Ankylosaur footprints from B.C. and Alberta are first of their kind in the world
Scientists have identified fossil dinosaur footprints from a new species in B.C. and Alberta. They're believed to be the first tracks found in the world that were left by club-tailed ankylosaurs, offering new insights about gaps in the fossil record.

Interesting take from Evan Bernick:

Nobody should think that Judge #Xinis is ensuring that #KilmarAbregoGarcía stays in #ElSalvador for 2 weeks.

Xinis is banking on the government not wanting to spend 2 weeks in #discovery.

Either they just make the call & get him back, or they spend 2 weeks creating a public record of their own fuck ups & end up getting sanctioned.

I also seriously doubt any of #Trump’s ofcls want to give sworn #depositions.

During the roughly month-long expedition, the researchers piloted a remotely operated vehicle to capture photos & video & collect specimens from some of the deepest reaches off #Antarctica. The team also explored areas of the remote BellingshausenSea farther from the ice sheet. Among the species potentially new to #science are crustaceans, sea snails, worms & fish.
It will take months of lab analysis to confirm the discovery of any #NewSpecies.

The discovery, announced Thursday, not only shows how life finds a way into nearly every corner of the world — including entombed under floating glaciers — but also provides a crucial baseline for understanding how deep-sea life may change on a warming planet.
