New paper out today! Led by Daniel Schwarz, we retrodeformed the skull and reconstructed the cranio-mandibular musculature of the giant stem-amphibian Mastodonsaurus giganteus. Our results show that Mastodonsaurus had a powerful bite and a crocodile-

Heyy, I finally landed on Bluesky ! 👋
For those who don’t know me, I’m Arnaud, PhD student in Palaeontology and diving into all kind of bromalites (fossilised digested content) ! 🦴💩
I will post research updates here and also other stuff I do !
Looking forward to connecting with more people here !

Bird feathers from a Late Cretaceous coprolite
O’Connor et al. describe a Cretaceous coprolite preserving feathers. Bone fragments
suggest they are from a hesperornithiform bird, consistent with feather morphologies
associated with reduced water p...

Earth's Ancient Hydrogen, And Fossilized Vomit
A new simulation shows large amounts of hydrogen in our planet’s core. And, what scientists found in 290-million-year-old vomit.
