Excited to announce our paper on the virtual osteohistology of Orthosuchus is out in @JournalofAnat! We conducted the experiment at the @esrfsynchrotron and produced some of the most beautiful scans you have ever seen! #Orthosuchus #palaeontology #PSSA #Histology #SouthAfrica

When the postcranial material section actually has comprehensive descriptions, images, and line drawings

We describe some of the most amazing specimens of this large predatory therocephalian and discuss its role in the Permo-Triassic ecosystems of the Karoo Basin. A big thank you to my co-authors (@dimetrodoc and @JenniferBotha9) and funders (@GenusPalaeo and @PASTEvolve).

🚨New paper for #FossilFriday. I'm really excited to announce that the first chapter of my MSc has been published in @PeerJLife. The postcranial anatomy of Moschorhinus is now live. Link to the paper: peerj.com/articles/17765

Read about and watch our thrilling expedition through the captivating Free State, as we hunted for long-extinct creatures! #PalaeontologistExpedition #UnearthingHistory #AncientWonders #GENUS #fieldwork #Science genus.africa/explore-articl…

Southern African palaeontology is currently mourning the loss of one of its greats. We are dedicating this #FossilFriday to Charles K. 'Bob' Brain.

I got to spend 2 weeks in the field with this legendary group of researchers. 🤩 Such a pleasure being surrounded by such passion and excitement for science. 🦖🦕🐊⛏

Happy #FossilFriday! A team of palaeontologists has just returned from the field in the Eastern Cape. 🇿🇦⛏ They collected giant jackets and many many fossils that include a late branching pseudosuchian, sauropodomorphs, theropods and more! 🦕🦖🐊

Breaking! A newly discovered gorgonopsian in the Karoo, Inostrancevia africana, belongs to a genus hitherto only known from Russia. This genus includes the largest top predator gorgonopsians known. It appears in the Karoo right before the end Permian mass extinction, 252 Ma.

WIP. Therocephalians of the Early Triassic Katberg Formation of South Africa. These are being done for my book (still in preparation)

Happy #FossilFriday! We are SO excited to announce the launch of the updated PSSA website! palaeosa.org

#FossilFriday Just about to resubmit a manuscript with @MannArjan on this beautiful interclavicle and sternum of Aelurognathus. Prep by @KelsieAbrams3, drawing by @soojeong_shin #gorgonaissance @Synapsida

The irresistible face of the small karenitid therocephalian Mupashi from the upper Permian of Zambia. Those 👀 Today is the first of many in Permian and Triassic collections at the @burkemuseum! #FossilFriday

Very excited to announce that my honours research has been published! There's more theropods lurking in the rocks of the Elliott! Thanks to my coauthors and supervisors @JenniferBotha9 and @jonahchoiniere tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

Mystery fossil - help wanted. Can anybody shed light on this. It looks like a millipede-like carapace, but I am no invertebrate palaeontologist. Found next to a Lystrosaurus skeleton, Early Triassic, terrestrial setting

Hi everyone, check out our latest work on Massospondylus #doi" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">peerj.com/articles/13918…, Kimi Chapelle @Kimi_Chap did an amazing job at documenting the growth patterns of this sauropodomorph with a massive sample size

Hi everybody, we've, as in Jonah, Roger and I, (@BensonLabOxford) just published a cool paper on sauropodiform growth. If you're interested here's the link!. Rapid growth preceded gigantism in sauropodomorph evolution cell.com/current-biolog…

Hi everyone we've just published new data on the ornithischian dinosaur... Check it out if you're interested.... Osteohistology and taphonomy support social aggregation in the early ornithischian dinosaur Lesothosaurus diagnosticus onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

I’m very happy to put this saga to bed. Here’s the paper introducing this new species of therocephalian from Antarctica, with @PaleoZoek @dimetrodoc url6649.tandfonline.com/ls/click?upn=o…

Two gondwanan eutheriodonts from the Early Triassic for my book (still in prepepration). The small therocephalian Ericiolacerta and the cynodont Thrinaxodon
