"No no no, bro, a TREE fell on me! I swear, you don't think I got that back injury from... NONO!"

JUST PUBLISHED!!!! A major azhdarchoid phylogeny paper coauthored with @skyemcdavid.com - the fruit of years of work - is now out in @journalsystpal.bsky.social! New clades, reconstruction of size evolution, and more. Full thread to come soon! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Our controversial paper is finally out in @cp-iscience.bsky.social ! As part of my PhD dissertation at @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social in 2021, the last chapter was dedicated to a specific pathological pattern in hadrosaurid tails!

Just watched an absolutely embarassing AI-generated musical ad by some German cybersecurity company. Isn't the future wonderful?

One of the largest temmnospondyls ever to exist: the gigantic Koolasuchus was also the last non-lissamphibian temnospondyl to exist. It survived into the Early Cretaceous of Australia when all other stereospondyls were long gone #temnospondyls #paleoart

Nanotyrannus is cool and all, but what if there was a brand new book written with, and illustrated by, @markwitton.bsky.social on Spinosaurus? Wouldn't that be really cool? Listen to use talk about it here before it comes out in less than a week! terriblelizards.libsyn.com/s11e10-spino...

If it wasn't for museum donors, the Dueling Dinosaurs would be rotting away in a private collection or worse, be destroyed. That fate could befall over 7 million fossil items in NY's Museum of the Earth if they cannot pay their mortgage by the end of the year. priweb.donorsupport.co/page/FUNWALK...

NANOTYRANNUS IS VALID LETS GO BRING ON THE NANOTYRANNUS TRIBUTES

NEVER. BACK. DOWN. #Nanotyrannus

Today I learnt that Koumpiodontosuchus was named as payback for Anteophthalmosuchus

We fixed up our Halloween costumes some more this year. Here they were a decade ago and then today.

Looking up Phorusrhacos stock 3D models on Google Images and this was a result

*sigh* Spotted a "We put compound words into an AI and this is what it spit out" calendar. And of course, since you can generate so much output, this calendar doesn't just have images for the 12 months, but for the 53 weeks.

New season of Jurassic World Chaos Theory looks shocking

What did the dodo look like in life? A reminder of this Tet Zoo article from 2020, which pulls together most of the relevant sources and has influenced at least some recent depictions ... tetzoo.com/blog/2020/7/... #birds #extinct #Dodo

What's your favourite dinosaur design from an indie project? Even if it's not accurate, I always liked Saurian's very first T. rex - the one with the black vulture coat - the most.

Come and hear me talk SEA MONSTERS - both of the cryptozoological sort and the ancient fossil sort - at Dorset Museum and Art Gallery, Dorchester (UK) - on Fri 21st November. I'll be signing and selling books too :) www.dorsetmuseum.org/whats-on/sea...

The Homo species are dying. Share if you are a true Homo.

For reasons, am adding links to archived Tet Zoo content again. Can't believe how much I published back in years like 2007.... so many gems there, all now hard or impossible to find due to hosters giving up and losing interest. Anyway: darrennaish.wordpress.com/tetrapod-zoo...

It's that time of the year again

I’ve been asked about de-extinction a lot this weekend, especially whether it’s scientifically possible. No, it’s not, and Colossal has already been caught lying about their projects. Extinction is forever. We have to grieve and use that feeling to protect the future of life that is here now.

new game called Guess the Rick Raptor

Sonntag kommt die nächste Folge DDD... gerade als ihr dachtet es wäre sicher wieder ins Podcastjören zu gehen.... oder so

I got bored

need this in my life

I hate this retroactive brand synergizing so much

Here's David Attenborough reading my book All Yesterdays, a photo I took back when we were working on Prehistoric Planet season 2. David owns more than one copy of that book because people kept buying them for him.

And away we go to a key meeting about #DinoConUK 2026...

#Paleontology lost Dr. Mark Norell, Curator Emeritus-AMNH. Mark's contributions to paleo can't be overstated. A leader in bird/dino evolutionary research & helped "re-open" Gobi/Mongolia to U.S. paleo. Was good to me, shared a few drinks & stories. Bonded over Barnum Brown & T. Roosevelt. RIP

By the way - our poster analyzing dinosaur documentaries from a couple years ago is now on ResearchGate!!! In case you wanna see our preliminary results suggesting what biases are leaned into

I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.
