@ichnologist.bsky.socialReposted by @paleosoc.bsky.socialFor #Caturday, appreciating our oldest cat Tao (pronounced TAY-o because we're in Georgia) for his love of life, which includes his human servants. He's wearing a harness because he's leash-trained, allowing us to take him on walks in mornings & evenings.
@paleosoc.bsky.socialSee you guys soon!

@tweetisaurus.bsky.socialReposted by @paleosoc.bsky.socialFossil taxa are sometimes considered island weirdos without any actual evidence that island effects were important in their evolution. So we wrote a paper on how we could do actual island biogeography in deep time. If you want a copy but can't access it, email me: www.nature.com/articles/s44...
@paleosoc.bsky.socialHappy #FossilFriday!🦌
🦴This week we have a tragulid jaw in matrix with oncolites from the middle Miocene Siwalik Chinji Formation in Pakistan!
📸Thank you to Catherine Badgley for sending us this fossil!

@daveyfwright.bsky.socialReposted by @paleosoc.bsky.socialHuge congrats to my student @crowleyk.bsky.social, who just had the first paper of her graduate research accepted for publication today (and first 1st authored paper)! Looking forward to sharing her fantastic work on the phylogeny, macroevolution, & biogeography of flexible crinoids with the world!
@andrejpaleo.bsky.socialReposted by @paleosoc.bsky.socialSediments, geochemistry, taphonomy as well as evolutionary patterns usually point to the same transformative events if you know how to read:
"The Choteč Limestone-Kačák Member succession represents ... favorable...preservation of microbial microfabrics."

@friedmanlab.bsky.socialReposted by @paleosoc.bsky.socialTeaching on campus, so no collections visit. Instead enjoy some actinopterygians for today's lab for EARTH 437: Vertebrate Paleontology.
@paleosoc.bsky.social👀 Forgot to purchase your ticket for the PS banquet? No worries! Limited tickets will be available for purchase at GSA 🍽️ Enjoy dinner and conversation with your colleagues and help us celebrate our 2026 awardees. See you soon! 💃
@paleosoc.bsky.socialThe organizers kindly requested that attendees answer this short survey: paleo.memberclicks.net/message2/lin...
🎯 The course will be a mix of lecture and hands-on elements and aims to prepare scientists to maximize the utility of the plant fossil record to understand Earth's deep past.
@paleosoc.bsky.social📢 We are just a few days away from the Paleo Society short course! 📅 When? Saturday, October 10th, from 8:30 am to 5 pm 📍 Where? At the Bluebird Ballroom 2C See you there! 💃
