The Shortest History of the Dinosaurs is out today! What makes my Dinos 101 book different? 🦕 - It highlights the importance of nesting and parental care to dinosaur success - I dig into colonialism’s role in paleo and why it must be addressed - Unique chapters on dinosaur ecology and taphonomy

Hey, we have a new Archive video coming out in an hour (2pm EST). We're looking back at our Parasaurolophus episode, and updating it! You should come watch along with us and stuff. youtu.be/KR6_0HJi_IE

Why did some non-avian dinosaurs also evolve beaks? One theory: egg teeth. youtube.com/shorts/a9YVH...

"Yes!" "May I see it?" "...No."

Okayyy artist introduction time! Hey, my name's Tas and I'm an Australian palaeontology student and palaeoartist. I've been captivated by prehistory almost my whole life and trying to draw it for just as long! I mostly do digital, pencil and papercraft work but anything else is fun too!

In a world full of complicated problems and bad news, it's good to once in a while do something that's simply nice - such as draw dinosaurs and share them with others. Miragaia and Kentrosaurus, approximately to scale with each other and the 180 cm tall human silhouette.

We are hiring a Paleontologist to join the @ndgspaleo.bsky.social team! We are looking for someone to lead our outreach efforts, including taking a leading role on our Public Fossil Digs each summer, and assist in the Johnsrud Fossil Preparation Lab. To apply: www.dmr.nd.gov/dmr/ndgs/jobs

We have a new video out! It's about sauropods! youtu.be/WuMHfWSyoGI

It's time for #PaleostreamCon! I'll be joining @restingdinoface.bsky.social, @ydawtheshow.bsky.social @tyrantlzrdqueen.bsky.social and others for the Science Communication Roundtable Discussion at 7:30 this morning (that's in just one hour!) Tune in now @ twitch.tv/paleostream

I'm part of a roundtable about science communication as part of PaleoStreamCon 2025 with @tyrantlzrdqueen.bsky.social @mrdrprofjohnston.bsky.social @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social @restingdinoface.bsky.social and @paleontologizing.bsky.social ! Come hang at 10:30AM ET: www.twitch.tv/paleostream

Emergency paleontological salvage work begins at the forthcoming electric substationsite at St George Dinosaur Discovery Site /Washington County, UT. Need power equipment. Unique urban site. 2nd most significant dino tracksite in NA at risk of losing most basal Jurassic bonebed in North America.

Opening up commissions! I’ve never done anything like this before so please bear with me. Feel free to ask me for more information or any questions not answered in the thread below.

Here's an illustration of the ant woodlouse, Platyarthrus hoffmannseggi, published in the Journal Inland Seas™ a few years ago. This illustration was my most popular post on Twitter (I suppose people really love their isopods)! #sciart #scientificillustration #wildlife #ants #isopod

Hey! We have a new video out. We originally cut a segment from our Quetzalcoatlus episode, and decided to make it its own thing. We look at the long history of researching and debating Pterosaur fluff! Pterosaur Fuzz - A History of Splitting "Hairs" youtu.be/6eij6NikRIA

We did a little Q&A! :) www.atlasobscura.com/articles/pal...

They’re officially heeeere!!!

Sometimes we open fanmail on camera. Today is one such time. youtu.be/DsWA6y5aOB4

Some of us, for whatever reason, cannot be trees, tall and strong and bold. But we can always be grass, cushioning and nurturing and resilient.

A lot can go into flying in circles...Did I put way to much effort into this animation? Probably.

It remains to be seen if saurapodlets were born with +2 Constitution or not. youtube.com/shorts/LQkPi...

The thrilling follow up to last week's cliffhanger, 'All Growths Lead to Dome'! youtube.com/shorts/pAoQc... #dinosaurs #paleontology

Gosh darn it #DoctorWho #BBC.... Theropods could not pronate their wrists like that! @ydawtheshow.bsky.social

Why yes, I do enjoy that it looks like the Saltasaurus is being abducted by a UFO for a few seconds. youtube.com/shorts/4NZhX... #dinosaurs #paleontology

A friend was telling me about working with @ydawtheshow.bsky.social one summer many years ago. This was the result of that conversation. (Keep being awesome, guys!)

It's just so WEIRD that a toy that is otherwise using very dated ideas about sauropods (skinny neck, sprawling posture, etc.), would accidentally get skin armor right. youtube.com/shorts/wUWr3... #dinosaur #paleontology

Hi everyone! Thought id join here since everyone is lol. Here are some recent art pieces of mine! #paleoart #paleontology #paleo #art #lokiceratops #ammonites

It’s been a WHILE since I last posted anything and it’s even more ridiculous given the fact I only posted once before over here… Anyways, here’s an attempt of a Bambiraptor I painted for last year’s Dinovember. #FossilFriday #Paleoart

Not me taking down and reuploading a video to try and favor the YT algorithm more so that we might actually have it go anywhere: youtube.com/shorts/sQSmc...

I’m currently recruiting earth/life sciences undergrads, grad students, postdocs, & professional educators for 2025 instructor & TA jobs in Sternberg Museum Science Camps! Info & application form here 👉 forms.gle/5EGnpKMhHRj9... Please share! ~40+ slots this summer! #paleontology #geology #biology

Since I keep seeing this pop up, I wanted to post a friendly reminder that there are currently no official #NASA accounts on Bluesky. If/when any official NASA accounts do join this platform, they will be listed here, where you can find a list of all NASA’s official social media accounts:

Dreaming of a career in paleontology? Elevation Science is now accepting applications for our 2025 Field Internship! ⛏️ Don’t miss out on this opportunity of a lifetime—apply by January 31, 2025! elevationscience.org/internships

There's something funny to me that the paper this article is talking about is open access. Yet the article itself is paywalled.

There aren't many paleobotanist over here yet, but here's a Starter Pack of people who I follow because they're either paleobotanists🌿, do paleobotanical art🪷, or post about plants in a way relevant to #paleobotany🍁. It's currently a small list, so lemme know who needs adding. go.bsky.app/HkFEbfL

So bones aren't free. But air is! Sauropods knew what was up. (Their necks. Their necks were up). youtube.com/shorts/B-_Or... #dinosaurs #paleo #paleontology

You wanna know another reason why bsky is so peaceful at the moment? Because bsky is so new, companies haven’t made profiles here yet to promote themselves. There’s isn’t a wall of 🤪hashtag relatable™️🤪 comments by company accounts under every popular post

Matter-of-fact statement? Threat? You decide!

Looking for dinosaur gifts for the holidays? Well, we're having a sale in our shop for the rest of the month! Get in on it. We print/make almost all of our products ourselves, and all proceeds go back into making more of our videos. yourdinosaursarewrong.com or ydawtheshop.etsy.com

I’ve had a couple of big unexpected expenses this week so I’m offering B&W palaeoart/creature sketches for a lower price than my usual rate to help me get back on track for Christmas. Please send me a message if you’re interested and we can discuss your ideas! ko-fi.com/c/bd1f70738f

Tried to pull together a pack of AU/NZ palaeo crew - there's gotta be more, who have I missed? 🦘🥝🦕 go.bsky.app/JU83Md1

Hi, everyone! I'm Skye, a field paleontologist and science communicator. I work for Elevation Science, a nonprofit based on research, education, and outreach. Right now, I study Jurassic sauropods and work in the Morrison Formation. I can also yap about dinosaurs. Let's do it together sometime! 🦕🦖

Sometimes I catch the number doing something satisfying.

Two thousand followers already! Thank you so much everyone If I reach similar levels to my Twitter on here I am 100% abandoning that place entirely. Sharing one of my more popular pieces to help that along :))

Azhdarchids are named for their rather unique necks! They have tubular vertebrae that are so long that they've been mistaken for limbs bones before. #dinosaurs #paleontology #quetzalcoatlus youtube.com/shorts/GX4_G...

This is still a better representation of a living dinosaur than you would find in most museums, and a couple of people did this in a couple of days and it's entirely edible. One of my favourite things ever.

Oooo I encountered a new scam today! Anyone who vaguely content creates and has DM access on any platform will definitely be familiar with the swathe of scammy DMs that all come at the same time - and for whatever reason my hobby is to try and find out what the scam *is* (whilst not falling for it)

This was a completely personal film that was intended to be a Titmouse 5 Second Day but grew into a larger scope. I love pterosaurs dearly. And it was also wild that youtube put it on the homepage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABXC...

Welcome palaeos! Remember to find the starter packs on palaeontology to find more of us! @alinemghilardi.bsky.social's pack is a good start! go.bsky.app/QWhLarC
