Since everyone is talking about saber-tooths this #FossilFriday. It's time to bring up my long-standing beef with them. Why are long-toothed ones dirk-toothed and short-toothed ones scimitar-toothed? Dirks are short daggers and scimitars are swords!

Great new article by Janis et al. out today (https://t.co/lFLZTEKeSz), 7 yrs ago (to the day!) after ours, led by @StephenWroe (https://t.co/RdiBfYvXcV). Both teams even used the same Thylacosmilus CT data, that we got by scanning the beautiful @FieldMuseum skull here in Ohio. https://t.co/xcYhYHMtyF
