Explodosaurus redux

Explodosaurus reconstruction
Yes, that pile of rubble is the specimen.
It's taken a lot of puzzlework to get the pieces back together, but they are looking better every day. The skull will end up being under 17 inches long when finished. Most bones are still present and I am actually a bit shocked how much of it has fit. Now, how to get the bleached bone to look like the in situ material....

Patting ourselves on the back
We came in at #50 with our Bonnerichthys paper that came out in Science in February.
I can't reveal much more yet, but there is further exciting research happening with this critter, so stay tuned.
And lastly: the Sternberg Museum in Hays, KS is putting their Bonnerichthys gladius specimen (that RMDRC helped collect and prepare) on public display starting this weekend, so be sure to stop in and say "Hi"!

DRAMATIC MUSIC TIME!
Perhaps it's best to hit mute.
