Appalachiosaurus, Lijiangosaurus, Teraterpeton (a homage to the giant lizard from One Million Years BC cause this guy reminded me of the time monster movies just used actual lizards) and a sneaky Gerrothorax for this week's #paleostream

The last (!?) of our Kem Kem animals, the mackerel shark Haimirichia, and the hybodont Tribodus! These are both small bodied, not thought to breach the 2m mark. Size comparison and important (!) note below ⬇️ #sciart #paleoart

Newest #watercolor #paleoart is of the armored dinosaur, Peloroplites. As much as i like making colorful dinosaurs, a big gray-brown beast is its own kind of beautiful. 🎨🦖

Dunkleosteus ~ Dunkle’s bone 🐠🦴 . Here is my finished design for my monster of the deep 💙 . I went through many colour variations to find the right ‘look’ and I ended up going for this murky swamp-like palette . What do you think? #paleoart #sciart

Doodles from the last flocking #paleostream of the year! Featuring Appalachiosaurus, Lijiangosaurus, Teraterpeton, and Gerrothorax.

Brain work bad thanks to some sort of flu, so you'll have to write your own amusing #FossilFriday post about this giant #azhdarchid #pterosaur #paleoart.

Mainstream palaeoart often seems lily-white in terms of the diversity of its contributors. But pieces of palaeoart that rank among the -MOST SEEN- works in the entire field were examples of black craftsmanship. This week came news on the passing of Garfield G. Minott (1966-2025)... cont

New at #Patreon: an illustrated review of what we know, and some of what we don't, about the colours and patterns of ancient marine invertebrates (ft. trilobites, orthoceratoids, ammonites and Cambrian critters). Check it out at www.patreon.com/c/markwitton #paleoart #fossils #paleontology #sciart

New #paleoart for #FossilFriday: the giant Meganeuropsis hawks Dunbaria in Early Permian Kansas, reaching to trap it with long, spiny legs. This image is set at the coast to reflect the marine occurrences of Meganeuropsis and Dunbaria fossils - not all Carbo-Permian insects lived in swamps! #sciart

#FossilFriday There's a big 5-star customer review of this new dinosaur book by great paleontologists @davehone.bsky.social and @markwitton.bsky.social! Can't wait to read Spinosaur Tales, but the day will come in two weeks. ^^ www.nhbs.com/spinosaur-ta...

🐟 Fossil Fish Alert‼️Carol Smith found a jaw of a rare bony fish in the ~82 million-year-old (Cretaceous) marls of Harrell Station Paleontological Site in Alabama last month during a trip I organized for the Alabama Paleontological Society! 😄 Specimen: UA Museums paleontology collection #FossilFriday

New #paleoart on #FossilFriday: #Tiktaalik sees the world. Discussions of early #tetrapods often focus on limbs and lungs, but major changes also took place in their eyes. Seeing further and clearer than any animal before, they were the first to clearly see sunsets, stars, and the moon. #sciart

The Mesozoic mammal Sinodelphys, discovered in China and photographed at the Carnegie Museum, for #FossilFriday. Originally described as a marsupial but now thought to be an early placenta mammal, in my considered opinion this is clearly a creachure. 🧪⚒️

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIE STAGOSAURUS! Here's my Sophie artwork, commissioned by @nhm-london.bsky.social & @profpaulbarrett.bsky.social back in 2014. #SciArt #SciComm #Stegosaurus #Dinosaurs #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #JurassicWorld

Happy #FossilFriday! Join us this morning at 9 a.m. MST, 11 a.m. EST to learn about dinosaurs of the ❄️ north ❄️! Pachyrhinosaurus, Troodon, Daspletosaurus, and so many more. 📲 FREE. Zoom link: museumoftherockies.org/calendar/vir... 🎨: Art by Julio Lacerda

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIE STAGOSAURUS! Here's my second Sophie artwork, called "The Great Jurassic", commissioned by @nhm-london.bsky.social & @profpaulbarrett.bsky.social back in 2014. #SciArt #SciComm #Stegosaurus #Dinosaurs #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #JurassicWorld

A fossilized armored millipede segment of an Arthropleura sp. from the Orzeskie Beds, Upper Silesia Coal Basin, Poland. These giant Carboniferous aged myriapods grew over two meters. The fern genus Zeilleria can also be seen on the slab. #FossilFriday #myriapod #fossil #paleontology #arthropleura

#fossilfriday Calcified cartilage is not always rare. 20 years ago I found this strange "bone", later identified as a mandibular cartilage of a skate (Raja binoculata). I have since collected dozens of these, which seem to be the most common vertebrate fossil in the 3-5 myo Purisima Formation of CA.

Fresh off the digital canvas, my take on the Carboniferous verte... arthro... mollu... er... bilaterally symmetrical animal Tullimonstrum gregarium. Tully monsters are true palaeontological enigmas: 70 years after they were named, we still don't know what they are. #paleoart #sciart #fossil

Happy #FossilFriday from this dinky Saurornitholestes tooth that I found in the Judith River Formation. Now if only I could find a whole raptor attached to one of these someday.

Kylie didn't get a halloween pic but he gets an Xmas one?? Ok, but he will do it His way 🫀

I forgot about this #paleoart of Deinocheirus I produced back in 2019 until this morning. Having not looked at it for years, I think it holds up pretty well. And no, it's not got the "feather mountain" look because D. was a big animal in a temperate climate. #dinosaurs #fossil #paleontology #sciart

New #paleoart posted to #Patreon: woolly mammoths around a duck-filled lake. Accompanying the hi-res and WIPs of this image is a discussion about mammoth colour: the uniform red-brown mammoths of classic palaeoart seem unlikely now. Check it out at www.patreon.com/posts/night-... #fossil #sciart

It's marine reptile Wednesday! Here's an acrylic painting from 2021, depicting a #Cretoxyrhina (top left), Squalicorax (#sharks, bottom right), & two #Tylosaurus (juvenile left, adult right). This was a private commission. #SciArt #PaleoArt #MarineReptiles #Mosasaurus #WildlifeArt #JurassicWorld

A flower beetle in baltic amber. We hope to raise money for a museum microscope so kids can examine insect specimens like this one!

i felt like drawing a placoderm last month, so i drew Gorgonichthys. it's been sitting in my wips pile for ages now, not tooo happy with this but that's the nature of art i guess :] #placoderm #fishart #sciart

Xericeps is another fragmentary Kem Kem pterosaur, known from a distinctively curved lower beak, complete with interesting protrusions on the inside, much like Alanqa - this speculative reconstruction is based loosely on the modern openbill stork! Size comparison below ⬇️ #sciart #paleoart

Here’s a sneak peek! This is one of my favorites! I looked at a lot of photos of lions eating elephants for this drawing and let me tell you: it was gross.

for @saberdani.bsky.social <33333 big heart thanks for letting me draw your dinosaur C: ilu

Great exhibition, closing soon ! A lot of effort was put into this project ! Here are some pictures from my visit some time ago :
