New paper in @royalsociety ProcB! An unexpectedly large baleen whale fossil from the early Miocene of South Australia. Analysis of the baleen whale fossil record reveals that larger mysticetes first appeared in the Southern Hemisphere. @museumsvictoria doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…

Our new paper on toothed #whale jaws is out today in @CurrentBiology. The jaw of toothed whales is unique in that it is used for both #hearing & #feeding. We investigate what’s happened to the shape of the #jaw over 50 million years🐬 cell.com/current-biolog…

A female Phronima sedentaria - ‘monster in a barrel’ - on Scilly today! An amphipod crustacean, she parasitises salps, devouring them from the inside, forming a vessel to raise her young! These incredible creatures were the inspiration behind Ridley Scott’s 1979 film, Alien 👽

This week's batch of massively unserious roughly 20 minute sketches made during today's flocking #paleostream. This time I decided to draw a bunch of silly skies for whatever reason. Featuring Eoraptor, Kulindadromeus, Parksosaurus, and Megamonodontium.

Unbelievable find! Scientists have discovered 20,000+ octopuses clustered around deep-sea volcanic springs—the largest known ‘octopus garden’ to date. This latest discovery highlights how much we still don’t know about the deep-sea. pew.org/3r3T3Vb 📽️: @MBARI_News

Arenaerpeton belongs to the same family of temnospondyls as Koolasuchus, the last known temnospondyl. It shows that chugutisaurids were already beginning to attain large sizes in the early Triassic in Australia.
