After a week of hard work and discussions the PRIME workshops ends today in the late afternoon. Fruitful discussions and breakout groups made good progress and we are looking forward to the outcomes to be published.

Let's go! Today marks the start of the 5-day PRIME (www.paleosynthesis.nat.fau.de/index.php/pr...) workshop led by Bethany Allen (Potsdam) and Baran Karapunar (Leeds). .... let's discuss mass extinction!

A fantastic and productive week creating new resources for the next generation of experimental taphonomists! Thanks to @orlabe.bsky.social for driving this forward with me and @paleosynth.bsky.social for hosting us!

Last day of the IRATE workshop in Erlangen. See the happy faces! Looks like everybody had a good time and hopefully fruitful discussions... can't wait to see the outcomes published ^^ (no pressure at all ;))

A nice little reminder of our proposal call for workshops! You have until May 18th... have a look here: www.paleosynthesis.nat.fau.de/index.php/in...

🚨Publication alert!🚨

Thrilled to share that our paper, “Ancient frameworks as modern templates: exploring rubble consolidation in an ancient reef system”, is now out and is open access.

We found that 🪸 rubble in the Late Triassic shared similar consolidation processes to modern reefs.

Over 2.5 billion years ago, trillions of tiny Cyanobacteria spent hundreds of millions of years creating an oxygen-rich atmosphere on Earth.

Take a deep breath. How are you using your oxygen today? Be present. Give freely. Care for others. Make your ancient microbial cousins proud. Exhale. Repeat.

More emotional support and positive feedback

This one took some years in the making! Here, the closeness of a #jurassic species' temperature preference to its environmental temperature (=thermal bias) was a useful predictor of whether it moved in, remained, or moved out of a region, or went #extinct during #climatechange... rdcu.be/d8IfN

Superb post-doc opportunity 👇Read the thread and get your applications in!

Only two weeks until the Summer School application deadline and right after that our workshop call! Check back to make sure you don't miss it. www.paleosynthesis.nat.fau.de/index.php/sc...
