The deadline is creeping up on us. Get those abstracts written you last minuters!
Really excited to see the abstracts rolling in. Only a week to get yours in!

This has been a long time coming - started this project during the dark days of COVID lockdown. Really have to thank a wonderful team for pushing this paper over the finish line, especially @houdzgeorge.bsky.social who really drove this forward. Very proud.
I am also super proud that we recommend that journals publish abstracts in the language(s) of the country where the fossils originate from - and @geolsoc.bsky.social facilitated us, allowing an Arabic abstract (to our knowledge the first for JGS).
Super proud that our review of the Cretaceous Lagerstätte of Lebanon is finally out! Read all about the different sites, the beautiful soft tissue fossils, the taphonomy, and also how colonialism impacts Lebanese palaeontology! Link: www.lyellcollection.org/doi/full/10....
Wishing I was back strolling the Ordovician coastline of Wales. Found a beauty of a Trilobite at the old disused quarry at Abereiddy.
