AAS FOSSILS MOVE TO THE PEROT
This summer, my friend and colleague, Dr. Derek Main, passed away suddenly and I had to step in to continue his work with the Arlington Archosaur Site. We were in the process of finding a new home for the collection. All AAS fossil material was stabilized, catalogued, and packed for transfer to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. The collection is now being unpacked and moved into the Perot collections. A short news piece on the transfer can be found here.

If you've been following the news lately, you're aware that a rare Tyrannosaurus (tarbosaurus) bataar was poached from Mongolia and made its way to the US, where it was to be auctioned in New York. Now, a new legal challenge has been filed that could return the iconic national treasure back to its native land and preserve it for both the people of Mongolia and scientists interested in its proper study. I have created a page with copies of the press release and legal filing here.

Lots of news! First and foremost, my collaborators and I had a a new paper featured on the cover of the February issue of Palaios on the feeding behavior of the AAS crocodyliform as shown by bite marks on turtle and dinosaur bones. Check it out here. The excellent artwork featured above is by Jude Swales.
