I’m happy to share that the third chapter of my PhD has just been published! 🥳 In this study, we describe a new giant radiodont from the Fezouata Biota in Morocco. The publication features an incredible reconstruction by @alextrebaol Available here: app.pan.pl/article/item/app0…

1/5. It was a very nice time during the last 2 intense months. It started with a very nice @ThePalAss annual meeting at which I presented a poster about our recently published work with @PGueriau and @cambriancritter.

🚨📄 Paper Alert 📄🚨 Our new paper about the early developmental stages of a 480 million years old arthropod from Morocco is out! We used synchrotron X-ray microtomography to see details of these ~ 2 mm long babies. Details in 🧵👇 1/7 – at Prague, Czech Republic

Fossil evidence of arthropod moulting is popular these days! Fascinating work by @harrietdrage, David Legg, and @cambriancritter, with compelling evidence for a suture in a marrellid. Intriguing how different it is from moulting in Marrella from the #BurgessShale ...

🦐❌ 🪱✅ In a paper published today in @RSocPublishing Biology Letters, @Cambriannelids, N. Rabet and myself reveal using μCT scanning that the Lower Devonian animal Gilsonicaris is a polychaete annelid and not an anostracan crustacean or even an arthropod

🚨🚨 Paper alert! I am happy to share my new paper with @PGueriau and @cambriancritter 🥳. The paper talks about the suspension-feeding radiodonts from the Fezouata Shale 🇲🇦. Spoiler: Aegirocassis was not alone. Check out the link if you want more details bit.ly/47B1W9k

Scientific academic publishing is systemically flawed, but there are better ways! Myself and @ThomasHearing published a preprint on a new prospective publishing model for #palaeontology. Get in touch if you're interested in collaborating on #OpenScience! doi.org/10.31223/X57679
