Just wanted to give a quick shout out to some old fossil
friends of mine. Horton Bluff/Blue Beach is a pretty cool place and I have fond
memories of field trips out there during my Dalhousie days. Between this new paper and
the recent paper describing the Permian to Jurassic assemblage of tetrapods,
it's been a good time for Nova Scotia palaeontology.
Your friendly neighbourhood ankylosaur palaeontologist, in the before time (i.e. 2003), at Horton Bluff, following in her tetrapod ancestor's footprints. It's goopy there.
Which of course makes me miss it all terribly.
