Co-host @MattBorths brought some primate fossil curator facts together for this beautifully animated video!
Your fingernails are evidence of your primate heritage! It was a lot of fun working on this anatomical story with @TED_ED @augenblicknyc & @DukeLemurCenter ed.ted.com/lessons/claws-vs-…

Had to check to make sure this pose was real...the dynamic process of burial and fossil preservation can produce some intriguing postures.

Check out this oxyaenid tooth @MattBorths found with @BlochLab near the PETM in Wyoming! The PETM marks the warmest moment in the Cenozoic. This little carnivore managed to munch its way through the heat!
Paleontologists Keegan Melstrom (@gulosuchus) and Randall Irmis of the @NHMU analyzed the insane teeth of Mesozoic crocs, discovering that multiple lineages evolved a plant-based diet!
"Veggie-crocs, Lex. Veggie-crocs!"
This great picture from @CurrieMuseum of a Pachyrhinosaurus limb bone is a great example of why fossil preparators and technicians are SO IMPORTANT.
Dinosaur fossils like this Pachyrhinosaurus bone we recently uncovered don’t always look so great in the field, but our skilled technicians and volunteers really make them shine in the lab #FossilFriday #fieldworkfriday #dinosaurs #paleontology #science #alberta #travelalberta

Finally, a huge thanks to @alanhturner, @CrocHolliday, and @pmo2112 for their willingness to share data. And my wonderful fiancé Ellen who painted this adorable Pakasuchus getting ready to nom a flower.
Check out the most complete Cretaceous theropod dinosaur from Brazil: Vespersaurus! Congrats to Langer and colleagues for this new noasaurid.
Vespersaurus paranaensis! A new dinosaur species published today by Max Langer and colleagues, including Martin Ezcurra from @MacnVp. It is the most complete neotheropod discovered in Brazil so far! The paper is Open Access!

They flipped the skull of the Tufts-Love rex and exposed the roof of the mouth including an incredibly well preserved vomer. @burkemuseum #fossilfriday
A cast of the narluga skull can be found in the NARWHAL special exhibit at @NMNH!
In the late 80s, an Inuit hunter killed a strange whale and kept its skull on his roof for years. A new study finally confirms that the animal was a narluga--a hybrid whale born to a beluga father and a narwhal mother. theatlantic.com/science/arch…
