  1. #African #FossilFriday

    The survivors of the #Permian #Extinction I mentioned last week included the #archosaurs, the lineage of #reptiles that includes #crocodiles, #dinosaurs, and #birds. This #fossil from the subsequent #Triassic is from a very close #dinosaur relative. Found in the #Luangwa Valley of #Zambia 🇿🇲, it was named Lutungutali sitwensis, #Bemba for "high hip" and named in honor of the village of Sitwe.

    Figure from Peecook et al. 2013
