Check out this cool new video showing the early days of the Peabody Museum. The Podokesaurus display remains just off-screen, but we do get a look at Podoke-observer Richard Lull in (a form of) motion.
Thanks for sharing @yalepeabody !

@days_luckystar2 I keep it at my fiancé’s house and we call him “Guts Joestar”

@days_luckystar2 Fellow upstater here; my brother got me a Christmas gift here two years ago. He asked for a character from Jojo (any one, he doesn’t know the difference) and they sold him a Guts figuarts, insisting it was from Jojo

The mall I work at has this anime store in it and it’s one of the worst stores I’ve ever been in

Huene’s rarely-seen reconstruction of Podokesaurus, from his 1932 “Die fossile Reptil-Ordnung Saurischia.” Look at that tail!

Neat little unprepared Coelophysis snout we came across on our latest collections visit

I swear I had to get under this thing to get good pictures of real fossils that somebody built into the floor…

We’re in Japan for the month, so we’re in Fukui checking out the current goings-on, including their fantastic special exhibition on theropods!

Hey, guys, so it turns out the Spinosaurus holotype wasn’t blown into oblivion, the Germans just sent it to Japan under the shroud of night!

Did some quarrying today for the Museum and found a few Devonian fish elements

Freya has been busy prepping a Jurassic plant from Massachusetts that we collected a few weeks ago; most of this was covered when we found it. She’ll need the practice for when we find CT Valley bones🤞

Spent the day at Yale checking out Connecticut Valley fossils, Coelophysis, and the oldest surviving dinosaur fossil found in the western hemisphere (2nd pic.) We also got Raising Cane’s for the first time.

We got to walk on dinosaur tracks today (and also got a lot of real work done.)

BEHOLD… Rupert Wild’s temnospondyl, from which tapioca boba are harvested.

Happy #DinosaurDay to you and yours!
If Mignon Talbot were here to celebrate, she’d probably say: “Where am I? How did I get here?”

Making some interesting breakthroughs in interpreting Podok’s dorsal verts. Thinking we’re seeing them from a different perspective than previously thought, + some internal features not before appreciated

@MiloGaillard3 *Proposed* neotype, we should note. We’ll have to wait and see if the ICZN approves it within the next several decades

"since the T. formosus type has not been lost or destroyed, only the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has the power to implement a neotype (Art. 75.5). Accordingly, a petition is being drafted for the Commission to review." Big news.
English
It happened. Troodon formosus now has a neotype, in the form of Two Medicine material, distinct from Stenonychosaurus inequalis. It is now a real dinosaur, again. I'm so happy.

Thanks again to Mount Holyoke for allowing us to present some of our in-progress Podokesaurus revision. The first new science on the species in almost 60 years!

We’ll be giving a short talk at Mount Holyoke this Thursday, in celebration of their new Podokesaurus exhibit. We will be sharing our latest anatomical observations and phylogenetic results that you won’t be able to hear anywhere else!
