Great to have Marianne Brasil from Western Washington University visiting #AmniotaLab to work in the collections! 🦴🔍 She studies primate evolution combining modern primate data and the fossil record.
Thank you for sharing your passion for paleoanthropology with us!

We were delighted to host Dr. Khizar Samiullah from Ghazi University 🇵🇰 at #AmniotaLab
He shared his work on Neogene mammal fossils from the classical Siwalik sequences, and highlighted the work still ahead💪

Some of our past and current #AmniotaLab members just got back from the #CPEG meeting in Zurich so happy to have met so many fantastic and inspiring people!

Huge thanks to @cpeg-cpb25.bsky.social for a great conference, and for recognizing our poster as one of the best! An honor to be part of it 🙌

Just out! This #AmniotaLab study led by 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 on 𝘗𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘺𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴 🦎 across the Balearics finds that bite force & morphology vary within populations, but don’t scale up to macroevolutionary scales
