Press/Media: Expert Comment

Description

This is an article in The Conversation UK, responding to the publication of Danuvius guggenmosi in Nature in November 2019.

We argue that although Danuvius is a very exciting fossil, its anatomy does not tell us about its behaviour to the level of detail the authors suggest.

This is an expert commentary that we did which has triggered other media interest.
