nice!!!!! looking forward to reading it

Gen et comb nov good enough I think? @rv-pegas.bsky.social

Your Muttaburrasaurus is gorgeous!

In some cases there are good chunks of gill arches that are straight. But gill arches should have filaments on just one side; Bakiribu has them on both sides. Preservation is very bad, but this is observable in some places, but was ignored by Unwin et al

This is actually hilarious
I don't want to give too much spoilers, but I can't resist... I gotta say, at least SIX of those are gonna come out of my upcoming papers this year 🤣🤣

Thanks, @skyemcdavid.com <3
A reply is in the works and we do have plenty of new microscopic evidence that will reinforce the pterosaurian nature of Bakiribu. It will take us some time to wrap up the manuscript, though.

I've just added nine new/revised #paleoart print options at my store: Spinosaurus with fireflies! Omeisaurus! Psittacosaurus! Tylosaurus! Smilodon! And More!

Check them out at www.markwitton.co.uk/category/all... (and remember that my Patrons can get 20% off all orders!)

that was the intention! thanks 😁

My new blog is live! 🦴 Pterosaurology.com is born.

Expect pterosaurs, paleo news, opinions, and takes on media and museums — from a lifelong paleonerd/paleontologist.

Hope you enjoy!

This preprint (from authors who have not seen the specimen) is biased by anatomical misinterpretations and overlooks tooth histology and implantation. I suggest readers remain cautious. We also have further data that will help elucidate the matter.

Stay tuned!

Hi! I just replied you on X and will paste my reply here: I'm terribly sorry, that was definitely not my intention. Perhaps that was phrased poorly. I did mean to support your conclusions, and then to just refer readers to the opposing views so they would have context. Did this come off differently?

Very exciting new study in PeerJ on #azhdarchids, with two new taxa (Gobiazhdarcho and Tsogtopteryx), multiple new clade names and new placements for key taxa... peerj.com/articles/197...

Thank you Henry!! And thanks again for the thoughtful review!! 😊

Thanks for the warm welcome to them!

With the wonderful art of Zhao Chuang! Gobiazhdarcho is the larger, red one; Tsogtopteryx is the smaller, blue one.

The article is OA here! peerj.com/articles/197...

⚠️Pterosaur alert🔔

Please welcome Gobiazhdarcho and Tsogtopteryx, two azhdarchids from the Bayanshiree Fm. of the Gobi Desert, Mongolia!

Despite known only from cervical remains, these elements are surprisingly informative for Azhdarchidae and help us ID them quite well [+]

We're proud to reveal our new posters! A lot of effort went into the big mural-style poster especially. These will soon all be shipped out to backers who ordered them, and eventually we'll open an online store where you can buy them as well!

Some issues with this. "Looks like"? Let's see the CT scans of the skeleton and teeth: that will tell us if they are morphologically similar to Aenocyon dirus rather than Canis lupus.

"Act like"?!?!?! We don't **KNOW** what they acted like! Kind of a big issue in paleo!

I'm so happy to see this out!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!! Awesome!

Skeleton of turkey (by Matthew Wedel) marked with the derived traits from various points on the dinosaur family tree as found in that species.

As I share around this time of year, the various derived features on the turkey skeleton, and where they first emerge on the phylogeny of dinosaurs:

Thank you so much, Henry!! I'm really looking forward to your upcoming works too! Fragmentary pterosaurs deserve more love

Please welcome the first named pterosaur species from Japan: Nipponopterus mifunensis!!
Thanks to N. Ikegami and X. Zhou for allowing me to take part in this study!
With the magnificent artwork of Zhao Chuang

As well as of its phylogenetic affinities.
Here's the paper in case you want to know more!

The specimen is a partial neck vertebra. Despite fragmentary, neck vertebrae are superbly informative regarding azhdarchid diversity and phylogeny. Luckily, enough anatomical detail is preserved, allowing for the identification of autapomorphies...
