Mongolestes and Andrewsarchus, hoofed generalists #paleoart

Almost done with this commission! 😁 #paleoart

Steppe lion enjoys the last days of summer. But mornings are getting colder, winter is coming.

A foggy morning in late Cretaceous Montana. The carcass of a large softshell turtle becomes a battleground for Hell Creek's two most ferocious apex predators... I'm a little late to nano hype but I've got to fill my quota for one non-avian dinosaur per year #paleoart #sciart #backinhell

Colored sketch of the newly-validated Nanotyrannus lancensis, though it’s not having a good time. This baby has found itself grappled by a particularly ambitious Didelphodon, after wandering a little too far from home. #backinhell #paleoart #sciart #cretaceous

Moa Remains

I've been working on a fully animated video about #Nanotyrannus since the paper dropped. I wanted to share a scene of a #Tyrannosaurus rex & N. lethaeus walking alongside each other, mainly for visual comparison. (Walk cycle animation rig made by @tylerstoneart.bsky.social in #aftereffects)

Be weary of the beardogs! These swift pack hunters are not to be taken lightly. New update (backers only) posted to our Kickstarter! Link in thread

Mammoth spotted in South Poland! Actually, a to-scale model by Studio Kamyk for the Jegiellonian University Nature Education Centre, Krakow. 😍

Years of work and collab with an incredible team at #BBCStudios #AppleTV @framestore.bsky.social ... involving so many camera operators, writers, producers, effects people, artists and others, #PrehistoricPlanetaIceAge is out on #AppleTV Nov 26th. A definitive vision of Ice Age wildlife worldwide.

Foggy morning in Late Pleistocene Patagonia. #Art #SciArt #artbyjulio

a greater rhea daddy and his chicks hang out with a 1+ ton Glossotherium robustum about 17 KYA in Pleistocene Argentina 🇦🇷! …. #paleoart #iceage #sloth #megafauna #birds #art #procreate

and then Papa Rhea falls nervous and a bit defensive when his chicks check out an absolute behemoth - a female Megatherium americanum! Pleistocene Argentina, ~17,000 years ago. #paleoart #iceage #sloth

On the coast of Pliocene California, a Homotherium pounces upon a newborn Herpetocetus morrowi. These are Cetotheres, small baleen whales that thrived during the Miocene/Pliocene. For the sabertooth, such a tiny calf so close to shore is a rare treat. #paleoart #sciart #pliocene #california

The reality of being a freelancer is that you end up working a lot of evenings and nights, something #mammals have been doing since the Mesozoic. Here's new #paleoart of two #Jurassic gliding Mammaliaformes, Arboroharamiya, starting their day as the sun sets 160 million years ago. #sciart #fossil

"Rhinoceroses have been around for over 40 million years and have been found on all continents except South America and Antarctica. This recently discovered Arctic rhino lived about 23 million years ago, during the Early Miocene." 🌄🦴🦏 #Rhinoceros #Canada #Paleontology #Prehistory #Biology

Some work out recently made, cetotherium riabinini is a small baleen whale from the Late Miocene of the Eastern Paratethys sea (Ukraine), a almost complete individual show it had remarkable body proportions unlike modern elongated species in a minuscule size.

Second installment of #gomphtober2025 skeleton of gomphotherium from Mt. Diablo, California. Was on display at UC Berkeley, don't know if it still is. #fossilfriday #prehistoriccalifornia #gomphotherium #cenozoic #miocene #elephant #fossil

A Girl and her Dinocrocuta Messing around with some new brushes #paleoart #sciart

To cool off we leave the tropics and enter the Temperate Pluvial Forests to the south of Lemuria. Between ancient trees we come across a fantastic sight, as a mixed herd of noasaurids and large multituberculates come to the shore of a small stream to drink.

Manouria morla. A new tortoise from Early Miocene Czechia. Link to paper below

Qilin tungurensis- A newly identified new genus of giraffe from the Miocene of Inner Mongolia, China.

Better late than never! The tropical rainforest is our most diverse as well as one of the most challenging environments of Lemuria. A complex tangle of flora and fauna that got more than 500 submissions! i am still not 100% happy with this but at some point you have to let go...

The domestic Mabanwo bapu (commonly known by its English mondegreens “lobapu” and “lofafu”) is a breed of fowl-sized Alektoriid. Commonly kept for meat and eggs, it represents an ancient Columbimorph lineage endemic to Salotum, where it is seen everywhere from backyard gardens to industrial farms.

#SciArtSeptember 4 - Riverbank Many mammals across the world have evolved an otter-like body shape and lifestyle. Perhaps the oddest and one of the most obscure is the West African giant otter shrew (Potamogale velox). Not an otter, not a shrew, but a distant cousin of elephants!

A aum sits down on the steps of his apartment to take a smoke break away from his family. He looks across the street at a pair of teenage boys making a ruckus and scratches his neck in annoyance. He’s told them off a hundred times before in his mind, but they’re asking for another telling off…

It’s time to move it-move it yall. Aepyornis maximus and Pachylemur jullyi for an upcoming piece… 👀 …. #paleoart #madagascar #lemur #bird #pleistocene #megafauna

A Thylacoleo and Her Joey

Somewhere in late Miocene Australia, a pair of Dromornis stirtoni renew their bond by dancing and gifting each other in the rain. …. #paleoart #ink #art #extinct #bird #duck #megafauna

steller’s sea cow (Hydrodamalis giganteus) I recently read Beasts of the Sea by Iida Turpeinen that recounts in dramatic fashion the voyage of Steller, the discovery, subsequent extinction, and the discovery of the skeleton of one and how it ended up In Helsinki. A wonderful book you should read.

The herd

Five years ago, my second PhD paper came out: doi.org/10.1098/rspb... In it, I looked at the body mass of the recently extinct thylacine (aka Tasmanian tiger) & found that it was only about half as big as popularly thought. Let's revisit the paper, & see where we are today. 🧪🧵 #evobio #Mammals

Cover to my first art book collection Carbon Based. Hoping people will dig it & hoping it’ll allow me to catch up on some things & hopefully seek relief for my back problems I’m always whining about. Thanks guys! www.kickstarter.com/projects/oni...

Australopithecus anamensis #sciart

x6ud.github.io#/ Very cool site where you can look up animal skull reference angles and pair that with pictures of the animal at that angle

Australopithecus afarensis in fear. I often wonder how we would react seeing a living australopithecine would we feel amused or would they fall even deeper in to uncanny valley and evoke tremendous unease in us. #sciart

Qilin tungurensis (formally Palaeotragus tungurensis) have a new genus name now! Mainly based on the holotype and paratype AMNH 26582/26583, the part of horn core based on the refered IVPP V33851.

Qilin tungurensis my beloved #paleoart

Postschizotherium intermedium, a large Pliohyracids with a hippo-like head. For almost a hundred year, people can only learn about this animal through its skulls and teeth. With no any thing about the postcranial, it's very hard to accurately reconstruct the entire body shape. 1/
