After the sheep skull ten days ago, here is Logan the wallaby in all his glory: {.aligncenter .size-full .wp-image-10921 loading=“lazy” attachment-id=“10921” permalink=“http://svpow.com/2014/10/15/heres-that-wallaby-skull-multiview-you-ordered/wallaby-skull-multiview/” orig-file=“https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/wallaby-skull-multiview.jpeg” orig-size=“6833,5082” comments-opened=“1”
Remember I picked up those three sheep skulls (and some other bones, including a complete neck) from a shallow pit in a field near where we live? Here is first of the skulls, cleaned up and photographed in orthogonal views.
Just over a year ago, in his write-up of the Edinburgh SVPCA, Matt included a photo of me standing in front of a Giant Irish Elk ( Megaloceros ), positioned so that the antlers seem to be growing out of my head. Matt finished his post with a background-free version of that photo, and commented: It has come to pass.
Just a quick photo-post today. A couple of months ago, walking around the fields near our house, I found a broad shallow pit with a lot of a sheep skeletal elements in it. I took my youngest son out on an expedition, and we rescued the good material. I’ve cleaned up the first two (of three) skulls. Here is the smaller of the two — which is also more complete, and the big one has lost its nasals.
A couple of times now, I’ve pitched in an abstract for a Masters project looking at neck cartilage, hoping someone at Bristol will work on it with me co-supervising, but so far no-one’s bitten.
We have good descriptions of the proximal parts of the cervical ribs for lots of sauropods.

I was skim-reading the Political Studies Association’s evidence submitted to RCUK’s review. I was struck by one part that perpetuates a common but completely unfounded misapprehension: There may be concern, but it’s misplaced. Using CC By does not allow your work to be misrepresented.
I’ve always thought of SVPCA as a pretty well gender-balanced conference: if not 50-50 men and women, then no more than 60-40 slanted towards men. So imagine my surprise when I ran the actual numbers. 1. Delegates. I went through the delegate list at the back of the abstracts book, counting the men and women. Those I knew, or whose name made it obvious, I noted down;
