"According to a study published in Palaeontologia Electronica, commercial fossil collecting has walled off so many T. rex fossils to scientists that it has severely hindered the scientific record.

The study reveals a sobering stat: of the 141 scientifically useful T. rex fossils known to exist, over half—71 specimens—are in private or commercial hands, rather than public museums or accredited research institutions. That’s a major problem, because in science, replicability is everything. Even if researchers once studied a fossil, its scientific value drops if future teams can’t access it. If a fossil is locked in a collector’s mansion or a storage unit, other scientists can’t study it. They can’t confirm findings, test new hypotheses, or build on the research."

Gizmodo · Wealthy Collectors Are Snatching Up T. Rex Fossils, Leaving Scientists BehindMore than half of the world's scientifically useful T. rexes are in the hands of private or commercial owners, and not accessible to scientists, according to research.

Did you miss last Friday's meeting? Luckily, we recorded both talks and they are now available on our YouTube page!

Dr. Leslie Eliuk: Mammoth site, Hot Springs, South Dakota: A Photo Tour youtu.be/JCS1ve59glg
Dr. Francois Therrien - What really killed the dinosaurs: a look at the latest developments youtu.be/GG_QgRIkMQ8

Thanks to both presenters for their presentations!

New open-access paper! A team including Dr. Darla Zelenitsky (UCalgary) describes Duonychus tsogtbaatari, a bizarre two-fingered therizinosaur from Cretaceous Mongolia. Its huge claws and reduced fingers provide new insight into theropod evolution and forelimb reduction. Exceptional fossil preservation even shows the keratin sheath on the claws!

Painting of a Duonychus in a forest. The forest looks quite tropical and dense. The Duonychus is covered in fine feathers with longer feathers on the forelimbs. It's using its two giant claws on each hand to pull the leaves in towards its mouth.
A skeletal of Duonychus, showing which elements of the skeleton were found and which are inferred. The found bones include many in the hip, the back, and the forelimbs / claws. Surrounding the illustration are pictures of the fossil bones themselves.
A closeup illustration of the hands of Duonychus. It has only two fingers, each with enormous claws.

2 sides of a walnut sized ‘stone’ I found on Rosemarkie Beach yesterday. Go past the crescent shaped, sandy beach and you reach the world of Hugh Miller. Rocks of all shapes, textures, colours and ages protrude from the sand to invite investigation. In amongst the fractured bedrock, gems of fossils can be found which only deepened the mystery for him. This object is probably the most beautiful and satisfying thing I have ever found. Happy birthday to me. #geology #fossils #blackisle #hughmiller

“ For the first time, footprints of armored dinosaurs with tail clubs have been identified, following discoveries made in the Canadian Rockies. The 100-million-year-old fossilized footprints were found at sites at both Tumbler Ridge, BC, and northwestern Alberta.”
