@boydpaleo.bsky.socialA nice story on the newly named Infernogallus jamesi, the first named dinosaur from North Dakota.

@boydpaleo.bsky.socialNew Hell Creek dino drop!
Say hello to Infernogallus jamesi, the first dinosaur named in part based on specimens from North Dakota!
Not only is this a new theropod from the Hell Creek, it shows a unique, fruit eating diet!!!
@uglyfossils.bsky.socialReposted by @boydpaleo.bsky.socialHere's another lab note for dino-mummy melanosome research funding drive @tessasaurus.bsky.social, @boydpaleo.bsky.social, @mhouseholder.bsky.social, and I have been holding. We hit out most recent stretch goal, so of course I had to go and sneak a little taphonomy into the mix at the 11th hour.
@boydpaleo.bsky.socialBen Johnson needs to learn to take points when we have them. His insistence on TDs and never taking FGs is hurting us the last 2 games.
@joschuaknuppe.bsky.socialReposted by @boydpaleo.bsky.socialThey have a fundraiser currently going, which I want to use to fund research into the microstructure and even coloration of Edmontosaurus skin! You can donate here:

@joschuaknuppe.bsky.socialReposted by @boydpaleo.bsky.social🧵 And so ends our #paleostream on the the past and future research surrounding Dakota, the Edmontosaurus mummy! We talked with @tessasaurus.bsky.social, @uglyfossils.bsky.social, @mhouseholder.bsky.social and @boydpaleo.bsky.social about their upcoming work!

@tessasaurus.bsky.socialReposted by @boydpaleo.bsky.socialREMINDER we are live streaming with @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social about our fundraiser at 3pm EDT on twitch. We will be announcing a second dinosaur to add to our research
@boydpaleo.bsky.socialI was going to say three dinosaur mummies, but two is ok.....I guess.
@uglyfossils.bsky.socialReposted by @boydpaleo.bsky.socialWhat's better than one dinosaur mummy?
Two dinosaur mummies, of course.
@tessasaurus.bsky.social, @boydpaleo.bsky.social, @mhouseholder.bsky.social, and I have added new stretch goals to our research fundraiser here:

@boydpaleo.bsky.socialOur project was funded in less than 10 hours! THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone that has donated! We've added a stretch goal: additional samples to investigate evidence of changes in color in different regions of the body. Please consider donating if you can, or at least share to spread the word!
@uglyfossils.bsky.socialReposted by @boydpaleo.bsky.social@tessasaurus.bsky.social, @boydpaleo.bsky.social, @mhouseholder.bsky.social, and I are running a fundraiser for some new dinosaur mummy research. We've just posted our first lab note, and the plan is to share more as the month goes along. You can check out the project here: experiment.com/u/Db63Fw
