This month, I had the pleasure of visiting the HUGE fossil mammal collection of the @amnh.org!πŸ—½πŸ™οΈ

As part of my NWO Veni fellowship, I made moulds of teeth of fossil hyraxes and notoungulates to study their dental evolution.🌿🦷

Thanks to the curators and preparators at @amnh.org for hosting me!

It was such fun to give a short talk at @naturalis.bsky.social colloquium and introduce myself to our diverse group of researchers! I am still very much in the data collection-part of my current VENI-fellowship, but hope to be able to share some preliminary results soon πŸ€“πŸƒπŸŒπŸ¦΄πŸ‚πŸ¦Œ
