Zorro is thrilled that I brought him home a stuffed Dunkleosteus from #svp2023 to celebrate National Black Cat Day! (Plus, suitcases are actually boxes.) #nationalblackcatday

COVID + flu shots = ready for #SVP2023!

(Is my talk ready? Heheh... it'll be ready when it needs to be.)

For #FossilFriday, if you’re going to be at #SVP2023, my talk on #Spinosaurus feeding will be on Saturday, October 21, at 3pm. Art by Christopher DiPiazza. #Dinosaurs #Theropods #Paleontology

For #FossilFriday: gearing up to give my presentation tonight for the virtual component of #SVP2023!

Hi #svp2023! I figure I should make a post if I'm going to be telling folks where to find me--I'm sam, and my main contribution to paleontology is the ongoing construction of a raptor costume!

Honored to connect w/Evan Saitta @jwiemann.bsky.social & Holly Latta about the possibility of determining the sex of extinct animals from deep time (work presented at #SVP2023)! Thank you so much, Rose Pastore!

In a little over a week, I’ll be opening the Romer session at #SVP2023 with a talk on the functional diversification of lumbar vertebrae in Paleogene mammals!

Here's a cast of the type lower jaw of the ground sloth Paramylodon harlani on display at Cincinnati's Museum of Natural History and Science. Original fossil discovered @ Big Bone Lick, Kentucky, later lost in a fire; only a few casts like this remain. #FossilFriday #internationalslothday #svp2023 🧪

The mental peace of not travelling through US airports with the current climate has made the fomo of #svp2023 disappear.

For Fossil Friday: left femur of the extinct American mastodon, Mammut americanum, collected in 1739 (!) from the famed Big Bone Lick fossil locality in Kentucky, US. Specimen is currently on display at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris, France. #FossilFriday #BigBoneLick #SVP2023

This Wednesday, our PalaeoPoems volunteer Lucia Snyderman is presenting her undergraduate thesis research on the extinction of the Great Auk in the Colbert Poster Session at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology conference! #SVP2023

Had a great time talking about #Lystrosaurus at #SVP2023 !! So good to see everyone, and watch so many young scientists presenting on such cool work! 🧪🦴🦖

If you are going to be at #SVP2023 come check out my talk this Friday afternoon 1:45pm! I'll be talking about some updates on my research on fossil and extant ray-finned fish neuroanatomy and evolution!

Trix the T. rex vs the JP jeep - who would win? Come to my talk at #SVP2023 to find out what my newest musculoskeletal (physics) simulations suggest. I'm on Saturday at 9:15
(Fair warning: I'm not actually going to animate the jeep in front of T. rex. Probably)
