Happy to share our latest paper with @Comp_PaleoBio! We combine nanoindentation and biomechanical modelling to investigate skull bone stiffness in Gallotia lizards, including extinct giant species, and its implications for palaeobiological inference.

¡Súper feliz de compartir el último trabajo en el que colaboro con el increíble equipo de @Comp_PaleoBio ! 🦎✨
¿Cómo sabíamos lo "fuerte" que era la mordida de los animales extintos si no podemos medir sus huesos directamente? 👇

Footprints left by an animal 280 million years ago have been discovered in the Serra de Tramuntana, Mallorca
These are fossilized gorgonopsian tracks, a Permian predator considered the earliest known ancestor of mammals

🎓🦎 Today we're attending the PhD thesis defense of Chabier de Jaime (@Comp_PaleoBio).
His research explores Permian and Triassic vertebrate palaeobiodiversity from the NE of the Iberian Peninsula — a key period in Earth's evolutionary history.
Good luck, Chabi! 💪
