This summer in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, we're getting together to appreciate some nocturnal nature. Join us for a night of light sheet fun! July 11 luma.com/iuviol27 July 18 luma.com/jbgiux7n July 25 luma.com/5tvzskid There are still spots left but they always sell out, so get a spot now!

We've seen a lot of Spinosaurus stories over the years. The Walking With Dinosaurs '25 version may be my favorite yet, ably balancing science with scary. My thoughts on "The River Dragon" in today's newsletter. I Want My DinoTv is exclusive to my premium tier subscribers, sign up at the link!

Happy International Plant Appreciation Day! The Jurassic Parl movies have some incredible flora in them, from robust Morten Bay Fig trees, tropical palm beaches, to majestic redwood forests, and toxic West Indian Lilac bushes. Let us know what Jurassic plants you appreciate in the comments!

@restingdinoface.bsky.social missing you at DinoFest!

Dinosaurs didn’t just live in jungle climates y’all.

Often imitated, never duplicated, check out my award-winning, bestselling book The Last Days of the Dinosaurs if you haven't already. Paperback, ebook, audiobook, take your pick.

Would you care to see a contended cat?

HEY I JUST WANTED TO SAY YOU’RE DOING GREAT

New LACE weight SILK-blend skeins! I named this base Velma, Velma Kelly. IYKYK They have a beautiful sheen. I plan to use them in combination with other yarn bases/weights. They’ll add an awesome texture and marbled look to your project. All these colorways are listed now.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMJ2Vq2m/ I know it’s been a while, but I’m slowly trying to get back into social media. Here’s a painting I did for Jurassic June! It was so much fun,& I think the kids on our Studio Tours are gonna love it! #scenicartist #Jurassicworldrebirth #JurassicWorld #painting #dinosaur

talking with @explodinghye.bsky.social about extinct animal feet (like you do) and I want to highlight some of my favorite Extinct Feet Freaks. Number one: Titanosaurs like Argentinoaurus, who have lost the fingerbones on their front legs in exchange for stability.

Please know if i say or emoji that i am laughing, seriously i really am. Some of you are fucking hilarious and i actually snort laugh which is crazy attractive and makes HunnyShark want me big time. Thanks for the daily laughs We gotta keep our sense of humor

Always.

Episode seven of Alien: Earth twisted and turned in all the best way. We’re in the endgame now folks! Recap coming on See Jurassic Right this weekend so stay tuned.

These calendars are how we're funding the 2026 Philly Native Plant project! Each calendar spread has information about an animal *and* links to a list of things each of us can do to help that animal thrive in its natural habitat. Learn about helping while empowering our actions? Pretty good deal.

Have you ever wondered why we’re here and dinosaurs like T. rex vanished? I wrote a book just for you. 🦖 ☄️🌿🐆

New dinosaur day! Meet Zavacephale, the oldest and most-complete pachycephalosaur yet described. And it’s tiny, a beeper that only weighed about 10kg. I’ll tell you all about it at NatGeo.

Tyrant Lizard Queen will be stomping your way next year, so it’s a good time to get into When the Earth Was Green if you haven’t already. 🌱

Stay Punk 👩🏻‍🎤 Lucinda DK weight skeins. I dyed these so I could knit myself a sweater. 🩷

👏👏👏👏👏 Say it louder for those in the back!!! Thank you, Mayor Mendenhall!! www.instagram.com/reel/DJXBw2h...

I found a @stevenraymorris.bsky.social pikachu keychain today 😆 It has a mustache 😆🫶💛💛💛

Sometimes a shirt comes along and I say, “ That’s me!!!! That’s my shirt!!!” #Trex #catmom 😆 teefury.com/products/tee...

FYI - The Starry Night colorway is BACK OPEN for pre-orders! Pre-orders make sure you’ll get the skeins you want AND you can pick the yarn base/weight you want! Skeins will be dyed and shipped NEXT WEEK. #handdyedyarn #crochet #knitting

Jurassic Park workers are forced to abandon their stations as an electric failure allows a Carnotaurus to burst through the fence - threatening to put the entire island in danger. #JurassicWorldRebirth #JurassicPark #ToyPhotography

One more for St. Valentine's Day: a Romaeosaur. Goodnight.

Happy Big Red Heart Day from these Heart Kids our grandma made for us when we were kids 🥰❤️🩷😅 #valentinesday #hearts #BigRedHeartDay

A few pics of the first portal almost finished. Tomorrow they’ll be done and I’ll hide a Dino in each of them 😅💕🦖🦕💕 Then the cutting and gluing can happen… but only after the dinosaurs are painted 🙃🥰

Still a better Spinosaurus than those in a certain forthcoming movie.

Around 75 million years ago, when North America was split in two by an inland sea, intense storms flooded coastal lowlands where dinosaurs roamed. Horned dinosaurs like Centrosaurus were especially susceptible, hundreds of their carcasses dotting the floodplains. A flesh buffet for tyrannosaurs. 🧪

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

The Trump administration has begun drafting an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education. This action would negatively impact school libraries and literacy rates. www.saveschoollibrarians.org/deptofed2025 via @everylibrary.bsky.social

We are going live! We’ll be talking about Jurassic World Rebirth’s trailer tonight! Don’t miss it!! Come join the live chat and send in your comments! www.youtube.com/live/GJFNw5O...

When the Earth Was Green contains more than pretty new words from me. The book boasts a menagerie of new pieces by the amazing @korybing.bsky.social! This is one of my favorites, a snoozing Silesaurus from the chapter on petrified wood. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Here are NEARLY finished illustrations of two #dinosaurs found at the Late Triassic Ischigualasto Formation in South America. Panphagia, a sauropodomorph (top) and Eodromaeus, a theropod (bottom) These illustrations will appear in the book I am preparing about Tetrapods of the Triassic #paleoart

As seen on JEOPARDY!

Found a job listing for Mattel. It’s for an entry level Scenic Artist for displays and such. Perfect, except the pay is less than what I make now and we’d have to move. Dang it. What a cool job that would be?!

holy frijoles y'all. Have I told you lately that you are awesome? Because I think we are needing that right about now.

“Paleontology is often framed as stories of colonization and conquest — life colonized land, dinosaurs dominated the Mesozoic Era. Black rejects this framework, instead twining tales of communities into an ‘evolutionary romance.’”

Listening to @jurassicparkpod.bsky.social talk about todays Jurassic World Rebirth news! It’s always awesome hearing everyone’s thoughts and I’m so hyped for the trailer tomorrow! The next Jurassic era begins now! 🦕🦖

The new Jurassic World will feature giant dinosaurs living in lush, dense tropical environments. Real dinosaurs never lived in such rainforests.
