Wilson-Mantilla KPg Lab

Howdy NAPC delegates! Some of us are planning a group bike ride for the Wednesday of the meeting. So if you're interested in a change of pace and seeing some great Michigan scenery, let me know!

@Alex_Brannick Fantastic work Alex! This is an important contribution. @UWPaleo @UWBiology @burkemuseum @Wilson_KPg_Lab

Graduate students and postdocs in vertebrate paleontology! @burkemuseum will be offering collections study grants this fall, with applications due November 10th. Full details here: burkemuseum.org/collections-an… #FossilFriday

Job alert: tenure-track assistant or tenured associate professor of early hominin paleobiology or paleoecology in the University of Chicago's Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy! apply.interfolio.com/84627

Hey yall plz retweet! I'm searching for a post-doctoral researcher who is interested in integrative paleobotany and/or plant systematics. If you have enthusiasm for plant fossils, anatomy, and phylogenetics, contact me!

I will be hiring a PhD student to work on shark extinctions using the fossil record in early 2021 (if things go back to "normal" then). If you are interested, or know of someone, please let me know. I encourage underrepresented students to apply.

#Virtual Midcontinent #Paleobotanical Colloquium is going on right now!! Over 200 registered participants from all over the world with all career stages and paths represented. Wow!!! @burkemuseum @UWBiology

Paleontologists are trying to dispel a myth about what life was like when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. washington.edu/news/2019/06/2… via @uwnews @gpwilson11 #MammalMonday

It's not all #fossils at the DIG! Sedimentology/stratigraphy are critical aspects of #paleontology #fieldwork . Here are some DIG participants learning how to measure the distance of their fossil localities to the K-Pg boundary #10YearsOfDIG #GeologyRocks

Hey, that's me! Truly the most exciting day of my life: finally my name is on a plaque! #teaching #geology

Nice work @WaigePilson of @StrombergLab and @Wilson_KPg_Lab!! You're an awesome #teacher! @burkemuseum

Congratulations to Stromberg Lab grads Alex Lowe and @WaigePilson on their recent GSA Student Research Grants. Good luck with the summer fieldwork! @Wilson_KPg_Lab

Our most recent paper on #Mesozoic #mammal #ecospace pnas.org/content/early/… with @UWBiology grad alum @Meng_Chen_ and @burkemuseum paleobotanist @caestromberg. Flowering plants, new teeth and no dinosaurs: New study sheds light on th... washington.edu/news/2019/04/3…

Wow. Good day. All looked lost til the last hour of the day and @DinoMohabey pulled another rabbit out of his hat. Perhaps the last sauropod dinosaur to walk in India and beyond. Now to figure out how to excavate it!

Yesterday we started the 2nd leg of our fieldwork shifting to the Nand-Dongargaon basin. @DinoMohabey gave the team the low down on these uppermost Cretaceous deposits and @diapophysis and the team scored some of our best fossil discoveries thus far. . . more on that later!

Another good day in the field. @diapophysis here scoping out vertebrate microfossils in infratrappean rocks from quarry spoil piles. Croc fish turtle. #india #paleontology

Check out what the DIG is up to.
