Day 1 of working at FLMNH with a beautiful fossil gharial from the Mio-Pliocene (7-4 Ma) of the Dominican Republic! My friend and colleague, Lazaro Viñola, is preparing it while we do some phylogenetic analysis.

Had a blast at the #SVP2022 in Toronto! It was good to talk to some folks and catch up with some friends. Spoiler alert: new fossil crocodylians are coming from #WilsonMantilla's lab!
