New paper out! 🦴We studied an exceptionally preserved juvenile of Dysalotosaurus lettowvorbecki from the Tendaguru Formation using micro-CT scans, reconstructing ~40 bones hidden inside a rock block. @ThePalAss onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sp… #Paleontology #Jurassic #Evolution

An exquisitely preserved young iguanodontian from the Upper Jurassic of Tanzania sheds light on skeletal fusion patterns within Archosauria onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sp… #PapersinPalaeontology @errequad @PalaeoFil @ManucciFabio @MorphoSource @MorphoBank

The remains, now housed at the Institut Català de Paleontologia, were primarily excavated more than 30 years ago and have not received any attention since then. However, we estimate it to be the most complete crocodyliform from the Upper Cretaceous of Europe. 2/6 🧵

New paper out! 🚨📄 I'm excited to share that my first-authored article is officially published! This study, started during my MSc thesis, focuses on the description and taphonomy of a crocodyliform from the Upper Cretaceous of Spain. 🐊 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 1/6 🧵

Yesterday I presented my research on allodaposuchid at #paleodays2024!

(1/4) 🦕🐊 A new study published in Historical Biology by @Unibo, @ICP_MCrusafont, @MuseuConcaDella describes a skull fragment of a crocodyliform found in the mid-20th century in Catalonia. 👇 icp.cat/index.php/en/p…

I want to thank my co-authur Bernat Vila (@ICP_MCrusafont , @MuseuConcaDella) and all the people that supported me in the study of this fossil!

A great week in #Sabadell for the @eavp2023, where I presented a poster about #Iguanodon pes morphology! With some of the #EDDyLab team from @ULiegeResearch: @Val_Fisch @NarimaneChatar @LabouryA @rsookias So many interesting talks to listen and people to meet!

Crocodiles at @eavp2023!

@FiloPaga Finalmente il vero spirito del naturalista ti si è risvegliato.

Buone ste Salse🌋

This month I'm at @ICP_MCrusafont, working on Upper Cretaceous fossils of the Pyrenees! 🐊

New video out on my channel (only in Italian for now)!🦕 youtube.com/watch?v=aFRcXo…

@Rhinologue @Paleofolk @RBINSmuseum Drink the Iguanodon beer for me, if you can! 🍻

Today with @Paleofolk and Pascal Godefroit from the @RBINSmuseum we went to the Bernissart Museum to disassemble and 3D scan the specimen exposed here! In less than 3h, the specimen was down and scanning will continue along the week :) #EDDyLab #Bernissart

For this #FossilFriday I finished the first model of an Iguanodon exposed at @RBINSmuseum as found in the Bernissart site! 1 day of scanning with @errequad, 2,5 days (!!)) of mesh decimation, 12h of texturing, but the result is worth the effort! 11 skeletons more to go 😅

@Rhinologue @RBINSmuseum Thanks and see you soon!!!

@errequad @RBINSmuseum It was a pleasure to have you here at the @RBINSmuseum for your internship! Hope you enjoy it and learn two or three things :) Safe travel back to Italy and hope to see you soon in a congress or in museum collections ;)

First #FossilFriday on twitter saying goodbye to the Iguanodons at @RBINSmuseum. Thanks to @Rhinologue and all the people that I met at the Institute in these two months here in Belgium!
