On #FossilFriday I am proud to share a new discovery - a skull of a large extinct relative of king and emperor penguins.

Latest Cretaceous megaraptorid theropod dinosaur sheds light on megaraptoran evolution and palaeobiology - Nature Communications Megaraptoran theropod dinosaur anatomy and evolution is unclear due to the fragmentary nature of most available fossils. Here the authors report a well-preserved, late surviving megaraptoran from Argentina that clarifies our understanding of the morphology of this group and potentially provides insights into its diet and feeding strategies.

New megaraptor discovered—with its final meal still in its mouth A croc bone locked between the 70-million-year-old predator’s jaws gives scientists a rare look into its life and possibly its last feast.

This week, a new megaraptor was described—found with its final meal still in its mouth!

New paper led by @es-ucl.bsky.social PhD student Samantha Beeston (with @profpaulbarrett.bsky.social + others) on the evolution of postcranial pneumaticity in early sauropodomorph dinosaurs + its likely independent acquisition from that of theropods & pterosauromorphs: doi.org/10.1111/joa....

The Green River Formation is rich in species diversity. This snapshot captures nocturnal animals emerging as their diurnal neighbors start to settle in.

This work is commissioned by the NPS to highlight species found in the Fossil Butte Monument in Wyoming.

#ZAVACEPHALE IS FINALLY OUT! 🥳 Our first definitive Early Cretaceous pachycephalosaur! (~15 my older than the previous oldest pachycephalosaurs) And the first hand material for the clade! I can't tell y'all how much of a pleasure it was to review this paper! ☺️

Baby pterosaurs could fly right after hatching – but crashed in storms Two fossils found in Germany show very young pterodactyls with arm bones thought to have been broken in flight, probably because of severe tropical cyclones

Scientists directly date dino eggshells for the first time The new findings narrow age estimates for the clutch of eggs—and may help identify which species laid them

As we're all taught, you can (usually) only directly date the age of a rock if it cooled from lava.

But here, scientists have dated dinosaur eggs, using uranium-lead ratios in the calcite. Hugely exciting, maybe groundbreaking.

3D model of the reconstructed skeleton of Megabalaena. The posterior skull, partial mandible, left flipper, and much of the vertebral column and ribcage are preserved.

The skull and mandible of Megabalaena. The skull is quite wide, like modern right whales, and the lower jaw is very large, and must have been about three meters long. Steepness of the braincase indicates the rostrum would have been arched like modern rights and bowheads.

Bonus #whaleontology #fossilfriday: Introducing the new right whale Megabalaena sapporoensis from the upper Miocene of Japan! About 12-13 meters long - at the small end of extant right whales (Eubalaena). Described by my NZ office mate Yoshi Tanaka et al. palaeo-electronica.org/content/2025...

Mounted skeletons of two meat-eating dinosaurs. One is slightly larger and lighter. Art deco-ish train station setting, converted into a museum hall

The Cincinnati Museum Center is housed in a restored art deco train station from 1933. I love how Torvosaurus and Allosaurus kinda look like they’re waiting for a train. #FossilFriday
