Cropping teeth of Utah's new Kayenta ornithischian, so for #FossilFriday Scutellosaurus lawleri. My pics of the original exhibit & gastondesign.com mount. Not the transition at base of tail from 2 rows of osteoderms across midline to 1 medial row running down the tail. @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social

In honor of Hans Dieter Sues a #FossilFriday, the big Kayentatherium that Hans built much of his dissertation around. Got to help excavate in July 1981 working for Farrish Jenkins and first met Hans, while he was working on the specimen at Harvard a few years later. @paleontologizing.bsky.social

Alright new policy: - I won’t repost videos or pictures without investigating first. -photos will be from photographers or scientists or normal people without a visible history of ai slop. -animals that look super pretty will be verified to exist through iNaturalist or reptile database, etc.
