Explaining skeletal aggregations is not easy, especially when stating gregariousness. Why should members of a social group die in a one-off incident? Here is an outdated sketch drawn for the research team. Later, they opted for lightning strike, which is physically more appropriate than the monster wave, but still admitting a perplexing question.

🔥New paper out now in Journal of Human Evolution🔥

Grăunceanu (Romania) with an estimated age >1.95 Ma is not an archaeological site!

A new study by the MONREPOS Archaeological Research Centre (LEIZA), Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and Leiden University has refuted the evidence of human activity in the form of cut marks on animal bones.

Dinosaur mummies unlock secrets of their real-life appearance

Duck-billed dinosaur fleshy midline and hooves reveal terrestrial clay-template “mummification” https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adw3536

"the duck-billed dinosaur had a fleshy crest over neck and trunk, a fleshy spike row over hips and tail and hooves capping the toes of the hind feet... the earliest hooves documented in a land vertebrate, the first confirmed hooved reptile"

I encountered the word "taphonomy" for the first time today. Basing a conjecture on its Greek roots, I thought it might refer to the law and customs pertaining to graves and burials.

My guess was wrong:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taphonomy

I don't mean any disrespect to paleontologists here when I say I wish my guess had been right. I suppose it's a consequence of my being less interested in the natural sciences than the social sciences and humanities.
