Ghosts of Hell Creek, a paleo dance performance focused on the K/Pg mass extinction, is one of the coolest projects I've been involved with. Please help bring this project to its full reality. givebutter.com/prehistoricbo… @UW @UWBiology @burkemuseum
Congrats to Eddy Armstrong on successfully completing his Masters degree in @UW_ESS @Wilson_KPg_Lab @burkemuseum on his research on the “dichobunoid” Antiacodon. Well done!

Welcome, Indotriconodon magnus, India's 10th mammal species from the Late Cretaceous!
Here is the youngest eutriconodontan mammal, Indotriconodon magnus, discovered from the Late Cretaceous of Kutch, India! Co-authored with Prof. Bajpai, Ravi Yadav and @gpwilson11 Hoping to see more mammals with our ongoing work.

This single tooth has important implications--it represents a new major lineage (Eutriconodonta) for the Cretaceous of India, extends the lineage >16 million yrs to the end-Cretaceous, and, relative to contemporaries from India, is the only carnivore and is considerably larger.

New paper finds #marsupials had diverse #diets, and achieved this diversity earlier in the #Cretaceous than other #mammal groups. The authors apply #DentalTopography to 71 extinct members of #Metatheria, finding they had more diverse #ecology than other #LateCretaceous #mammals.

Update on the intertrappean titanosaur that @croc_nerd found back in February (🧵below). The complete femur is now here at the UMMP, ready for preparation and study. We are developing plans to collect the rest of the bones at the site, which are preserved in a hard claystone.
ALT UM Building Manager Rob Ramsburgh with the crated femur.
ALT Three-dimensional model of the site based on photogrammetry. The femur is near the center of the picture. Grid lines and tape are visible on the site itself.
While we game-planned how to collect the large limestone slab (2 x 1 x 0.5 m), which rests low on the banks of the river, U-M grad student @Croc_nerd scouted the other side of the river and made what would become an even bigger discovery in a claystone.

Always a popular thing to watch when a big dinosaur fossil jacket gets moved into the @burkemuseum fossil lab. @KelsieAbrams3 @Wilson_KPg_Lab

Update on this turtle skull we found back in February while working K-Pg intertrappeans in Karnataka, India. It prepped beautifully and has now been µCT'd at the UM-CTEES site (thanks @Rodrigoichthys). We're looking forward to working on this specimen in the upcoming months!

#TeamJudith has wrapped up the second leg of our trip and started the third. After our short but inspiring trip to the Type area of the JRF, We’ve managed to collect over ~1400lbs of sediment in search of those sweet little mammals. @fletcher_levy_ @nicole_lansford @gpwilson11
Thanks for the wonderful exchange @Wilson_KPg_Lab @diapophysis @caestromberg @UWBiology @burkemuseum @NSF
