This #FossilFriday I'm at the American Museum of Natural History gathering data for my Master's dataset. Here's the GORGEOUS holotype specimen of Cormohipparion goorisi from the Miocene of Texas!

Hello all! I'm a first-year Masters student at the University of Minnesota, studying the evolution of dental development in horses (and morphological evolution, more broadly).
Hopefully this can be as good of a place to network as Twitter used to be!
