Lone Hunter posted a topic in Fossil News
Fossils of 30-foot prehistoric marine lizard unearthed by Perot paleontologists. Called mosasaurs, the lizards were ‘great white sharks’ of the dinosaur era (From left) Mariah Slovacek, the Paleo Lab collections manager at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, Ron Tykoski, the Perot Museum’s director of paleontology and curator of vertebrate paleontology, and Dori Contreras, a curator of paleobotany at the Perot Museum, excavates part of a mosasaur’s skull, lower jawbones and several vertebrae from its spine found in a creek bed on Friday, July 15, 2022, near the North Sulphur River in Fannin County, TX. The mosasaur was a 30-foot marine lizard that ruled the seas around 80 million years ago. -
My family went to the Perot this morning to check out Australopithecus sediba and Homo naledi at the Origins exhibit. It was amazing to see these fossils of our ancestors. They are much smaller than one would expect from only seeing pictures. If you can get to the Perot, this is a must see before the fossils go back to Africa in March. A. sediba H. naledi

This weekend, the Perot Museum will open its new exhibit of a nearly complete female Columbian mammoth. Yesterday (11/16/15), Dr. Tony Fiorillo and Dr. Ron Tykoski were interviewed on NPR about the mammoth and some other fossil related topics. I even got a mention during the interview! Here's a link to the page with the recording: http://www.npr.org/podcasts/510036/kera-s-think
