🚨Palaeoverse Lecture Series🚨 🗓️30th July 2026, 15:00 UTC🗓️ Join us next Thursday for a talk by Pablo Milla Carmona from IBIOMAR, CONICET on “Investigating evolution using theoretical morphospaces: a practical workflow with 'morphospace'”. Sign up here: palaeoverse.org/training/lec...

💻 Our new website is now live! 💻 Over the past few months, we've been working hard to create a hub of resources designed to support the palaeontological community. 🔗 Find out more and visit the new site here: palaeoverse.org

🚨Palaeoverse Lecture Series🚨 We are very excited to share our next four talks in the Series 🥳 We are looking forward to hearing from Corinne Myers, Pablo Milla Carmona, @brpetrucci.bsky.social, and Emilia Jarochowska! Sign up now at bit.ly/palaeoverse-...

🚨 New croc paper alert! Another study led by Ana Laura Paiva (PhD student I co-supervise with Max Langer) is out today in Palaeontology! We revisit a classic question with new tools: how big were notosuchians, really? 🐊📏 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Art: @mirantakouvari.bsky.social

Last week, several of our team got together @ucl.ac.uk to map out some exciting new ideas and plans to support the palaeontological community. We’ve got a lot in the works thanks to @softwaresaved.bsky.social’s Research Software Maintenance Fund. Stay tuned over the next few months to find out more.

🚨Palaeoverse Lecture Series - TODAY, 15:00UTC🚨 Joseph Flannery-Sutherland @joeflansan.bsky.social will be joining us with his talk: "Cleaning taxonomy, time, and their messy interactions with the fossilbrush R package". Sign up here if you haven't already: bit.ly/palaeoverse-...

🚨 Out today: our Editorial in @jvertpaleo.bsky.social on an important issue in science - the reproducibility crisis in phylogenetic analyses. In it, we analyze several years of editorial data to ask a simple question: are things improving? www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Great way to start the week! Our notosuchian from Villaggio del Pescatore is out in @zoojlinnsoc.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1093/zool... Congrats Marco Muscioni for another great PhD paper & to all the VdP team🥂🐊 Stay tuned for more croc news in the future! @piginatutu.bsky.social @es-ucl.bsky.social

We'll be hosting a joint Crossing the Palaeontological–Ecological Gap (CPEG) meeting & Conservation Paleobiology Symposium @ucl.ac.uk in London in August 2027, which aims to bridge spatial and temporal gradients between palaeontology, ecology, and conservation: www.ucl.ac.uk/mathematical...

Our paper re-evaluating the notosuchian Eremosuchus elkoholicus is out now! This work formed a chapter of my PhD thesis, and sheds some light on the complex evolutionary history of sebecid crocodyliforms 🐊🌎 @es-ucl.bsky.social

Dr Paul M.J. Burke@palaeoburke.bsky.social · 9mo ago

New paper on the notosuchian Eremosuchus by @piginatutu.bsky.social, co-authored by myself and @pdmannion.bsky.social among others out now!! We even find some cool evidence of replacement teeth in the dentary! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Interested in corals, dispersal, and diversification dynamics? 🪸 We're offering a PhD project on how the Tethys closure shaped global marine biodiversity — supervised by me, Bridget Wade, Nadia Santodomingo, & Francesca Bosellini. 🗓️ Apply by 17th December 2025 www.trees-dla.ac.uk/projects/how...

Had a really great time at @eavpalaeo.bsky.social in Kraków last week with all of team croc/sauropod from @es-ucl.bsky.social 🐊🦕 (as well as many old/new pals). Big thanks to everyone involved in organising! @macroecoevoale.bsky.social @devinhoffman.bsky.social @pdmannion.bsky.social

New paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social led by Steve Poropat @curtinuniversity.bsky.social ‪in which we present the first ever direct evidence of sauropod dinosaur feeding, based on stomach contents of the Australian titanosaur Diamantinasaurus: www.cell.com/current-biol... @es-ucl.bsky.social

Interested in applying for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship this year? Feel free to reach out! We've got micro🔬, invert 🪸, and vert palaeo🦕 @es-ucl.bsky.social! 📆 We are accepting Expressions of Interest until 9th June! marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/actions/post...

🚨 I'm super happy to announce that our new paper is finally out today in @currentbiology.bsky.social! 🚨 We used the ecological approach of occupancy modelling to investigate the structure of the dinosaur fossil record prior to the K/Pg mass extinction! www.cell.com/current-biol...

Our new paper out today describes a sebecoidean crocodylomorph from the Early Palaeocene of Patagonia, and provides support for the survival of a large-bodied terrestrial vertebrate lineage across the K-Pg. @pdmannion.bsky.social @es-ucl.bsky.social royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

🚨Croc paper alert! Please welcome Thilastikosuchus scutorectangularis 🐊, the oldest notosuchian from South America and the first crocodyliform from the Sanfranciscana Basin, Brazil! Happy to be part of this team. Huge thanks to Joyce for being invited to collaborate! #paleontology

Anatomical description and systematics of a new notosuchian (Mesoeucrocodylia; Crocodyliformes) from the Quiricó Formation, Lower Cretaceous, Sanfranciscana Basin, Brazil

Notosuchians comprise a clade of mostly terrestrial crocodyliforms generally found in Cretaceous Gondwanan deposits. They evolved into many forms and some species show convergences with mammalian f...

My first post on here, so I’d like to share some cool things that have happened recently: 1) Last week I successfully defended my PhD thesis, and am a (pending) croc doc 🐊 2) I now share my name with a caterpillar cake 3) I learnt the importance of never being photographed with a whiteboard
