Hey you. A while ago I was given this awesome, old gorgonopsian model. It has no logo, brand, name, etc. on it. I'm intensely curious about it! Does anyone know anything about this model? I'd love to know the artist who created this and to know the year it was produced! Help??

*knocks a cup off the counter and stares at the barista*

I don't get to spend a lot of time in my office, which is sad, because now there are three original @wargonopsid.bsky.social paintings hanging on the wall. So, I just want to sit there and look at them! 😭😭😭😭😭

I AM THE NUMBER ONE CLAM FAN!!

Ok I’ll sign this later but I decided done was better than perfect. A pair of Lycaenops have an argument over a stick. Did you know we have found gorgons with other gorgons teeth embedded in their face, with healing after? It’s true! Anyway, it felt very dog park and I had to make it happen. #sciart

Jacket flipping (this is just 1 clam) is a team sport. @pinuppaleontology.bsky.social @paleo-hank.bsky.social @casidor.bsky.social Son of Chowder is free from the chalk!

This is a teaser for what is about to happen in a few weeks. A possible bucket moment may happen for me!

I know that specimen.... 🤣 I can't wait to see it in person again!

When insect fossils are this intact, just looking at them makes you go WHOA. Plus, preserved body structures reveal how their group evolved! In my latest for @cnn.com, I wrote about how a truly stunning cicada fossil from Germany's Messel Pit places singing cicadas in Europe earlier than expected 🧪

I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but the orcas now have two F/A-18 Hornets

I'll be galavanting about in the chalk in a few weeks! I can't wait! Oh yeah. Anthony will be there too.

I am advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Burgum highlighting the work that Colossal did should make every person at Colossal rethink their relationship with the company. This fake dire wolf announcement was incredible misinformation and the company needs to massively recalibrate their media output to be 200% more honest.

We are hiring a Paleontologist to join the @ndgspaleo.bsky.social team! We are looking for someone to lead our outreach efforts, including taking a leading role on our Public Fossil Digs each summer, and assist in the Johnsrud Fossil Preparation Lab. To apply: www.dmr.nd.gov/dmr/ndgs/jobs

Dire Wolf (Aenocyon dirus) thread. No, those wolves in the news yesterday are NOT dire wolves. To be clear those are Gray Wolves with just a few genes modified based on Dire Wolf DNA through CRISPR #paleoart #direwolf #aenocyon

This Glyptotherium has a couple more head holes than usual. See the two ovals on top? Those are canine tooth punctures from a big cat’s bite. It could have been a large jaguar, or a sabercat like Smilodon, but either way it was a bad day for this giant armadillo. 🧪

Checking my signal app constantly in hopes I get added to a secret war planning chat 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻😂😂💀

I never shared with you that I've got an @wargonopsid.bsky.social original painting. I've never told you I cried after I got it and get a bit teary eyed every time I see it. And now thanks to @snakesandkittens.bsky.social I have a sweet T-shirt with art by Wargonopsid too!!!! 💜💜💜 I'm a huge fan 💜

Kinda feels like this right now

Cat tax because the world is terrible. Here is Bear doing a Majestic.

🚨 EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE Columbia/Barnard faculty, Jewish community leaders, immigrant advocates, and rabbis are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE custody. We will not be silent or cower in the face of American Fascism. #FreeMahmoud

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

How small was the fossil I was working on today? Much smaller than the tip of a 0.25mm micron pen. Here are three views of the specimen with varying degrees of clarity success. It's literally the two tiny white dots I've circled with the pen.

I left home for a week-long vacation and upon return, Goose had some thoughts. TLDR: Leaving him is unacceptable

After Gorgons, drepanosaur are my fav dead dudes. I don't have any gorgon tattoos yet, but I did recently get the holotype ungual of Ancistronychus tattooed on my shoulder. I prepared the specimen! I'll share pics when the half sleeve is done, later this month.

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

Trump posted: ‘All federal funding will STOP for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS!’

Trump signed executive orders to expand logging on public lands while bypassing environmental protections. His “energy emergency” declaration lets him override regulations entirely.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

This. This 1000x. This all day. This every day.

How embarrassing. Arrogance. Bullying. Shameful. This is not the America I grew up in.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

In “Way of the Kings” there’s a cursed king who doesn’t know whether he will wake up a genius or an idiot each morning. That’s how I am now with anger. Today I am very angry.

REMEMBER KIDS when flooding a snitch form, DON’T use obvious troll responses that can be filtered out with a query Use PLAUSIBLE FAKE data that will take TIME and EFFORT to run down. This poisons the entire data pool and makes it useless

Ok gonna call this photo good enough! MY SO loves big pettable herbivores and wanted a nice calm day with Scutosaurus and a buddy. There's actually a second Elph further up the scutosaur's back,my inspiration was how squirrels will dart around together in spring.🧵 #paleoart #sciart #acrylic #permian

#Gorgonops would make such a fun pet. #paleoart

Anti-porn, anti-sex work, “sex negative” feminists are fash, not your friends. Pornophobe feminists have a long history of using the cops and the state against other women to maintain the ever-imagined moral panics and grievances of the white middle class.

The Paleontological Society @paleosoc.bsky.social has issued a statement to the paleontology community referencing recent federal policy changes & reaffirming the importance of diversity for paleontological studies and for the health of the scientific community in general. 🧪

Sketched a inostrancevia, just having fun :) fought the paper the whole time though, I’ma end up making another book before I finish this one :P tldr canson mixed media more like canson medium tooth drawing paper #paleoart #gorgon #inostrancevia #sketchbook
