Intro post: I'm best known online as a #paleontologist specializing in #temnospondyl #amphibians ☠️🐸, mainly Permian-Triassic of N America.

Photograph of an Asian American male wearing a green shirt and baseball cap and holding a partial skull of a temnospondyl amphibian Figure from a scientific paper (Gee et al., 2019) showing a digitally rendered skull of a trematopid temnospondyl from the Early Permian of Oklahoma. The top image shows the skull in 3D with cranial elements in different colors and a black slice through the mid-length which is shown as a 2D topographic slice highlighting internal features Photograph from above of a man (me, on right) and a woman (Stephanie Abramowicz, on left) conducting mapping of a Jurassic sauropod bonebed in SE Utah. Stephanie is using a square meter grid to establish a physical grid on the quarry floor while I assist her with ensuring consistency between grids. Photograph (left) and interpretive drawing (right) of the top of the skull of North American metoposaurid Buettnererpeton bakeri from the Late Triassic of Texas. The skull is flat, longer than wide, and with a parabolic rounded snout. The eyes are in the front half of the skull and widely separated. Small notches at the back would have been for the ear.
