#FossilFriday A presacral rib from the tyrannosaur, Gorgosaurus libratus is our featured fossil. This particular rib is special because it preserves an uncinate scar. To find out what this means, and it’s significance to palaeontologists, Yan-yin Wang on Oct. 30 at 3 PM

Anyone for #ThyreophoraThursday? A few weeks ago #PALEO419 was doing an overview of Thyreophora and Sauropodomorpha. Unfortunately sauropodomorpha doesn't alliterate as well with a day of the week ... SO enjoy Pinacosaurus in all of its ornate glory! #paleontology #UAlberta

I am entirely late on this, but I recently published a paper on my undergraduate thesis when I was at George Mason university titled the evolution of respiratory systems in Theropoda and Paracrocodylomorpha, the end-Triassic extinction. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Turtles were common during the late Cretaceous in Alberta, and their fossilized shell fragments like this one have been found not only in the southern badlands but up here in the northwestern Wapiti Formation! #FossilFriday

#FossilFriday from last weeks #PALEO419! Progressive protrusion of pachycephalosaur progeny! While all these specimens are different species, they do highlight the progressive stages of "doming" pachycephalosaurs go through as they mature. #ontogeny #paleontology #ualberta

Been lacking in #FossilFriday posts lately. So here's a couple happy dimetrodons for ya! Although often found partying it up with your favourite dinos in kid's toys, these non-mammalian synapsids are not dinosaurs at all. In fact, they roamed the earth BEFORE any dinosaur did!

Fun #FossilFriday Fact: Did you know that the first ceratopsian ever named didn't even have a skull? Agathaumas was described by Cope in 1872 before we knew horned dinos ever existed. It's now thought to be a Triceratops like the one at the @ROMtoronto
