I might go so far as to say Wikipedia is the single most important website on today’s internet. Maybe the internet in general. It is a necessary resource and we need to do all we can to support it.

A partial recon of the new North American Pleistocene bovid Speleotherium logani. This guy is one of the few NA megafauna from this time described in the last century. Also showing that we still don't have a complete knowledge of the megafauna of Pleistocene NA #paleoart #sciart

This generic green thyreophoran is known in the trade as B9 and famously has a look of terror on its face. The sticker depicting it is by @splendidhand.bsky.social

treat yo self!!!

Did some giraffes and forgot to post them: Canthumeryx, Climacoceras gentryi, Georgiomeryx, and Palaeotragus inexspectatus #paleoart #scieart

Just barely making it for September’s #NearbyNature2025, here’s the Mexican Long-nosed Armadillo. Formerly known as a northern subspecies of the recently-split Nine-banded Armadillo, this is the only Xenarthran native to Alabama today. They are mostly nocturnal insectivores. #wildlife #alabama

Thank you to all that have donated, it means so much to us to know there are people who care. There aren’t words that can convey my gratitude. Please share my link even if you can’t donate yourself, I don’t have the reach here that I did on Twitter and no algorithm means the more reposts the better!

Lots of folks hurting because of the world and all these things. If you can help, here’s one way to do so.

Sophie's been an irrepressable and delightful voice on Paleo-Bluesky for a while, and she and her family need a hand. If you've got some cash to spare, help chip in?

My partner’s disability review is tomorrow and WV’s new qualifications may disqualify her despite her being incapable of working. On top of that, WV is likely not paying out EBT in November due to the shutdown. If so, we’ll be losing over $1,000. Please donate if you can. ko-fi.com/sophiesaurus

Assorted drawings I've done but maybe not shared. Fighting elephant seals, the Paleogene pantodont Coryphodon, a Black rough-necked monitor, and the Triassic trilophosaur Teraterpeton.

Oh hey, it’s #PortfolioDay … again. The less typical diorama stuff this time, annotated... and the thumbnails are going to suck.

A New Age of Reptiles Preview: The Speckled Turterror South America in the New Age of Reptiles is home to a great variety of lineages found nowhere else on the planet. Most notable are megafaunal herbivorous turtles, which have spurred the evolution of formidable predators to hunt them. (1/9)

A newly minted name for Utah's largest dinosaur, Utetitan! Given the amount of time these latest Cret sauropods span, more than one taxon likely. I did not review this manuscript, so let the sauropod researchers weigh in. giw.utahgeology.org/giw/index.ph... @paleontologizing.bsky.social

My time for reading has declined by at least 75% over the last decade or so simply because life doesn’t allow for it. I wish I could sit and read for hours like I once did but I find myself too busy for basically all of my hobbies. This is true for virtually everyone I know who enjoys reading.

Fresh out of the oven, some new #paleoart for #FossilFriday: mother Coelodonta antiquitatis hurries along her offspring, Bort, who spent too long looking for a personalised novelty licence plate on the mammoth steppe. "Come along, Bort!", she says. #fossil #Iceage #paleontology

Been working on King Tyrant promotional stuff today - continuing that with a #FossilFriday #paleoart post. Here's two T. mcraeensis (because of geography) alongside a motherflippin' volcano, because the old artists were right: SOME TYRANNOSAURUS ACTUALLY LIVED NEXT TO BIG VOLCANOES. #KABOOM! #sciart

#Paleoart from 2018 for #FossilFriday, a group of Mystriosuchus steinbergeri pursue fish around a Triassic lagoon. Phytosaurs like these are meant to be freshwater species, but M. steinbergeri didn't get the memo: aspects of their fossil preservation hint at marine habits. #sciart #fossil

To liven up Tuesday afternoon, have some speculative #dinosaurs adapted for modern habitats. Respectively, they are the magnificent and steppe fissurefrills, the berk, and the grand field titan. It's nice to take a break from pure #paleoart every now and then, and designing animals is fun.

An adult Ceratosaurus nasicornis caught juvenile Torvosaurus tanneri. These theropods, like an Allosaurus, were found in the famous Morrison Formation, but their remains are much less common. Despite some differences in food sources, they competed and killed each other from time to time. #paleoart

I’m sure I speak for everyone with a lifelong history in nature in saying just how big of an influence Goodall had on me as a child, she was one of the people who formed my earliest idea of what a zoologist should be. She will be dearly missed.

You've likely seen Auguste Jobin's 1884 reconstruction of Stegosaurus, in which it's portrayed as a spiny-backed, long-necked biped. Great news! Splendidhand Toys have produced a model of Jobin's vision, I'm proud to own one :) Get your own at... www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4... #dinosaurs

This is good but I’m sure scapegoating trans people for it is mere moments away. My disabled partner also won’t be receiving her monthly disability until it reopens, if I understand correctly, but it’s good to see at least some democrats are willing to stand up for us.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Xericeps is another fragmentary Kem Kem pterosaur, known from a distinctively curved lower beak, complete with interesting protrusions on the inside, much like Alanqa - this speculative reconstruction is based loosely on the modern openbill stork! Size comparison below ⬇️ #sciart #paleoart

Boosting my Ko-Fi here again, for anyone who can spare anything that might help my family get out of the US. We are endlessly grateful for literally every cent donated. Commissions are open too, so please do ask if interested! My prices are low and I’m very flexible.

I am horrified by my country, more than I ever thought possible. It is extremely difficult to envision a future where I and so many others aren’t going to be imprisoned or outright killed purely for existing. What safeguards actually exist to help us if the violent rhetoric takes the next step?

Portrait of dinosauromorph Pisanosaurus mertii from the Late Triassic of Argentina. It was either basal ornithishian (as classified initially) or silesaurid. In any case this animal was herbivore or omnivore a little more than a meter long. Neck filaments are speculative. #paleoart #dinosaur

It's marine reptile Tuesday! Here's a digital painting from 2021, featuring #Baptanodon, a Late #Jurassic #ichthyosaur from Wyoming, USA. It was commissioned by The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. The greyscale image was my draft drawing. #SciArt #PaleoArt #Dinosaurs #WildlifeArt #JurassicWorld

Hen & Mouse Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 95 × 64 mm.

my boy..... #Rookshock #oc his ref is so old but the ref still works

Iguanodon

Bramiscus micros- newly discovered early giraffid from the Pakistan. The whole skull of the animal has not yet been found and there is an opinion that it could have had four ossicones, but I still focused on the two existing frontal horns, slightly indicating the theoretical rear ones.

Bohlinia attica- prehistoric giraffid, miocene of Europe.

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

It's marine reptile Monday! Okay, that's not a thing, but here's an old acrylic painting from 1999. It depicts a #Liopleurodon breaching with an unfortunate #Metriorhynchus in its jaws. It was commissioned for a TV series that was never made. #SciArt #PaleoArt #Dinosaurs #Pliosaurs #JurassicWorld

Thanks to those of you that have donated, it really does make a difference and I can’t properly express my gratitude.
