So how does Xenovenator compare with Yaverlandia @tetzoo.bsky.social ? No mention of it? @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social @paleontologizing.bsky.social

Here's an interesting thought: The new Xenovenator seems nested within Late K, North American troodontids and is along way in time and space from Yaverlandia. So maybe troodontids evolved dome heads TWICE.

Yaverlandia connection?

T. rex is more closely related to this little dinosaur (a hummingbird) than T. rex is to Allosaurus. Also, a hummingbird's humerus is way smaller than it's eyeball. Go home, evolution, you're drunk! 🦖

Meant to post this some days ago but I got distracted. My latest for @invertebratepal.bsky.social's work on Hallucigenia's ecology, interpreting the little fellas as scavengers of soft-bodied carcasses. Read the preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #Art #SciArt #FossilFriday

Current Caudipteryx #paleoart WIP, coinciding with how everyone in Britain felt when they left the house this morning. #sciart #fossil #art #paleontology #ohmygodthere'saninchofsnowwe'reallgoingtodie

First new #paleoart piece finished for 2026: a super modern, 100% accurate take on Mosasaurus and a plesiosaur. In unrelated news, I had the spirit of the early 19th-century palaeoartist John Martin exorcised from my house over the weekend. #paleontology #fossil #sciart #retropaleoart #art

All plesiosaurs today for #FossilFriday, in tribute to our departed friend Richard Forrest.

New material of Ajkaceratops cements its identity as a ceratopsian, but adds a new wrinkle. It turns out that many european ornithischians previously classified as iguanodontians may actually be ceratopsians! New paper by @tweetisaurus.bsky.social et al., that I provided art for (link in reply).

Benthic ctenophores clinging to tunicates attached to a submarine canyon wall ~1.75 miles deep, during #ArgentinianDeepSeeps. Platyctenida have colloblasts, or sticky cells that release a mucus-like glue when they unspool extra-long tentacles into the water column and fish for their next meal.

First #FossilFriday of 2026: here's #paleoart of Dromaeosaurus atop a half-eaten juvenile Chasmosaurus. Dromaeosaurus was no Velociraptor clone, but a relatively robust and probably hard-biting raptorial dinosaur. Painted... two years ago now, I guess, in 2024. #fossil #paleontology #dinosaur
