New article on Early Cretaceous flora of Victoria, Australia, with detailed plants in these formerly polar environments, including gorgeous artwork by @bobnichollsart.bsky.social. (P.S. Let me know when you see the theropod dinosaur tracks!) #FossilFriday 🧪🌿🪨 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

G'day folks I've got some online talks lined up this coming month for Australian heritage festival I'll be speaking with Adele Pentland and Sally Hurst in three online talks - where we've dug, palaeontology questions, and why Australovenator is the best thing out of Australia since VB 😉

What's that sneaking up behind you? A new dinosaur discovery to be announced later today. Stay tuned...

They’ve only waited 120Ma. A new glimpse into theropod diversity from Early Cretaceous Australia: megaraptorids, an unenlagiine, and for the first time, carcharodontosaurians. Read it here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Artwork by Jonathan Metzger. 1/10

AND HERE IT IS! It was really hard to not tell everyone because I knew for more than 2 years now. Please welcome Tameryraptor, a new name for Stromers carcharodontosaurid. Based on Stromers descriptions, drawings and newly found photographs the authors conclude... #paleoart #sciart #scicomm

Very very very quick and dirty sketch. Diamantinasaurus + cf. Wollemia sp.

Manuscript accepted! 👀

New paper alert, just in time for #FossilFriday! A reevaluation of the #crocodylian fossils from the #Pliocene Otibanda Formation in Papua New Guinea. For a quick summary, check out the thread below 🧵👇 You can read the paper here (contact me if you need a PDF): www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Spending time with these old cronies, Megalosaurus and Cetiosaurus, in coming weeks. The Megalosaurus in this #paleoart piece from 2020 is subtly different to how I might draw it now: I'd probably make it a little longer in snout and body, and maybe add a nasal crest. #sciart #dinosaurs

Excited to share my latest publication on #brainstimulation! In this study, we present the first evidence-based neuronal framework for understanding the behavioural effects of #tDCS. doi.org/10.1093/brai... #neuromodulation

Easy way to follow all the Palaeo accounts!

This is not a drill, a mummified sabretooth cat has been published from the #Pleistocene permafrost of Russia. It's a Homotherium cub! The team (Lopatin et al.) reckon it's Homotherium latidens. It's too young to have enlarged upper canines. Paper is OA ... www.nature.com/articles/s41... cont...

Howdy folks! My name’s Jake, I’m a vertebrate palaeontologist based in Victoria, Australia. My research is based on non-avian Theropoda from the ‘mid’-Cretaceous of Australia!

Coastline of the upper Strzelecki Group (~121.4-118Ma). Couldn’t ask for a better office.
