PMNS 8029-"Heath"-on display at the Perot Museum! "Heath" preserves a nearly complete skull & partial skeleton. Shout out & thank you to my friend & colleague Kiersten for letting us use her skeletal for highlighting how much of the beast is preserved!

Look if you’re going to cover Avatar on @sjrpod, you have to bring in an expert @Formorphology! Coming soon. 🔥🔥 🔥

@empiremagazine solicited questions for James Cameron and they picked one of mine! How cool! ☺️
Thank you, @JimCameron 🫡 Great answer.
As our Path To Pandora series comes to an end, we’re going out with a bang. You posed questions to James Cameron – on #Avatar, Aliens, Alita and more – and he answered them with candour and meticulous detail. Praise Eywa.
