🚨 New plesiosaur paper 🚨
After 12 years of work, our paper about Seeleyosaurus was published today. Seeleyosaurus was the first complete plesiosaur found in Germany. The holotype at the NHM Berlin is almost complete, articulated and even has fossilised skin. 1/6

New paper out! 🎉

64 pages of #osteology, with some #taxonomy and a scent of #phylogenetics! The monstrosity called #Seeleyosaurus is finally off our desks!

The paper was published in The Anatomical Record and can be accessed here:

New pre-print from recent Slater lab graduate Dr David Černý and me, from David's dissertation work - a bayesian least squares supertree method for inference of time-calibrated phylogenies. Feedback much appreciated but here's the motivation.... 🧵

🚨 New paper on #Jurassic #plesiosaurs! 🚨

In our new study, we describe two new Pliensbachian occurrences from Germany. The more intriguing of the two represents the only reliably identified early Pliensbachian #pliosaurid described to date.
