Something I learned from working with @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social and @seismic-shrimp.bsky.social with researching formations and paleontological localities for the Formation Pieces is just how many amazing sites there are. We have so far drawn over 70 murals and have a lot more we could draw 1/2

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Results from the last Flocking #paleostream of the year! Appalachiosaurus, Lijiangosaurus, Teraterpeton and Gerrothorax.

Ebenezer Scrooge was stingy and mean but he was absolutely justified in disliking Christmas, and he did not deserve to have his individuality peer pressured out of him by three ghosts.

Buccaspinea cooperi, a hurdiid radiodont from the Cambrian of Utah, known for its large oral-cone mouth that makes up nearly a quarter of its body length.

Vanavond in het 8 uur journaal over ons nieuwe onderzoek waarin wij ontdekten dat mosasauriërs ook in rivieren voorkwamen! #aardwetenschappen #paleontologie #mosasaurus @vuamsterdam.bsky.social @uuvertpalaeo.bsky.social @ndgspaleo.bsky.social @perahlberg.bsky.social @boydpaleo.bsky.social

Only two pieces tonight on #paleostream Funnily quite similar in lighting conditions :P First is the Hell Creek mosasaur second is Kaatedocus, taking into account the recently described melanosomes and their potential for coloration.

🌟 Happy to announce that the next 23rd EAVP @eavpalaeo.bsky.social conference 🇱🇹 is supported by the @thepalass.bsky.social Grant-in-Aid 🙌🥳 #grant #conference #PalAss25 #EAVP2026 #vilnius #lithuania

"I Contain Multitudes" This digitally painted piece honors coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our cities and the wilderness today. The thread gives descriptions of all the extinct organisms shown in this piece (not to scale)

Today I dared to ask what Stitch would look like as an Anurognathus. #art #paleoart #stitch

Behold: another reason to not use Google. The search results recently have become so much worse. I usually use @ecosiasearch.bsky.social (right side) first these days.

Result from the Mammoth Site #paleostream! This has been our first mammoth steppe formation stream, dwelling into some the classic giants of the Pleistocene. This site in South Dakota offered a unique opportunity is that is has so much stuff preserved in situ that we can...

Results from the #paleostream! A wish by @vincent-notitalian.bsky.social showing a spec evo version of the Toarcian, Falciscaris and Zavacephale.

And here the results from the Solnhofen #paleostream! This image depicts large parts of the terrestrial fauna of the Altmühltal Formation, the best understood part of the litographic limestone formations of Germany. There were several reasons for gong onto land despite...

For clarification, i don't go "WAHH" at people with the flag behind me lol. It's for comedic purposes lol

Got informed about some sad news. Garfield Minott, a prolific dinosaur modeller, special effects and palaeoartist, recognised for contributions to the description of dinosaur binocular vision, passed away at age of 58.

Did you know. That the meme-explosion that was the wooden model of Sacabambaspis (an Ordovician jawless fish) held at a Museum in Helsinki, was created by a pioneering Estonian fish paleontologist and palaeoartist, Elga Mark-Kurik. 🧵

Trump Defends Demolition Of Yggdrasil, Ancient Tree Of Life

Let me attempt to articulate something. As a former participant in the "teenage nerds talk about dinosaurs online" scene, I think some of us who follow paleontology as adults or do dinosaur stuff professionally care too much about the specifics of what's being discussed there. (cont'd)

"Cretaceous Thriller" Sinocalliopteryx: the bird-swallowing dinosaur 🪶

Moi je comprends France Info d'inviter Michel Onfray. Quand on a entendu cette explication scientifique, on se dit forcément ce mec c'est un crack, il nous le faut pour l'émission

Ce type de réaction dit absolument tout. - « Nous », les puissants, ne pouvons tolérer d'aller en prison (& d'être soumis à la loi commune) - Et donc il y a « eux », les « animaux », qui peuvent y aller. Ce n'est pas anecdotique : C'est la clef des politiques pénales de ces dernières décennies.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

A trio of Caviramus (considering Raeticodactylus synonymous) soaring the skies of Late Triassic Europe This is an illustration from my library of work available for non exclusive licensing #paleoart #sciart #pterosaurs

For #Arachtober, here is a spider that's not a spider. It's Petrophila jaliscalis, a jumping-spider-mimicking moth - see the face-on spider pattern, with orange legs and sparkly dark eyes? I love finding these - I think they breed in my small goldfish pond, because the caterpillars are aquatic. 🌿🐙

New Study Shows That Bones Are Incredibly Cool

To brighten up a wet and rainy #FossilFriday, here's my take on the recently described drepanosaur Mirasaura grauvogeli. It's shown among the conifer Voltzia, a plant found in abundance in the same beds as Mirasaura. The pointed sail shape is based on fossil data... #sciart #fossils #paleontology

It's marine reptile Thursday! Here's my digital painting of the giant #ichthyosaur, #Temnodontosaurus, or, as BBC News called it, the " #SeaDragon Dinosaur Dolphin." This is the 10m long Rutland specimen (Larkin et al 2023). #SciArt #PaleoArt #MarineReptiles #WildlifeArt #Jurassic #JurassicWorld

Therizinosaurs are, without a doubt, some of the most interesting groups of theropod dinosaurs Here you have a selection of a few species that I reconstructed for the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum in Japan for their 25th Anniversary Special Exhibition #paleoart #sciart #dinosaurs

And of course big up to the artists at NICE Studios who made all these ancient fishes come back yo life 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

More temporary palaeo exhibitions to check out in China, fossil fish in "Touch the Deep Ocean". At the Phoenix Centre, Beijing.

Great exhibition, closing soon ! A lot of effort was put into this project ! Here are some pictures from my visit some time ago :

Every day, I pray for a world where everyone is kind and respectful of each other, regardless of gender. May unreasonable attacks against transgender people end🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 May today be filled with happiness and love for you all🤍
