A new anguine lizard (Squamata, Anguidae, Anguinae) from the Late Miocene (Vallesian) of the Vallès-Penedès Basin (NE Iberian Peninsula) - Swiss Journal of Palaeontology Post-Palaeogene anguids from Europe have been referred to three extant genera: Anguis, Ophisaurus s.l. (including Dopasia and Hyalosaurus), and Pseudopus. In recent years, a higher generic diversity h...

#FossilFriday For our first social media posts, we highlight the iconic MB.Av.1010: a complete fossil of Archaeopteryx siemensii; a Late Jurassic species thought to be transitional between theropod dinosaurs & birds.

On display at the Berlin Natural History Museum.

¡Muchas gracias, Carlos! Un a abrazo 🙂

The capitosaurs of Montseny were not alone Researchers from the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont (ICP-CERCA) have analyzed various fossil dental remains revealing a surprising and previously unknown diversity of terrestrial ve...

Call for postdocs with an interest in paleoherpetology! Get in touch if you want to discuss funding opportunities to work with me at the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont under the Juan de la Cierva, Beatriu de Pinós or Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral scheme 🦎🐸🐍 #paleontology

I created this starter pack for people interested the study of amphibians and reptiles (Palaeoherpetology/Paleoherpetology). Feel free to nominate other accounts or request inclusion of your own profile, I'll be growing the list until reaching the maximum allowed (150 profiles)!

A screenshot of a website displaying 8 colored skull models of amphibians and reptiles, along with buttons that will allow the user to navigate to 3D models for each skull.

#Education resource! Over the years I created this collection of colored skull #3Dmodels for teaching. They're available to download on MorphoSource & to view on Sketchfab. Because of recent changes to Sketchfab, I migrated them to my website: www.graysvertebrateanatomy.com/work/colorso... (1/3)

Hi, everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. Here I'll be sharing news about my own scientific publications dealing with the description of new #fossils of Jurassic-Pleistocene #reptiles (mostly #lizards) and #amphibians, broadscale macroevolutionary studies, or Permian and Triassic #vertebrates!
