Chasmataspidids by Artbyjrc

Happy #TaxonomistAppreciationDay! Please support biodiversity science by citing taxonomic literature & acknowledging museum collections. Here at the Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, our Invertebrate Paleontology collection houses millions of specimens, including >10k types

The APS symposium was an absolute blast!!! @AposematicSau did an incredible job illustrating every hurdiid and yes they are all life sized!!! I had a crowd around me the whole event! Cant wait for next year!

It's a great privilege to have the opportunity to describe and study new species. #TaxonomistAppreciationDay

Big clam

My posters at APS Symposium! Mosasaurs and Hurdiids are quite the combo! @AposematicSau illustrated both!

Awhile ago I fulfilled my life long dream of finding Anomalocaris canadensis and it was the best feeling in the world! I have been fossil hunting in Cranbrook for years and dedicated all my time to pursing this elusive predator! Now I have set my eyes on California caris next!⚒️

The second paper of my PhD is out! published in Nature Communications. This paper refines the timing of the middle Cambrian in Scandinavia by integrating a multiproxy approach. You can access the article by clicking on the following link: nature.com/articles/s4146…
