Nice to see another paper out using samples from the chalk project I worked on last year @nhm.org. Well done Chloe & team!

Research out that I was involved in at the @nhm.org under the @chalksea.bsky.social project!

I had a great time sampling chalk specimens for this project.

Congrats @plesiosarahs.bsky.social and co.!!

Happy Birthday #EuniceNewtonFoote! 🎂
She would be 206 years old today!

We recently named the trace fossil #Osspecuseunicefooteae after her in this study led by @plesiosarahs.bsky.social on Cretaceous bone-eating worms:

Images of the trace fossil Osspecus eunicefooteae. The inset shows a post mortem burrow in the bone of an fossilised ichthyosaur (from the Cretaceous of the UK) as seen in a slice from a micro X-ray CT scan. The main panel shows a 3D digital model of the burrow made in specialist software (Avizo) by tracing the burrow slice by slice. The burrow is about  2.7 mm across.

A huge thanks to all my collaborators and the National Museum of Scotland. Particularly to my supervisor Phil Cox for taking the lead on this while I worked full-time and finished my thesis! So happy to have it finally out!
