(3) Together with the Natural History Museum in Bamberg, we are on the trail of Cyclotosaurus and Metoposaurus. One was the alligator of the Triassic, the other lived like a killer catfish.

(2) where vehicles and aircraft parts, even entire crates of dinosaur bones, can be X-rayed. A camera team recorded the processing last summer, @lfu.bayern.de @brkommunikation.bsky.social

Detail for our Baby Pliosaurus, originally sculpted for a 3 metre long selfie point, now prepared as a toy/collectible.

Spontaneous sketch without reference (during a meeting): Microsyops is a stem primate from the Eocene, with traces of fruit consumption.

Ebb and flow! After some projects, we cleaned the workshop of plastic dust, taking about 19 hours in one shift. Now ready for the next team projects: Before returning to sculpting, it is time for historical restorations

more than 10 years ago, this was one of my first pieces in digital painting: Thylacosmilus, the non-cat sabertooth (marsupial!)

Juravenator post-mortal journey as a short cartoon

An ephemeropteran, or mayfly. In Germany, we say ‘Eintagsfliege’ (one-day fly). May-be because it wasn't very careful with its wishes: "Just one day in the Permian, only one day!!"
