Happy #MosasaurMonday from Eustace, the holotype skull of Jormungandr walhallensis discovered in North Dakota by the NDGS.
We were tasked with taking this not-quite-complete skull (right) and digitally restoring it for display at the NDGS as well as a library just a few miles from the dig site 🧪

What a rollercoaster.
We were able to locate one of Winifred's daughters from her time in the puppy mill using Embark! She lived in Colorado too! Contacted the owner to see about arranging a meet up and...
The daughter died this past August from hemangiosarcoma.

Happy #FossilFriday from this print of the holotype skull of Bison "kansasensis". This copy has gone off to greener pastures, but we're working on another one to assemble and hopefully put in our catalog.

Waiting on chemo for New Idiot Dog, so here's a throwback to 5 years ago when I was finishing up the cast reconstruction of Walker's skull
This bruiser was the second Mosasaurus ever found in Kansas (Wally was the first) from the Weskan shale, near the Colorado border.

Winifred went to a ribbon cutting ceremony today for a new section of trails and demanded pets from:
The Mayor
The Mayor-elect
3 other members of City Council
It was resolved that she is indeed a very good tripod

Not for nothing, but I commissioned artwork just for a poster at #SVP2025 by @seismic-shrimp.bsky.social
Supporting real live artists isn't all that hard to do! Especially for the cover of a supposedly leading journal. Enough of this AI slop.

Had a great time in the weeks leading up to #2025SVP working with @seismic-shrimp.bsky.social on the poster art for Ichthyodectid tail trauma. Highly recommend!
Now that SVP is over, I can finally post the commission that I did for @mosasaurologist.bsky.social 's poster on a certain very cool taxon! #paleoart #sciart

So apparently people here were more interested in weird fish making weird poop than the fish tail trauma. Was swamped all poster session during #2025SVP and barely have a voice. Time for a drink
