@amandawpeng.bsky.socialReposted by @drfamoso.bsky.socialNew paper out from the John Day Fossil Beds Special Volume of Journal of Paleontology. I started this work as a second-year Ph.D. student in 2020 as a Scientist-in-the-Park at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument with Nick Famoso. How things have changed!
@drfamoso.bsky.socialThe 8th paper in the John Day special issue is out! @amandawpeng.bsky.social and I discuss species diversity and size disparity in some of the fossil localities in the John Day Formation.
@geopetalfabric.bsky.socialReposted by @drfamoso.bsky.socialPSA to the dino folks out there who use the rugose cheekbones of Hylochoerus (the giant forest hog) in any sort of head butting analogy: those are sexually dimorphic 😬
This and more disappointing truths from @drfamoso.bsky.social and I out now: doi.org/10.1017/jpa....
@virtpaleo.bsky.socialReposted by @drfamoso.bsky.socialAnother paper out! This is partially about how hyaenodonts are really weird but also some thoughts on how we think about many-to-one mapping. Thanks to my UROP Carmen Ricker for working on a lot of the data collection!
