I rarely make public criticisms of new papers, but Sancarlo & Paul's latest "paper" is nothing more than a brazen act of taxonomic vandalism. And the organization(?) that publishes the "journal' has a 'family photos' section on their website.

420 Million years before the reign of Mamdani, two Acutiramus wake up from their daylight slumber as thousands are Eurypterus begin to invade the shallow, warm waters of New York. This is the Fiddlers Green or Bertie Formation, a Silurian lagerstätte known for its eurypterids🧵

I've been drained from paleo. So I will be taking an extended break from it for awhile. When I am getting stressed from having to deal with people being annoying, arrogant/ignorant, or mansplaining my own field to me while I am trying to take a break from my stressful personal life, its too much.

Abstract submission is now open, with the 31st of May as the final deadline. Feel free to contact us regarding our symposium!

Eeee!!!! So, good news: me and @lepidodendron.bsky.social will be co-hosting a symposium at EPPC this year looking at plant Paleoart!!!!! This has been a long time coming, so I'm incredibly excited that we can finally announce it! #paleoart #paleobotany #conference #FossilFriday #botany

Quite a few people have asked me to put the Cabrières lagerstätte from the Ordovician of France on our wheel for a while. I refused so far because, well, I already did it as a commission ;) Cabrières is a fascinating biota, a fuge amount of macro algae might hint at...

Result from the Burgess Shale #paleostream! This piece turned into one of the busiest yet, and yet we only scratch the surface here! Burgess Shale is a fossil bearing deposit high up in the Canadian Rockies and is sometimes called the "most important fossil locality of all time"

Awhile ago I started editing the Lagerstätte article to make the list more comprehensive, better cited, nicer, etc. I ended up splitting the list out because of size (still need to improve the main article) so now I can say that I created & wrote the majority of the longest paleo wiki article. help

a list of the longest wikipedia articles. Mine is #27
