Did you know that many baby ankylosaurs hatched without tail clubs or much armour? Ankylosaur tail clubs and body armour developed as the animals grew, reaching sizes similar to this Euoplocephalus tail shown in the first two photos. #RTMPCollections
On a recent visit to the UAlberta Collections I got to check out the new palaeontology display with casts of “Havoc” the Saurornitholestes and “Baby” the juvenile Chasmosaurus. #FossilFriday
This fossil was discovered in Alberta. Can you identify the animal this vertebra belonged to? #RTMPFossilChallenge
Huge thanks to supporters of the Fossil Festival, The Palaeontological Association. The PalAss was founded in 1957 to promote the study of palaeontology via the publication of journals, hosting conferences, and funding grants and awards.🧵

If you told 18 year old me, having failed biology at A level, that I’d be receiving an award for my palaeontology research from the Royal Society of Biology i would’ve laughed in your face. Anyways, I’m at the House of Commons for the ceremony! 😃🦕🦖
