It is so frustrating when you keep finding significant fossils at the end of the field season and still have not gotten to the base of the giant bone bed complex at Doellings Bowl. We are actively planning exit strategy. Wish to see results of 100th field season. @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social

Been out for review for a few weeks, so closer to publication. @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social

#WhatisitWednesday This large, thin bone from the basal Cretaceous of eastern Utah has moved up to 1st on our preparation list on our return to lab. Any thoughts?? @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social @paleontologizing.bsky.social @thepalass.bsky.social

Read the article … small locality Prep Labs could house a couple of Grad Students … providing security at each site and gat a bunch of prep done, too. Time for a new paradym people. Move The Dinosaur Museum from behing the hardware store in Blanding to White Mesa and employee some Ute kids..

Is it #microvertMonday ? The dot in the palm of my had is a archosaur tooth with a constriction between crown and root. Baby therizinosaur, Ist Cedar Mt heterodontosaur, or toothed bird. Crown height ~3mm. Certain new for fauna. @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social

It's hot!

Joining the team Friday for the last two weeks.

Oops... I interacted with "Voldemort," but I had ethical standards that were set just a touch to high to get sucked into this...lol Why not build a public museum "in Utah" as a legacy in perpituity with your name on the door! www.bloomberg.com/features/202... @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social

Billionaires’ T. Rex Obsession Has Turned Fossils Into Red-Hot DramaAs the battle for dinosaur bones heightens, paleontologists, collectors and auction houses navigate a Wild West market.www.bloomberg.com

#FossilFriday The holotype and paratype of the new species of Hoplitosaurus have dorsal osteoderms with distinct "invertebrate" induced pathologies that clearly different from the irrgular "fungal-bacterial" pathologies in the older Gastonia. @ichnologist.bsky.social @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social

The UGS preparator-Field coordinator is finally posted. This is a career track position with someone with establish skills. Must be able to be a lead on fed. paleo permit and I would like to see porfolio of preparations. Geo-focused! @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social utdgohcm.csod.com/ux/ats/caree...

#FossilFriday The < # of anky species in the 1st 25 Ma of the Cretaceous makes them more biostratigraphically useful than microfossils Massive dorsal osteoderms of Hoplitosaurus are unique & common, great tool for correlation in the west. @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social

We will have Starlink with Paleontologizing live streaming every day from 3-5, -- August 6. #FossilFriday www.twitch.tv/paleontologi... Early work at Jim's Place at Doellings Bowl at the Dawn of the Cretaceous in eastern Utah. @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social

Why did we lose hybodont sharks at the end of the Cretaceous? I certainly miss them... @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social @jeremybroberts.bsky.social @paleontologizing.bsky.social

Worse than I could have imagined with near total loss of our Campanian dinosaur beds. @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social @agu.org @natgeosci.nature.com @paleosoc.bsky.social No one asked my opinion as Utah's State Paleontologist! @paleontologizing.bsky.social

Don DeBlieux has been overseeing a paleontological inventory for Canyonlands NP over the past 5 years. The Early Triassic Moenkopi story has turned out to be the most exciting, hopefully some of the more accessible sites will be interpreted. @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social @paleontologizing.bsky.social

Making my osteoderm figures for the new Utah species of the polacanthid, Hoplitosaurus and these pathologies are driving me nuts. Parasites?, too consistent for fungal or bacterial infections, so.. another gift for #FossilFriday @ichnologist.bsky.social @paleosoc.bsky.social

Love me some Cretaceous freshwater elasmobranchs for #FossilFriday . The Myledaphus line is very well represented in Utah. Glad to see this magnificent Myledaphus mummy properly described.! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @paleontologizing.bsky.social @heatherfsmith.bsky.social

Love Cretaceous Freshwater elasmobranchs! @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social @jeremybroberts.bsky.social
