Haven't posted for #FossilFriday in a long time, and I'm a day late - oh well! Large semionotid fish, maybe Lophionotus @gombessagirl. From the Lower #Jurassic Moenave Formation @stgeorgedino in SW #Utah. This is one of 100 specimens going into new exhibits under construction.

A very cool new 🦕paper led by Adams et al! Among the most famous of dinosaur tracks, the 'swimming sauropod' tracks collected by RT Bird from Texas in 1940 aren't actually swimming traces according to this new study! ('25 is shaping up to be a year for cool 🦕trace studies...)

My predecessor as State Paleontologist, Dave Gillette passed away on Feb. 10th. He will be missed. He oversaw the excavation of the Huntington Mammoth. @PrehistoricMus @PaleoSoc @utahgeological

We need help with excavation of bone beds at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site in SW Utah. We need heavy excavation equipment to move a large fossil-rich rock pile and in place rock above the bone beds. The City will break ground for an electrical substation in early April.

Who sat here?! Well, this mark was produced by a dinosaur sitting down. Its feet are flat on the ground, and the dinosaur’s ischia or hip bones make a circular imprint at the bottom. #FossilFriday

Utah' Cambrian record is a critically significant record of the initial diversification of multicellular life. The story is largely ignored in Utah. @BLMUtah @utahgeological @UtahPaleo
🚨Paper alert🚨Meet Polygoniella turrelli, our latest addition to the remarkable Cambrian Marjum Biota of Utah. This 500-million-year-old sponge displays a complex anatomy that has no equivalent amongst poriferans of that time. @Ldelmouro @InvertebratePal doi.org/10.1098/rsos.231845

For #FossilFriday, Shucaris ankylosskelos, a radiodont from the Chengjiang Biota of Cambrian China. Just formally published last month, fossils of it have been known since 1995.
