@LizardManMeyer @DinosaurNPS I'm so glad we got new fossil gekkotans :b
@SkyeMcDavid @LizardManMeyer @DinosaurNPS When was it last mentioned in the literature?
The amazing #NigelMarven @Nigelmarven will be with us at #TetZooCon this coming Sunday. Nigel is talking about filming adventures - including on #dinosaurs - and is also hanging around and will be available to those who want to chat with him :)
Does this mean I think we should be looking in Antarctica for pygopodoid fossils? Absolutely! This study wouldn't have been possible without my coauthors @ChaseBrownstein, @reptiliferous, and Jacques Gauthier.
At this time, Australia was still contiguous with Antarctica, and it's likely that ancestors of the Australian endemic geckos traveled via Africa and Antarctica to reach Australia, becoming isolated as Australia moved northwards. (Though an overwater route can't is also possible)
We find the evolution of the gecko skull was very complex, and the family tree of geckos and gecko-relatives that we produced supports a European origin for the total-clade, and an Asian origin for modern gekkotans. And we support a Cretaceous origin of Australasian pygopodoids.
Helioscopus is a very early member of the gecko total group, meaning it is more closely related to modern geckos than to any other living group of lizards. It is roughly contemporaneous with close relatives that lived in what is now Germany.
I am so excited to finally share Helioscopus dickersonae with the world! This new species of fossil lizard comes from the Morrison Fromation of western North America, and was found at Dinosaur National Monument (@DinosaurNPS). royalsocietypublishing.org/eprint/TGAT2XR…
New 🦕 paper day! Check out this really cool paper on bifurcated cervical ribs in 🦕 by the @SV_POW duo Matt Wedel & Mike Taylor! Cervical ribs in particular get no love, & the bifurcated ones are downright bizarre. For years I've been hoping that someone would look into this!
Morrison Formation geckoes?! 🤯 (@DinosaurNPS keeps giving and giving)
Super excited to have worked on this study with @LizardManMeyer @reptiliferous @yalepeabody ! We describe a new species of stem-gecko from the Jurassic Morrison Formation, representing perhaps the first stem-gecko from North America! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Our Utah Field Paleontology campers got to visit “ The Disneyland of Dinosaurs” aka @DinosaurNPS this week with a special behind the scenes look from park paleontologist @paleochick!
(5/5) While NPS archaeologists documented new & old evidence of human occupation of the riparian corridor by the Fremont people approximately 800-1,400 years ago, USGS and USFS collaborators visited iconic pictographs of Bighorn sheep and ancient life along the Yampa river.
(4/5) The scarlet hedgehog cactus (Echinocereus Coccineus) is near the northern extent of its range in DINO and is stunning when covered in spring snow - a great example of the beautiful native flora in the park. 💮
(3/5) USGS dendrochronologists collect Ponderosa pine samples using increment borers and with the help of NPS staff and volunteers. Tree cores like this one are used to determine tree age, common tree establishment periods, and to develop long-term climate histories.
(2/5) This was a collaborative effort to conduct archaeological surveys, paleontological surveys, tree coring and drought examination to develop comprehensive information about the natural and cultural resources in a portion of @DinosaurNPS.
(1/5) A group of scientists w/@USGS @NatlParkService @USFWS @BLMNational and volunteers floated ~150 miles of the Yampa River corridor in @DinosaurNPS, collecting data needed to manage & plan for #ClimateChange. Follow their journey! #ClimateR_D #FieldworkFriday #FlashbackFriday
