Recreating Mazon Creek’s 300-million-year-old ecosystem

A new study from the University of Missouri sheds light on how exceptional fossil preservation at Mazon Creek captured the diversity of life across land, delta and sea.

As I age, I can totally relate to Stephen Jay Gould’s decision to not engage in email. Of course, if I did that, I would have to talk on the phone.

New paper: Micro-CT is an excellent tool for looking at fossils still inside rocks. But how does what you see in CT compare to what you find if you dissolve the rock and collect the fossils? Turns out it gets complicated! 🧪⚒️ #paleontology

Hi everyone! It has taken me a little while to engage here but I’m excited to join. My name is John and I’m a paleoecologist at the University of Missouri. I’m really in to studying parasite-host and predator-prey interactions and conservation paleobiology!
