#TetZooMCon Massive thx to those I spoke with in the after party, huge fun. I was slightly drunk for part of it, but here's a list of what I remember talking about. Thread...
Dinosaur cloacal research, spoon worms and their sexual dimorphism, leeches and the parts of the human body they'll feed from or invade, the candiru & whether that thing is true, candiru-acu and those horrible photos, Princess Diana, Triceratops, extreme ontogeny in dinosaurs...
The backstory to Irritator, niche partitioning in spinosaurids, Carnotaurus toys, Spinosaurus toys, whether giant salamanders could eat you, temnospondyl bite strength, crab-eating snakes, gulls, shearwaters, whale-watching in the Bay of Biscay, the Deadly Equines book...
The death of Bertha Walt, carnivory in herbivores, the Farinã & Blanco predatory megathere hypothesis, carnivory in armadillos, the aquatic Spinosaurus model, Duane Nash's Dinosaur Enlightenment, the integument of Tyrannosaurus, the Zallinger mural, Aegirosaurus mummies...
Colour schemes for ichthyosaurs, bioluminescence in aquatic tetrapods, Thalassodraco vs Thalassiodracon, the troodontid model at the Natural History Museum, Bob's Borealopelta, my broken ribs, injuries and broken bones, adders, venomosity in colubroids, necrotising fasciitis...
The 'relict dicynodont' hypothesis, Walking With Dinosaurs, giant pandas and horse dung, Matt Dempsey's facial scar, Augustinia, José Bonaparte and that incident with the eggs, museum exhibits of the pre-1990s.... OK, that'll do. You get the idea.
Oh -- I forgot the creationist books, the fire-breathing Parasaurolophus images, Phil Senter's book, the Golden Book of Dinosaurs, Thomas's story about a wasp going in his mouth, the bear attacks book and VAPORWAVE.
