20.10.2025 19:11 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Publication alert!🧪 Major new volume on early tetrapods and Carboniferous palaeoenvironments. The festschrift for Tim Smithson has just been published by Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of The Royal Society of Edinburgh. Most articles are open access.

Lots of meaty papers from Tim Smithson's festschrift. In addition, we contributed a little paper on a lungfish otoccipital from the early Mississippian of Nova Scotia. Nothing fancy but it shows affinities with groups previously known only from the Devonian.

New paper day! From Conrad Wilson's MSc comes the description of the back of two ray finned fish skulls. These show that in the earliest Carboniferous aged rocks at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia, there was a mix of ancient forms and more advanced fish known from younger rocks. #vertpaleo #paleontology

New paper day! From Conrad Wilson's MSc comes a new predatory fish from the earliest Carboniferous deposits of Blue Beach, Nova Scotia. This is the first fish in the fossil record to have its largest teeth in the rear of its jaws.

RIP Taz, our goofy little mutt with short front legs that brought so much joy to everyone she met, and has left a huge hole in our home.
