Guillaume Duboys de Lavigerie

Hello here, without going too much into details, my life has not been going great. I just wanted to warn people here that due to what happened to me last year, I cannot go back to palaeontology, even as an amateur. You can contact me in private if you want clarification.

Hello everyone on here, as of a month and a half ago ,I was told that i could not continue my PhD thesis , because of being too late and it affecting my mental health. This put an end to my Phd thesis without me being able to conclude my work. Sorry for anyone expecting anything.

I'm proud to be representing @WhitbyMuseum @YorksFossilFest on the front page today @yorkshirepost! Are you coming this weekend? It's going to be spectacular!

Here they are! 🦣🔥"Estelle et Noé à la découverte de la Préhistoire" is released today! The rendering is superb: a hardback cover as solid as a mammoth, and colours as vivid as the paintings in the Chauvet cave! 😁@RBINSmuseum @ULiegeResearch @ULiegeLib millepages.com/catalogue/ouvr…

@PatagonianWhale @RBINSmuseum It was a great pleasure to meet you and chat with you about those weird little whales!

Last day in @RBINSmuseum collections! Thanks to Curator Annalise Folie, technicians (Cecilia and Julien), Olivier Lambert and @gloppy_returns for their support during my visit. It was a pleasure work here and a challenging time revising Pliocene right whales!

Miocaperea, the only known extinct pigmy right whale 🐋. From Peru but ended up in our collections @SMNStuttgart ...working on a way to make it available to all :) Skull is ~1m long....and yes those are exceptionally preserved baleen racks #FossilFriday #Whale #Pisco #Miocene

Nice work today at @RBINS revising this nice preserved Balaenella skull.

How did one of the earliest trees, 360 Ma ago, defend itself ? Check our latest paper to have the answer.🌲🪵🔨👉 nature.com/articles/s4147… you can also have more information on the following blog post 👉 ecoevocommunity.nature.com/posts/tiny-bub… #uliege #eddylab #irsnb #rbins @ALDecombeix

Playing with Belgian balaenids ear bones. Really nice specimens🐳

Time of belgian right whale🐳🐳

So proud: my first children's book on #Prehistory! 🦣 I had the chance to write the 8th volume of Estelle & Noé's adventures, published by #Circonflexe! And superbly illustrated by the illustrator #Camouche! Out on May 10th (only in French for now)! decitre.fr/livres/estelle…

For this #FossilFriday another #Iguanodon skeleton from the "gisement" at the @RBINSmuseum! This headless specimen is considered as a subadult, and it bears two funny and unusual details!

How were european ecosystems affected by the K/Pg impact? We try to answer the question in a new paper with R. Zambon through the study of plant/insect interactions in the Paleocene flora of Gelinden. #irsnb #uliege #eddylab authors.elsevier.com/c/1gs-j73N~ATzI

The pickled #Vaquita (the smallest living cetacean) at @PaBioUNAM is now one of my all time favorite specimens on exhibit! Sadly, there are very few individuals left, making it one of the rarest, most endangered #cetaceans. #WhaleWednesday

It's been a busy week for the @FossilsH team, but we've managed to squeeze in some 3D scanning of these beautiful Carboniferous crinoids from Richmond, North Yorkshire! Stay tuned to find out about the international story these specimens have taken! #FossilsFriday

@Rhinologue and I are back dismounting skeletons at @RBINSmuseum If you come for a visit, and see a empty structure, sorry about that. We are working hard for a fantastic project with @Val_Fisch and the RBINS staff, close to be finished!
