I just want to amplify this, it's excellent.

An update to my Dimetrodon skeletal, plus proof that my blog does, in fact still work: www.skeletaldrawing.com/home/i-did-i...

Guilty as charged. It shouldn't take another half decade for the next post, either.

Revamped skeletal drawing of a little known dinosaur named Velociraptor.

Exciting new #Zebrafish research from the #WeinsteinLab, led by Jong Park! “Specialized gas-exchange endothelium of the zebrafish gill” — www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Amazing to see red blood cells moving through the gills! Don’t forget to check out the supplemental movies ;-)

Yes, the #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge trailer is out today...

The Prehistoric Planet trailer is out! It was an honor to work with this incredible team: youtube.com/watch?v=f7kv...

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

Whelp, I suppose this is now Nanotyrannus lethaeus.

Not a stuffed animal I expected to see at my local Half-Priced Boos, but a welcome one.

If you’ve never seen the comic, here it is:

Kids, being cute but demanding since the Cretaceous. A quick little doodle of a baby Maiasaura, inspired by the recent study reinforcing the idea that they stayed in the nest for a good while and needed intensive care. Based on the lovely skeletal by @skeletaldrawing.bsky.social

David James Armsby has done it again! Dinosauria is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of what paleo-media can be. I can't wait for the next one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH57...

Video captured the moment a road buckled and sent a car flying as a heatwave impacted Missouri on Sunday.

"Rampant climate misinformation is turning the crisis into a catastrophe, according to the authors of a new report...The researchers found climate denialism has evolved into campaigns focused on discrediting solutions." - Damian Carrington www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Speaking of the importance of context, pretty proud of my research on the FPA in the late 1980s. #FossilFriday Perhaps the best understood square mile of Upper Jurassic in North America. www.researchgate.net/publication/... @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social

And this, dear reader, is why we use references. The top illustration was done some time ago, largely from memory. A museum wanted to licence it, but I insisted on reworking it first, to make it more accurate and appropriate for an educational setting. The difference is kinda dramatic! 😳

The third article I wrote for Walking with Dinosaurs is out! This one is about Utahraptor and it's gloriously fluffy appearance - and includes some of my colour concept artwork! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a...

I am furiously, flamingly, incandescently, *supernova-levels* of angry right now. Trump is trying to kill NASA science. And hoo boy, do I have something to say about it. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/trump-thre... 🔭 🧪

Apparently, it was #DinosaurDay, which also coincides with the beginning of #Pride month, so yay for us LGBTQ+ dino folk. Though really, every day is Dinosaur Day. 🦕🦖 I don't think I've posted this older Deinonychus drawing here. From 2019, the tail end of the days Before Covid.

Ready for tiny birds from above the Arctic Circle? Our new paper on the Cretaceous origins of Arctic nesting drops today in Science. This project was led by @lnwilson.bsky.social‬ and features amazing fossils recovered by Pat Druckenmiller’s field program in the Prince Creek Formation of Alaska.

🧵🇮🇨Canary Islands in paleomedia📽️🦕 Over the past decades, several documentaries and series about dinosaurs and prehistoric life have been filmed in the Canary Islands. Now that the new edition of #WalkingWithDinosaurs is coming out, let's get to know these shows! #WWD25#dinosaurs#Canarias#FossilFriday

One episode down, #WalkingWithDinosaurs is a welcome return after over a quarter of a century. Visually it’s beautiful with incredibly realised Dino’s, and lush cinematography. The fresh focus on modern day, #paleo science is also a welcome edition to bridge the theory with the fact. 🦖

Haven't given up on #ArtBoost, just overwhelmed. Today's is for Miguelangelo Tornero (can't find him on BSky) who's producing very nice #palaeoart, often of a Gondwanan flavour. Is also currently producing #WalkingWithDinosaurs and #JurassicWorldRebirth    fanart, and it looks great.

Happy to announce that I had an opportunity to help out on the pterosaur designs in the new Walking with Dinosaurs. Congratulations to the creative and scientific team! Toot toot.

my personal favourite #wwd2025 protagonist designs 🥰 rose and george

I watched #wwd2025 ! I really liked it but i wouldn't say it felt much like the 90s walking with dinosaurs. i don't think it'd be as good if it were trying to, though. All around it's a solid documentary- would recommend. Biggest issue is the lack of Triassic episodes, but what we got was great.

@kakapojay.bsky.social explains the thought that goes into designing the #WWD2025 dinosaurs (in this case, Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus): www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a...

The new Walking With Dinosaurs is here! A quarter century ago the original inspired this geeky teenager to study dinosaurs. I hope this series does the same for a new generation! A special full circle moment to work on the series & consult with @arctomet.bsky.social & @skeletaldrawing.bsky.social

Hi friends! The first in a series of articles I wrote about bringing the dinosaurs in WWD to life is out - this one is on Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a...

Walking with Dinosaurs premieres tomorrow at 6.25pm on BBC One and iPlayer, followed by international releases in the weeks after. With that, I thought it was a good time to write this little (but I think important) thread. (1/16)

Holy shit. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... He's actually doing it. Consolidating all payments under the Tsy. Not to toot my own horn too much, but this is exactly what my paper is trying to address and oppose. We need a strong digital fisc vision to counter this.

Sharing this again because people are still making confusing edits of skeletals... @skeletaldrawing.bsky.social www.researchgate.net/publication/...

I woke up in the middle of the night, but was armed with insufficient photographic equipment to properly document the eclipse.

Welcome to the 4th megathread on the #AppleTV series #PrehistoricPlanet season 2 – streaming now! This one concerns ep 4: Oceans. Of #mosasaurs large and small, #ammonites, flightless swimming birds, giant fish, polar #plesiosaurs and more…

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

Gallimimus was not a small animal; Gallimimus, despite being dwarved by its neighbouring distant cousin Deinocheirus, would likely be able to have some overlap in browsing height range. Mindblowing how 2 extremes of the same clade likely cohabited. (diagrams by @skeletaldrawing.bsky.social )

I am very excited for everyone to get to see this!

good week here for @semifossorial.bsky.social with his publication on the "parareptile" Milleropsis. We seem to be moving towards the consensus that crown reptile characteristics were accrued throughout the duration of the Permian royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

It looks great!

A rare example where the sampling has historically been far better in South America than North America and Europe

A cool new paper wherein the "southern hemisphere first" model of dinosaur origins is revealed as a classic example of sampling bias: academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/a...

I am really fond of this piece showing Nanuqsaurus walking under the northern lights in a cold winter day during the Late Cretaceous! Even if I did this illustration a while back I think it is the best one to wish everyone: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! #paleoart #sciart #dinosaurs

Happy holidays to one and all!

And I'm shamelessly plugging Skye's plug of our poster.
