@theskullywaglab.bsky.socialOops, I hadn’t even shared a link to our latest paper…. “Hard-object feeding adaptations infer relative predator-prey size relationships in #Devonian #placoderms” from @theskullywaglab.bsky.social et al. www.nature.com/articles/s41... published in Scientific Reports 🐟 🦷 🩻 #FEA
Show PostSpent the afternoon going through the artifacts at work. Mix of 3-D prints, bone clones, and a couple real specimens.

Show PostAlso postdoc Rex @theskullywaglab.bsky.social with our magnetised build your own placoderm poster and model. People had great fun trying to assemble it! #CAVEPS2025
