Hiya, #Bluesky! For my 600+ new followers, let me introduce myself...
I'm Danny Anduza — dinosaur worker, field paleontologist, and full-time science communicator. I'll be posting all kinds of fossil-related content, from field photos to livestream clips to 3D prints. It's so great to be here!

Some rich dolt is going to pay *millions* for this thing, and how much of it is even real?
I dearly wish the people who bid on these things would realize how much further that money would go in funding actual science. I'd name a new dinosaur after a donor

Scarcely have I arrived at the airport that I ran into two other paleontologists on their way to #SVP2025
At the risk of sounding goofy, this almost feels like a religious pilgrimmage. I'm stoked

Happy #FossilFriday! Here's an *enormous* ichthyosaur skull from the Triassic of Nevada, USA. This one might be a new species?
I was lucky enough to see this at an awesome temporary ichthyosaur exhibit at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno a couple months ago. Highly recommended

Despite incomplete knowledge, the fossil record is amazing. It's a disturbingly easy thought experiment to imagine living in a world where there's no such thing and we would never know about the existence of trilobites or ichthyosaurs. We're so lucky
the rock record giveth, and the rock record taketh away, but fossils remain the only source of direct physical evidence for ancient extinct species in the history of life

Once again I am taking my special traditional role in a malacological conference of being the person who asks bewildered students if they're aware that molluscs have a fossil record 😂
