Our first follow up from the Science paper: New paper on tooth morphology in the Grippia Bonebed - the oldest and most diverse Mesozoic marine tetrapod ecosystem. Paper open access here: njg.geologi.no/publications...
Dental and Dietary Disparity Among Marine Vertebrates from the Early Triassic (Spathian) of Svalbard – Life Bites the Dust, or A New Hope? - Norwegian Journal of Geology
The Early Triassic saw the recovery of ecosystems after the most severe mass extinction event in Earth’s history. However, the ecosystems of the Early Triassic and their patterns of recovery after the Permian-Triassic mass extinction are poorly known due to a scarce fossil record. This study uses dental material to provide information on the taxonomic […]

I guess now would be a good time for my first post here. Yesterday we published a new paper on the incredible ecosystem of tetrapods and other vertebrates in Science. It has been years of work - but we got there in the end. Thank you to everyone the contributed to this work ❤️
An early Triassic bone bed excavated at 78°N changes the story about how marine life recovered after the most cataclysmic extinction in Earth history ~252 million years ago.
