Was just reading the Wikipedia page on Anterograde Amnesia and it‘s funny how all the listed fictional examples are hardcore psychological thrillers and Dory from Finding Nemo.

I don’t think I love anything as much as the surreal, alien palaeoart of the 70s into the early 90s. These compositions are all naturalistic, but they’re strange and hypernatural in a way that transcends realism. It’s a bizarre but profoundly moving approach to reconstructing the past.

In other news, I built and set-up my own aquarium!

Pseudoarchaeology is a grift and a scam, stuffed full of conspiracy bs. Check out this new video at Professor Dave Explains ... Jimmy Corsetti is Human Garbage www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z49A...

@bestcryptids.bsky.social This one is real, right?

So there is this new paper which shows that unenlagiids were actually secondarily flightless #avialans. Which is cool and all, though what confuses me is that Greg Paul isn’t cited anywhere in it, despite him being the first and strongest supporter of this idea: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Martin Wilfarth was a German researcher who in the 1940s claimed that Mesozoic Earth was experiencing super tides and that all dinosaurs were actually semi-marine animals. In a 3-part series I try to explore the how and why of his reasoning: www.manospondylus.com/2025/08/wilf...

All the #fossils I collected in Donkey Kong Bananza

A teaser for a blogpost I am working on. Between the 1930s and 50s, German paleontologist Martin Wilfarth proposed that the headcrests on #hadrosaurs were actually attachment-points for snorkel-trunks. This was part of his wider ides that all #dinosaurs were tidal animals.

A compilation of videos I did with @cmkosemen.bsky.social discussing the #SilurianHypothesis: youtu.be/6ciSxFuDXCc?...

While you don‘t often see it in paleoart, there is decent biomechanical evidence that #glyptodonts were actually quite good at bipedalism. Here‘s a cute illustration from: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

@davehone.bsky.social stars in a new YouTube video, so guess who turns up in the comments section? Yup, chronically-online, 365-day blogger David Peters. That's my personal bat-signal, so...

Pointilisaurus, a bipedal bolosaurid parareptile that evolved on the island of Ryl Madol: rylmadolisland.blogspot.com/2025/05/poin... #speculativeevolution #parareptile #lostworld

Gastornis, looking out into a changing Eocene world that is becoming increasingly less tropical. These birds were mainly forest dwellers, eating hard fruits and nuts, and likely went extinct due to habitat loss from climate change. I drew this for a story I‘m writing on my Patreon. #paleoart #birds

Carrion trilobites, #speculativeevolution detrivores inhabiting the lost world of Ryl Madol: rylmadolisland.blogspot.com/2025/04/carr...

Plesiadapis, a Paleocene proto-primate I drew for a story. The interesting thing about this animal was that it looked more like a squirrel than a monkey and even had enlarged incisors and a diastema like a rodent. #paleoart

My contribution to this current craze around the supposedly resurrected #direwolves, which I wrote because I was concerned not just about the misinformation being spread but also the ethics involved: www.manospondylus.com/2025/04/a-co...

I have been featured in the latest episode of the Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs #podcast!

Podcast Episode 39 is here! Once more please for the Grand Signeur, John Sibbick! We will discuss WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH!!! And interview T. K. Sivgin!!!!!!! It's very exciting.

Finally everything is ready to reveal my project for this year: Ive decided to open a blog to continue talking about crocodilians and their extinct relatives. All my illustrations and knowledge on the subject will be uploaded there. Link in the first comment⬇️

Check out these feather buds on the chicken embryo's wing! Our latest study @plosbiology.org reveals that temporary inhibition of sonic hedgehog signalling transforms feathers into simple, protofeather-like structures—similar to those of their dinosaur ancestors🔬🦖🧪 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

This is a big one, lots to think about!

The inevitable happened: youtu.be/ORXu_w7mBlE?...

By popular demand, here is now the sequel! youtu.be/9BnYMl_yESc?...

Finally reunited

O-KAY! OH BA-NA-NA! www.materiacollective.com/music/rare-t...

Combining two of my favorite interests: Classic Paleoart but with Donkey Kong Country music! youtu.be/53JuJj8D4VU?...

It’s not often that I claim to speak on behalf of the dinosaurs that I illustrate. But just this once, on behalf of dinosaurs everywhere , F*ck you William Sitwell, and f*ck you The Telegraph.

Surprisingly modern-looking #Archaeopteryx from William Plane Pycraft‘s A History of Birds from 1910. #paleoart #birds #dinosaurs

The CMTK Talk Hour, my #podcast with @cmkosemen.bsky.social finally continues: youtu.be/OdQgjVmLnB0?...

In addition to the many, many other reasons a natural history museum in trouble is an emergency, MOTE is the current home of “Mr. Moneybags,” a papier-mâché Stegosaurus created for the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair and displayed at the Smithsonian for over a century.

This is terrible news. 🧪 "The Museum of the Earth, one of the last natural history museums in Upstate New York, faces an imminent threat of foreclosure after a group of donors failed to fulfill a $30 million pledge..." @judylucas.bsky.social ithacavoice.org/2025/01/muse...
