Great to see this new fossorial #Triassic #temnospondyl finally named (Ninumbeehan) and described in @royalsociety Proc B by my buddy @calvincfso and colleagues (with great art by @SerpenIllus)! Link: doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…

I first saw some of these specimens in 2018 when I was visiting UW to look at their metoposaurid bonebed material (CC @AaronKufner) and have been out to the site as well. It's really exciting to see the growing body of small Late Tr temnos in N. America #MoreThanMetoposaurids

Apologies photos refused to post

Many of the specimens of Ninumbeehan dookoodukah were collected during my first field season with @UWGeologyMuseum @PaleoBadger and @calvincfso. The photo on the left is the block that contained the holotype, and the other is a referred specimen.

Interested in using (or drawing) skeletal diagrams? Stop by today's poster session at #2024SVP to chat with @SkyeMcDavid and myself - we have ideas and we're looking for feedback! #SVP2024

I'm incredibly grateful to @PaleoBadger for this field experience and proud to have contributed to making experiences like this possible for other undergrads at @UWGeologyMuseum during my time as a grad student

I was a little surprised to see an entire skull roof of a #temnospondyl fall into my hand 😅 This experience really cemented my career trajectory, so you could say I'm pretty fond of N. dookoodukah.

I'm so glad to finally have this out that I'm making a (brief) return to Twitter or whatever this website is called now! Check out the #OA paper in Cal's post!

I’m excited to share a newly published species—Meet Ninumbeehan dookoodukah! @AaronKufner @incisorial @PaleoBadger @UWGeologyMuseum royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Welcome Ninumbeehan dookoodukah from the Jelm Formation!! Congrats to @calvincfso, @AaronKufner, and everyone else who worked on the paper!

@DeadBovids Congrats! That was a fantastic defense!

#temnovember2023 day 11: Rhinesuchus #Temnospondyl were an incredibly diverse and long lived group, however, they weren't always at the top of the food chain,as shown by this #Rhinesuchus becoming food for a #Inostrancevia in what one day will become Africa #temnovember #permian

Day 10 of #temnovember2023 #temnovember Xenobrachyops allos, a brachyopid from the Triassic of Queensland.

#temnovember2023 day 3: Astreptorhachis So for the third day of #temnovember, a funky guy, the high back #Astreptorhachis (cause #Platyhystrix cant be the only one having fun), coming from the late #Carboniferous of NA #paleoart #sciart #amphibian #temnospondyl #FossilFriday

#temnovember2023 day 1: Stegops For the second day #temnovember we have #Stegops, a small #temnospondyl from the late #Carboniferous, notable for having spiky ornamentations on the back of its skull. #paleoart #Sciart #amphibian

@tillytilder @CalebBohus @t_hotchner Seconded
