Baby tyrannosaurs

Hatchling tyrannosaurs would have been among the largest animals ever to hatch from an egg. They also would have looked a lot like their parents

Happy #coosday! Still sorting through all my photos from @britpro and I’s amazing honeymoon in Speyside, but I thought I’d share this baby coo and its mama. They were very friendly and curious, they came right up to the fence to see what we were up to. I always get excited to see majestic Highland Cows.

Happy #FossilFriday! Tomorrow, March 27th, I’ll be presenting some of my latest research on #baby #tyrannosaurs from #Alberta and #Montana! The talk will tell the story of how we discovered these tiny bones and worked out their identities, and I’ll give you a peek into some of the future #research we hope to do with these amazing #fossils

With our favourite restaurants (@abbey_bar_edinburgh) closed for #lockdown, @britpro and I have had to cook for ourselves lately. Fortunately we’ve been able to get great fresh, local seafood from @eddiesedinburgh, top-quality cuts from @amathiesonbutcher, and when we’re following the amazing recipes from @tom_kitchin we can’t go wrong! Cooking is one of the few things we can look forward to!

Incredibly excited to share our new paper on #baby #tyrannosaurs, out now at the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences! These #fossils show that baby tyrannosaurs were among the biggest creatures to ever hatch from an egg, and that they looked just like their parents!

#fossilfriday: the third episode of Palaeontologist’s Perspective is out! This episode will take you inside dinosaur bones to show you how we learn about dinosaur growth and physiology! Link to the full video in my bio.

As someone who read a lot of @NatGeo as a kid, I’m incredibly proud and humbled to have my work featured on their website. A great story by @laelaps and some great #paleoart by Julius Csotonyi (@JCsotonyi on Twitter) and Natalia Jagielska (@palaeo_natalia / @WryCritic on Twitter).
