This post has more to do with the coastal part of the title and less to do with the paleo part - I'll be doing more of these, since I figure there's probably some interest from readers regarding live, rather than dead, marine critters. I found Opalescent nudibranchs like this one on my own for the first time. I've always enjoyed tidepooling since...
Welcome to Part 2 of my series on Xenorophus. To read Part 1, click here. Part 3 is on its way! We've been in the middle of buying a new house - which is very exciting! And, also, exhausting. We're preparing for our move in 2.5 months to sunny San Diego - so things are a bit hectic, and I haven't had as much time to devote to blogging. I had intended...

I had very much intended to be writing a part 2 of my Xenorophus blog series right now but the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology jumped the gun and published our walrus paper without letting us know a publication date - I assumed it would be in March sometime [heads up to anyone else 'attempting' to put together a press release for an upcoming paper...
In November I published a rather massive monograph on the fossil dolphin Xenorophus - it's my longest publication to date (166 pages!), and my third published monograph - and one of two published in 2023* (check out my blog summary of my other 2023 monograph on Coronodon here, here, and here). This series of posts will be in four parts: 1) an introduction...
