The Inquisitive BiologistThis week's #NewBooks at the library: Very pleased to have found an affordable second-hand copy of the 2nd edition of The Dinosauria from University of California Press. Furthermore, the Geological Society had a sale on Evolution and #Palaeobiology of #Pterosaurs. And I found a second-hand copy of Modular #Evolution from Cambridge University Press. #Books #Scicomm #Bookstodon #Paleontology #Palaeontology #Dinosaurs #Fossils @bookstodon

Darren NaishA sorta exclusive for #TetZooCon 2024... we have Dave the Hone talking about his brand-new book DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR, and - hopefully - we'll have copies present at the meeting ahead of the actual publication date. Woohoo! It features art by @serpenillus (who, sadly, isn't able to attend....) #dinosaurs #palaeobiology #paleobiology

Three New Species of Fossil Kangaroos Discovered in Australia and New Guinea | Sci.News
The three new species belong to the extinct kangaroo genus Protemnodon, which were common members of Cenozoic communities across Australia and New Guinea until their extinction in the Late Pleistocene.
WideEyedCurious 🇺🇸 💙 🇺🇦 & 🇨🇦The formidable fossil, found in Dorset, is almost seven feet long. It belonged to a pliosaur, an extinct marine reptile that terrorized the oceans from the earliest Jurassic to early Late periods, approximately 150 million years ago. The skull has 130 long and razor-sharp teeth. Each tooth has fine ridges at the back to pierce its prey's flesh. https://www.businessinsider.com/huge-skull-of-ancient-apex-predator-in-the-ocean-discovered-in-dorset

Russell GarwoodFor #FossilFriday meet the kalligrammatids. The ~180 million year old fossil below is from Kazakhstan, and may look like a butterfly, but it is in fact a lacewing (a member of the order Neuroptera). This family convergently evolved traits that we associate with butterflies.
