To the field trip! Where I talked a lot and pulled some funny faces, apparently. Among my many field-related skills, I fix broken walking boots.

Badge-swapping fun at the dinner... @pdmannion.bsky.social 's is now on @houdzgeorge.bsky.social 's desk. This seems to be a game that is no longer played by the youth. Sad. @peterfalkingham.com won.

Here's my #2025SVP photo album. It starts with @fossilrob.bsky.social giving his talk, and an amazing photo of him and @profpaulbarrett.bsky.social from c. 2009 when he first started the work (1/n)

It's the end of the #2025SVP UK dinos field trip. We finished with a visit to Dewars Farm dinosaur track site (muddy), and the Oxford Uni Museum, where we were lucky enough to get a tour of the Buckland archives and collections. Home for sleep...

Gorgeous day on the Isle of Wight looking at footprints, prospecting, and examining some previously discovered fossils on our post- #2025SVP UK dinos fieldtrip. I told you it was sunnier down south... Big thanks @valdosaurus.bsky.social

Bonfire last night. Lewes school kids get today off, but I don't, which seems unfair because they aren't the ones with the massive hangover, are they?

This week @richardjbutler.bsky.social and I are in Morocco for a conference @USMBA on Morocco's geoheritage. It's always such a pleasure to be here. We were gifted these beautiful hand made Adratiklit rugs 😍😍

After we published the new specimen of #Spicomellus a few weeks ago, we were contacted by George Blasing, who said he'd bought some on the commercial market, and wanted to return it to Morocco. It arrived last week. Thanks George for doing the right thing in the name of science!

Here's us in the field and prepping the specimen in the lab we set up at USMBA in Fes. Massive thanks to our funders the British Institute of Libyan and Northern African Studies.

This totally flips our understanding of a whole bunch of things about ankylosaur evolution, but probably most significantly, we think that Spicomellus was using its armour for display as well as defence. What else is it doing with those neck spikes??
