Checking out the internal nasal anatomy of a Bornean smooth-tailed treeshrew (Dendrogale melanura) today. Extremely pretty turbinals which are involved in detecting odors in the environment + warming/humidifying inhaled air. Downloaded from @MorphoSource #Scicomm #noses #skull

Why did so many of the groups that makeup modern terrestrial ecosystems originate and diversify in the Cretaceous? We propose that the “Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution” was sparked by a tectonic revolution that began ~100 Mya 🧵 authors.elsevier.com/a/1iDre2weQt7mz

@MattBorths @DukeLemurCenter @duke_smif Is that getting rescanned? 🙏

#FossilFriday A gorgeous skull of Eocene North American primate Smilodectes from @DukeLemurCenter gets a very close look in the microCT scanner @duke_smif

@evekboyle @STEMNext This is so unbelievably awesome 👏

Delighted to share that I have joined the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy as a Senior Policy Advisor & @STEMNext Fellow! As part of the Science & Society Team, I will work on so policy issues that are close to my heart. Truly a dream come true 🥲

NEW in the Contributions of the UMMP: "Phylogeny and Evolution of North American Nothartcinae (Mammalia, Primates) in the early Eocene of Wyoming," in which Philip Gingerich suggests notharctine diversity paralleled warming and cooling during the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum.

Great day/evening visit from @ingthingg & @rocksnriffs to the #CretaceousBighornProject camp. They have now forsaken the Eocene and agree that Mesozoic mammals are way more interesting. 📸 Tom Churchill. @megoriley @abigail_waller3 @HZMFulghum

@lukenweaver @BadlandsNPS @UMichPaleo @MichiganEarth @UMichEEB Seeee ya out there!

Six weeks in the Bighorn Basin, WY searching for Cretaceous mammals (and studying their rocky crypts) about to begin! Ann Arbor crew did a detour to @BadlandsNPS to get hyped. Follow #CretaceousBighornProject for updates! @UMichPaleo @MichiganEarth @UMichEEB

Peak heat dumping 💯💯💯

@MarcKissel The site description for Fantasia is just - "Skulls abundant"... It truly is the world of [a paleontologists] fantasy. It's also located inside a cloud 90% of the time so not too different from this gif!

"Don't you know anything about Fantasia? It's the world of human fantasy. Every part, every creature of it, is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefore, it has no boundaries."

@paleobob Thanks, Bob!!

@ingthingg Great paper!!

I’m thrilled to announce our paper on euarchontans on mountains is now out in JHE! Here are some pics of this amazing and unique site to entice you…. authors.elsevier.com/a/1gdHMAlZXQDmb

@PaleoDorien Thanks Dorien!!

@ingthingg Wow looks amazing, well done!! 🥳

And massive thanks to all the amazing field assistants that risked the perils of the Marmot Minefield to collect w/me @hess_jix @DavidTLedesma @AmyLynnAtwater @astrophocaudia @JLivelyPaleo @KajsaLundeen @Kristen_paleo @paleorocco @rocksnriffs @kellydthomson and many non-tweeters

@rocksnriffs /ourselves next year.

@IngridLundeen Just doing our part to confuse future paleontologists

Happy #FossilFriday! It's come to my attention that this past July, I wrote June on every bag/page of notes/specimen. I also did not write any field notes for the last 3 (I think??!) days of fieldwork. I am now left to piece together @rocksnriffs & my activities based on photos.

Note that we also named a locality "A Locality"..... Why? Why did we do that?

This is a cautionary tale about doing fieldwork when you're moving across the country and starting a new job a week after getting back from the field.
