Sadly, this year I won't make it to @EAVPalaeo #EAVP2025. Sprout II is too little & I'm too freshly postpartum to travel, do conference things! BUT am generously invited to send a poster, so now with @BdfJjl writing on Peterborough Oxford Clay dinos & marine critters (much fun)😊

Bositra buchii for #molluscmonday @keithduff21 proposed that it was bysally attached to floating organic matter (driftwood, algal fronds) the so-called "pendant" life habit. An abundant #bivalve species at many horizons within the Oxford Clay.
