New paper on dinosaur body temperatures!

Posted on February 14, 2020 by rrdawson

Cross-sectional view (cross-polarized light) of fossil eggshell produced by most likely a dwarfed titanosaur, or a small hadrosaur dinosaur from the Maastrichtian of Romania.

Hey, check out our new paper on using clumped isotopes in fossil eggshell to estimates dinosaur body temperatures.

Here’s the link to Science Advances: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/7/eaax9361 .full.
