    Fossil 'firewalkers': dinosaurs and mammal antecedents frolicking in between the lava flows of South Africa, some 180 million years ago. Quite a scene to conjure! As told by some spectacular new footprints! My thoughts in 's writeup:

    🐾 Los dinosaurios, las criaturas más formidables de la Tierra, se desvanecieron hace ya sesenta y seis millones de años, pero siguen siendo uno de los misterios más intrigantes de todos los tiempos. Escribe .

    Time to believe the hype fans. Impressive win. And bittersweet with the untimely death of Robert Archibald, Illini legend and only Scot ever to play in the NBA, and on Burns Night of all days. Sad day for Illini and Scottish/UK basketball fans 😪

    On a sadder note, this was one of the papers I was working on with my good friend and colleague Junchang Lü when he passed away so suddenly in 2018. Nobody loved oviraptors as much as Junchang (not even Fion or ). This one goes out to you buddy!

    We worked with my old Bristol pal , who helped with the stats and in quantifying the form-function relationships, which are among his specialties as a numerate dinosaur paleontologist!

    This paper stems from 's thesis, in 's MScR in Palaeontology & Geobiology course. Fion wrote a terrific thesis, and that helped earn her a PhD position , where she's now thriving.

    And these tell a very cool story. Oviraptors have huge variation in skull and beak shape. Beak shape is strongly related to its function (what it ate and how hard it bit). Many oviraptors were able to live together because they had different skull shapes and functions.

    The measurements were used to produce lots of morphospaces. So, so many morphospaces!

    Fion studied several oviraptor skulls and jaws, and used various methods to quantify their shapes and sizes.

    For , here's another recent paper from our lab, on the skull evolution of *the weirdest dinosaurs of all*, the oviraptorosaurs (like Tongtianlong in the image below). Led by my former Master's student .

    OMG, this is the treat many of us have been waiting for since, well, long before Fossil Friday was a thing. Allosaurus jimmadseni is published!!!!

    A great team effort. With international and interdisciplinary colleagues, and including the contributions of three students. Thank you everyone!

    The paper includes an important clarification. In The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, I said that tyrannosaurs had chimp-like intelligence. I was wrong. We set the record straight. They were smart (for reptiles), but not at mammal levels of braininess.

    Another CT scan, of a juvenile specimen, was done by the one and only in Edinburgh. Ian is the only person I've known who's built his own CT scanner. Our former undergrad/Master's student Amy Muir helped scan and study this specimen a few years ago.

    The fossils were collected by my good friend in New Mexico. Tom & described Bistahieversor in 2010, and took part in this study. Tom arranged CT scans with the *incredible* team of physicists at , who join us as authors.

    My PhD student , who is already one of the world's experts on using CT data to study inner ear anatomy in fossils, reconstructed the ears. These tyrannosaurs could hear very well, and had great balance!
