New article out on digital paleontology!Hello! Thank you again to everyone for the support so far. A cool article by Alex Witze has come out at Science News on research done by myself and others who use CT scans to digitally examine and experiment with fossils! Send me a message if you would like a PDF of the article.

Why the long face? Functional morphology of a unique fossil porpoise

Yale University

Fossil whale skulls offer unique insights into evolution and adaptation to life in water. Aspects of skull shape can supply critical data on the ecology, diversity, and disparity of ancient organisms. I will test hypotheses for the function of the bizarre lower jaws (never seen before in a mammal) of the extinct porpoise, Semirostrum ceruttii.
