Here’s a sketch of the newly described basal plioplatecarpine mosasaur, Oneirosaurus caballeroi, from the Coniacian beds of Lebrija, in Central Colombia. This sketch was made in honor and in memory of one of the authors of the paper, María Euridice Páramo Fonseca. #paleoart #sciart #art

Tyrannosaurus "Wilson" figure from PNSO. Here it with a brand new base that includes a skull of a crocodylian (Borealosuchus) and other details. Also, for this figure it was made a repainting in the teeth, mouth and the dark stripes. I want to thank to Jorge Moreno Bernal for his work in this piece.

Maybe one day you'll be mine (DeCLAY Studio sculptures)...

Fossils did not appear in the XIXth century witht he first paleontologists 🦕 So, how did ancient civillisations dealt with these extinct animal bones ? This is what I will explore in this thread ⚒️🏺 ⬇️ #Paleosky

A reconstruction of Pitheculites chenche, a small marsupial from the Miocene of La Venta (Colombia). So far, only it has been found a piece of the lower jaw. Pitheculites belongs to the abderitids, close relatives of the shrew-possums (caenolestids). It has a large blade-like first molar.

Seriously, they're the worst!

That old idea where glyptodonts are the cousins to ALL #armadillos? Nope. It was mostly overlooked until recently, but armadillo experts have been pushing the idea that glyptodonts are nested _within_ armadillos since at least 2006. This, and more... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/6/... #xenarthrans #mammals

Conspiracy believers tend to overrate their cognitive abilities and think most others agree with them www.psypost.org/conspiracy-b...

I was trying to look up T. rex forelimb tendon avulsions, but instead I found a neat illustration of a baby Pachyrhinosaurus playing with its parents in Mesozoic Vertebrate Life. Illustration is by Katherine I. Hargrove.

Arsinoitherium was originally supposed to appear in King Kong (1933). I like to think that it still exists in the ‘33 version of Skull Island, even though it doesn’t appear outside of deleted scenes.

At this point the most interesting question regarding tyrannosaurid evolution that's yet to be answered is what the period in time between allosauroids and tyrannosaurids filling the apex predator niche was like. When did large-bodied, robust-skulled tyrannosauroids evolve?

Published today in Biological Reviews: "New perspectives on body size and shape evolution in dinosaurs" - the biggest paper from my PhD (my favourite chapter, too). doi.org/10.1111/brv.... Here's a thread outlining some of our key findings. (1/10)

Might there be long-necked sea serpents, 'beasts of burden' Neanderthals, unicorns, and therianthropes in Palaeolithic rock art? The answer to questions like this is generally no, but check out this article anyway... tetzoo.com/blog/2019/7/...

An addition to the skull of the ancient manatee Potamosiren (Miocene from Colombia): the lower jaw in a upper view, to give a better idea of the volumen of the head.

My first post here is a #FossilFriday dedicated to the taphonomy of Halszkaraptor, the goose-like raptor. In the CT-scan, note the sinuous shape of the vertebral column. The tail is partial (blue arrows). My concern is what happened to the missing coracoids (yellow arrow) and pubes (red arrow).

Kekenodon

A full color and hypothetical reconstruction of the head of recently found Dimartinia, based more or less in small sparassodonts as Cladisictis and Lycopsis for proportions. Interestingly, the mandible looks tiny compared to the teeth.

A reconstruction of Dimartinia pristina, a small sparassodont from the Cerro Azul Formation, Argentina (approx. 9 million years ago). It shares features with the strange thylacosmilids, the sabertooth lineage of sparassodonts as Thylacosmilus, but it doesn't have the specialized mandible.

An unexpected "After Man" reference from the 1992's "Rand McNally Picture Atlas of Prehistoric Life." The art is by Tim Hayward, a regular contributor to palaeontology themed children's books of the 1980s and 1990s. I love the look of that rabbuck!

Pampaphoneus biccai - Anteosaur from Brazil's Rio do Rasto Formation. #permian #brazil #paleoart

Since that a recent paper indicates that remains of megafauna of Brazil suggests that some members of it, as the camelid Paleolama survived until the Holocene, is interesting to consider the idea that some rock paintings from there are also inspired by these late survivors.
