Palaeontologist and University of Bristol graduate James Ronan has launched a new monthly newsletter for fans of palaeontology.  Entitled “The Palaeo Minute” it is packed with insights into palaeontological research, information about fossil discoveries and research.  Published in the middle of each month, James intends to explore a wide range of topics.  For example, his first newsletter available for free explores how the tyrannosaurs became the apex predators over much of the Northern Hemisphere during the Late Cretaceous.

This free edition of “The Palaeo Minute” is entitled: “The Secrets of Tyrannosaurs: Growth, Dominance, and Evolution”.
