Time to close the door on August of 2019 with a look back at what this month brought us in Mesozoic paleontology, from the journals and news pages to the scattered paleontology community around the web.

Move it on out, January! Those of us in the Midwestern US are returning to life after a polar vortex, and I emerge from this bracing blast of cold with a gift basket overflowing with paleontological goodies.
