Our most recent paper this year even shows you how to distinguish a baby Bonnerichthys fin from Protosphyraena using Imagej and some math. Yes, there are baby giants out there! Here's one we found in 2014. https://t.co/wrIh2Li0pO https://t.co/6gJqnSEfXO
New publication in collaboration with research associate Dominique Delsate #MNHNLresearch: Scythes, Sickles and other Blades https://t.co/7DWkwemTfR via @thePeerJ
We have so many great articles to share for #FossilFriday so this calls for a thread!
First up: Scythes, sickles and other blades: defining the diversity of pectoral fin morphotypes in Pachycormiformes https://t.co/dJvLivPseV
Plus a look at the #paleoart https://t.co/q9IAv2NxLW https://t.co/9R6ShqtIGi
Three clear and distinct pectoral fin structural morphotypes are found in Pachycormiformes (falceform, gladiform, falcataform), reflecting a diversity of lifestyles throughout the Mesozoic, from agile pursuit predator to slow-cruising suspension feeder https://t.co/yWzE1cZtKk https://t.co/S7ejDnYUGf
