Happy #FossilFriday! Today we celebrate Jurassic Foundation Grantee Julian Silva Junior, a palaeontologist postdoctoral researcher at São Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil.
Julian’s research focuses on vertebrate palaeontology, functional morphology, and biomechanical evolution in sauropod
Happy #FossilFriday! Today we celebrate Jurassic Foundation Grantee Lutendo Mukwevho, a Ph.D. student at the Evolutionary Studies Institute, University of the Witwatersrand.
Lutendo’s research focuses on early theropod material from the Elliot Formation of South Africa.
Congratulations, Lutendo!
Happy #FossilFriday! Here’s an exciting new study describing a tiny Early Cretaceous plant-eating dinosaur that is helping palaeontologists better understand the early evolution of European ornithopods, made possible in part by a Jurassic Foundation grant.

Happy #FossilFriday! Here’s a fantastic sauropod discovery from 2024 that gives us a rare glimpse of basal rebbachisaurid evolution in the Cretaceous of Argentina.
Congratulations to the research team on adding an important new piece to the puzzle of sauropod evolution!

Titanosaurusten saari!
🦕I am extremely grateful to my colleagues and The Jurassic Foundation for making this project possible, which has marked a milestone in our knowledge of European titanosaurs and which we are convinced is on its way to becoming a reference work in the field.
Happy #FossilFriday! Here’s a major sauropod study that reshapes what we thought we knew about the famous “dinosaur island” of Hațeg (latest Cretaceous, Romania), made possible in part by a Jurassic Foundation grant awarded to Dr. Díez Díaz.

Happy #FossilFriday! Check out some exciting research that came out last year about tracksites in Chile, made possible in part by a grant from the Jurassic Foundation.
Congratulations to the authors!
