Happy to share our latest paper with @Comp_PaleoBio! We combine nanoindentation and biomechanical modelling to investigate skull bone stiffness in Gallotia lizards, including extinct giant species, and its implications for palaeobiological inference.

¡Súper feliz de compartir el último trabajo en el que colaboro con el increíble equipo de @Comp_PaleoBio ! 🦎✨
¿Cómo sabíamos lo "fuerte" que era la mordida de los animales extintos si no podemos medir sus huesos directamente? 👇

Footprints left by an animal 280 million years ago have been discovered in the Serra de Tramuntana, Mallorca
These are fossilized gorgonopsian tracks, a Permian predator considered the earliest known ancestor of mammals

🎓🦎 Today we're attending the PhD thesis defense of Chabier de Jaime (@Comp_PaleoBio).
His research explores Permian and Triassic vertebrate palaeobiodiversity from the NE of the Iberian Peninsula — a key period in Earth's evolutionary history.
Good luck, Chabi! 💪

Ahir vam rebre una visita especial al @MuseuICP! 🎥 El programa @marciansTV3 va gravar un reportatge sobre el paleoart, la unió entre ciència i art que dona vida al passat. 🦖
Amb @RocOlivePous i @FortunyPaleoBio de l'ICP. Aviat a la pantalla! 📺
#Marcians3Cat
Great opportunity! Contact us for further information!
Looking for postdoc candidates interested in #morphology #biomechanics #FEA to join a project on lepidosaur cranial kinesis in biology and engineering with me and @FortunyPaleoBio. Great opportunity to dive into state-of-the art interdisciplinary research!

4/10 The holotype skull of Diplocynodon tormis was CT-scanned and 3D reconstructed! 🦴✨ This specimen includes a nearly complete skull and both mandibles. While the bone boundaries sutures were indistinguishable , its inner skull cavities were clearly visible.
9/10 The research was developed by @PaleoASM, Angel H. Luján, Angel Pérez and @FortunyPaleoBio at @ICP_MCrusafont with the support of@iCERCA , @CienciaGob and @AgEInves
10. 📚 For more on this research from @Comp_PaleoBio, check the full #OA paper on Diplocynodon tormis skull cavities from the Duero Basin 🌍
