SciTechDaily: Dinosaur or Early Bird? 210-Million-Year-Old Southern African Footprints Fuel Scientific Debate
> These tracks pre-date the oldest bird bone by around 60 million years. Ancient animals were walking around on bird-like feet over 210 million years ago, according to a study published on November 29, 2023, in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Miengah Abrahams and Emese M.

I have participated in 3rd Crossing the Palaeontological - Ecological Gap conference 😍 It was an amazing experience! Thank you all who made it happen!
Also, I want to thank my master thesis supervisor Darja Dankina ❤️ She made it possible for me to participate - poster article is her work with a smaller part of it being my Ms.

CW: Nsfw etymology
So, I was assuming the "mast" in the name Mastodon was related to the "mast" in "masticate"
(because surely it's got grinding molars in there behind the tusks)
BUT NOPE
"A mastodon (mastós 'breast' + odoús 'tooth') is any proboscidean belonging to the extinct genus Mammut"
It's named after BREAST TEETH
TEETH BREASTS... DEN-TA-TAS
