The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston shut its doors, one of many presidential libraries forced to close as the government shutdown continues.

More ancient chelicerates for #InverteFest! These are: Plesiosiro (Haptopoda), Goniotarbus (Phalangiotarbida), Pleophrynus (Trigonotarbida) and the still surviving hooded tick spider (Ricinulei), which were discovered in the fossil record first and only then also found in the wild.

oh I forgot I made this too...Rare venture to invertebrates. but who doesnt like nice Trigonotarbid

Can you identify this animal? 🔍️👀 Did you get a kick out of shouting “acorn worm” at your phone? If so, you might enjoy playing @fathomverse.bsky.social. This month, you can find acorn worms by playing FathomVerse and earn a special badge! Learn more about acorn worms: www.mbari.org/animal/acorn...

Continuing along, we jumped back into the Ordovician. Fezouata, oh you beautiful bastard! So many gooby, shelly armored critters!

I HATE THEROPOD PALEONTOLOGYY

And here the result of the Patrick Burn Formation #paleostream! This has been our first adventure into the Silurian, a short but important period for eurypterids and our own ancestors. The PB Formation from Scotland preserves a brackish fauna with such elements.

Omnidens hunts Vetulicola, Nectocaris hang behind. Using light as defense only works once eyes start evolving; something this bioluminescent plankton uses to its advantage against its blind predators. #paleoart #sciart #art #artist #paleontology #artistonbluesky 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡

Result from yesterdays Emu Bay Shale #paleostream! This was our first Cambrian formation piece AND No. 50 in this series! This place had some interesting challenges attached to it and it's fauna has some fascinating members.

A conference abstract by Satyanarayana, et al. describes trilobite fossils from the Late Triassic Lower Dharmaram Formation in Telangana. This discovery shows that trilobites DID in fact survive the end-Permian mass extinction and even entered freshwater niches in the wake of the extinction.

Skeletal of the bipedal pseudosuchian (crocodile relative) Etjosuchus recurvidens! This really cool taxon has no other art or even reference made before this one you see here which mind-boggles me More details below:

A young female Caspian Tiger has led her cubs on their first swim, across an estuary channel on the edge of the Caspian Sea. Unfortunately, a particularly massive Beluga Sturgeon has crossed their path, and it’s no stranger to hunting surface-swimming prey. #sciart #paleoart #wildlife #caspiansea

My sketches for this week's flocking #paleostream! All in all, a pretty productive flocking. The Saurosuchus was a little rushed because I had to leave for dinner as it started, but im proud of everything else.

The Herefordshire Biota, a diverse assemblage of animals from the Silurian-age rocks of the UK. Among the largest animals is Thanahita, a strange relative of Hallucigenia with soft papillae lining its back.

Donald Trump, on Gaza: “…I would own this. Think of it as a real estate development for the future. It will be a beautiful piece of land.” Q: Will Palestinians have the right to return? Trump: No, they wouldn't. If they have to return now, it’d be years…it’s not habitable

we gotta stop using "this looks like genAI" as a shorthand for "i don't like this", several artists have been dogpiled and felt the need to delete their accounts after being wrongly accused of using genAI

Elon Musk has shared this fake E! News video on X, which claims USAID has paid millions to Hollywood celebrities to visit Ukraine. The clip, now community noted, is the work of a well-known Russian disinformation campaign that creates fake videos of news outlets to push anti-Ukrainian narratives.

My #paleostream flocking sketches

*tiny elephantine noises*

I explored the Soom Shale in this Joschua Knuppe-style formation piece. This Ordovician lagerstatte was deposited in the Hirnantian glaciation and has many cool creatures, including many undescribed ones.

I only drew the first two sketches for this week's #paleostream flocking

My first digital piece, an Isotelus walking along the seabed unaware of its forthcoming demise

Piscine wyvern dugong

Had a brief talk about how gravid lizards look almost as if they are overweight and as a consequence stumbled over an all time wikipedia caption.

My first piece of art on this account, a quick sketch of Omnidens I drew during my French class
