If you haven't heard... the Dueling Dinosaurs experience is now open @NaturalSciences. It was an eight-year journey to get here filled with amazing moments and fueled by the hearts and souls of so many. Let's look back.

Excited that our newest beastie Fona herzogae made @SmithsonianMag top 10 #dinosaur discoveries of 2024! From the first bones in 2008 to last year's freshest finds, this little burrower keeps turning up. Shout out to the💯s of people who have helped collect Fona over the yrs!

RT @SteveBrusatte: Big thanks to @LeverhulmeTrust for funding this work. Coauthor @Julia__Schwab played a huge role, and did some of this…

Our 5-day scanarama @ESRF has ended! We ran 99 scans on 10 specimens in 5 days. I'm exhausted, but what a crazy good time. The data are incredible & the facilities, so cool. Plus wicked to walk around in the middle of the night & see what others were working on in the wee hrs...

It's 5 a.m. here at @esrfsynchrotron in France, and I've been up for 22 hours 🤪 coding scans of fossils to test whether extinct #dinosaurs produced medullary bone. I feel incredibly lucky to have been trained for this and to spend 5 days in this insanely cool facility!

You know it’s been a long field season when you have to flip your calendar from this to this… 😵‍💫

@RoyalBCMuseum @VictoriaArbour @CanGeo Yay! So exciting!

Trilled to announce that today, @NaturalSciences’s paleontology #citsci project @CretCreatures had its NATIONAL launch 🚀 🤩 inside the community where our microfossils derive—Garfield County High School in Jordan #Montana! This year we’ll be all over the USA!

That's a wrap on our 6-week #MADEx24 Gobi @NatGeo expedition! We collected ~4,000 lbs specimens incl. two new theropod species, lots of hadrosaur, ceratopsian, and ornithomimid bones, eggshell, microverts, and chemostrat for our mid-Cretaceous #dinosaur project! Until next year!

For #FossilFriday finally got to see the skull of Deinocheirus! What a truly bizarre #theropod #dinosaur.

A psittacosaur skull hiding under our last troodontid skeleton was a nice surprise on our last day of the #MADEx24 expedition. Jacket pulled and that’s a wrap folks! #dinodig24

Last two days of our #MADEx24 expedition and I’ve found two partial skeletons of a new trodontid #raptor #dinosaur. Great way to wrap up the #gobi season. Gotta get this beaut out! #dinodig24

Stopped by an ancient temple on our way to base camp#4. Wicked. #MADEx24 #dinodig24

Someone pls tell me why we always find our sauropods in sandstone? And doubly why I don’t just walk away? #MADEx24 #dinodig24

Can’t believe this went off without a hitch. Clean separation, flip, and load of a 2,000 lb block of hadrosaur. A very good day indeed #MADEx24 #dinodig24

More breathtaking Gobi sunsets. This one behind camp. Oh! And did you know Mongolian camels wear 👔 neckties? 😆 #MADEx24 #dinodig24

Lots of new theropod material turning up this week including two skeletons of a super important new species ❤️#MADEx24 #dinodig24
