New paper out! ๐ฆดWe studied an exceptionally preserved juvenile of Dysalotosaurus lettowvorbecki from the Tendaguru Formation using micro-CT scans, reconstructing ~40 bones hidden inside a rock block. @ThePalAss

The remains, now housed at the Institut Catalร de Paleontologia, were primarily excavated more than 30 years ago and have not received any attention since then. However, we estimate it to be the most complete crocodyliform from the Upper Cretaceous of Europe.

I'm excited to share that my first-authored article is officially published!
This study, started during my MSc thesis, focuses on the description and taphonomy of a crocodyliform from the Upper Cretaceous of Spain. ๐

I want to thank my co-authur Bernat Vila (@ICP_MCrusafont , @MuseuConcaDella) and all the people that supported me in the study of this fossil!

A great week in #Sabadell for the @eavp2023, where I presented a poster about #Iguanodon pes morphology! With some of the #EDDyLab team from @ULiegeResearch: @Val_Fisch @NarimaneChatar @LabouryA @rsookias So many interesting talks to listen and people to meet!
This month I'm at @ICP_MCrusafont, working on Upper Cretaceous fossils of the Pyrenees! ๐ โ at Terrassa, Espaรฑa
New video out on my channel (only in Italian for now)!๐ฆ

For this #FossilFriday I finished the first model of an Iguanodon exposed at @RBINSmuseum as found in the Bernissart site! 1 day of scanning with @errequad, 2,5 days (!!)) of mesh decimation, 12h of texturing, but the result is worth the effort! 11 skeletons more to go ๐
First #FossilFriday on twitter saying goodbye to the Iguanodons at @RBINSmuseum. Thanks to @Rhinologue and all the people that I met at the Institute in these two months here in Belgium!

#FossilFriday Scanning the Iguanodons of Bernissart also implies the specimens preserved in their original fossilisation posture! It requieres some acrobatics among the skeletons but the obtained models are worth it! With @errequad at @RBINSmuseum
