Palaeontological time travelers Kirstin Brink (right photo) and Jessica Hawthorn (left photo) from the Reisz Lab recently published in Palaeontology.

Their paper describes tracks and trackways of a rare vertebrate herbivore and a trace of an invertebrate found in association for the first time outside of Europe. The association of these traces allows for a palaeoecological interpretation of the PEI locality and highlights the scarcity of large-bodied herbivores in the Early Permian.

Nice work, Kirstin and Jessica!
