I’ll be presenting on the crania of the enigmatic Cretaceous marine turtle from Japan, Mesodermochelys, at B302 in tomorrow’s poster session! Looking forward to seeing you there🐢13 Nov 2025 22:35 +0000at://did:plc:jk7p32ceaizzxvts7zzogi5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5ka2aafwk23https://bsky.app/profile/seishirotada.bsky.social/post/3m2lrd5mbmc22We have a new paper out! Turtle ancestors evolved a shell—but what else? We found that an unique rostral vasculature was also obtained gradually along the lineage, and that one of the earliest turtles Proganochelys likely retained a mostly ancestral state!🐢 https://sjpp.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s13358-025-00403-307 Oct 2025 09:02 +0000at://did:plc:jk7p32ceaizzxvts7zzogi5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2lrd5mbmc22https://bsky.app/profile/seishirotada.bsky.social/post/3lxch5mkbxs2bMS accepted!🐢26 Aug 2025 11:50 +0000at://did:plc:jk7p32ceaizzxvts7zzogi5j/app.bsky.feed.post/3lxch5mkbxs2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/seishirotada.bsky.social/post/3lr5hjhjdv22cSuccessfully submitted an abstract on a marine turtle from Cretaceous Japan to #2025SVP!
