Did you miss our Paleo 2026 symposium?
Join Dr. Julien Divay as he explains the surprising utility of fish microvertebrate fossils, what they can tell us about the palaeoenvironment, and what further work is needed!

Twitch screenshot of me in my office. Dominating the background are life-sized 3D prints of Pachycephalosaurus and Majungasaurus skulls, plus other assorted paleontological knicknacks
We're starting off the week's #Twitch #paleontology streams with some fossil science Q&A and the assembly of a big leatherback turtle 3D-printed model.

Trilobite found by a friend near Alnif, Morocco.
This one is preserved with clear segmentation and typical body shape. I used the macro mode on my phone camera to capture the details.

The radioactive Hagerman Horse fossils are back in my studio! It’s finally time to finish this jawbone for an event out west that I, as a lover of art, wide open spaces, and wild things, am VERY excited about. More coming soon!
