I'll never not reskeet Dinosauroid

If you've seen 'The UnXplained With William Shatner' featuring me and dinosaurs, I have to tell you about the Gorn of original Star Trek. Yes, I said the Gorn. They invited me to comment on this; how could I not, it being a good chance to emphasize the prevalence of smart reptiles in sci-fi...

For an overview of what happened at the FIRST #DinoConUK of 2025, see my article here... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/8/... Follow @dinoconuk.bsky.social for news and see you soon!

#DinoConUK 2026 - the second ever DinoCon - isn't this weekend, but the weekend after. We are just about fully prepared, but still hard at work. It's going to be huge. I mean it... the attendee number is high. If you're able to get to Hilton Birmingham Metropole for July 25th-26th: www.dinocon.co.uk

The new FOURTH edition (expanded, fully updated, new pictures, new sections) of DINOSAURS: HOW THEY LIVED & EVOLVED will be present at #DinoConUK, but in low number! A quick look at its contents... tetzoo.com/blog/2026/5/... #FossilFriday #books #dinosaurs

We're all tetrapods on this bus, baby!

I love this stuff so much. What an interesting snake (and a banger of an illustration from Ford). Elapoidea is so interesting as a group. Start with the penes, confirm with the genes :) I feel your pain wrt rescue and rehabilitation. I have lost some things. :( Thank you for that awesome post.

An editorial tidying of my 2024 article on the very interesting African snake Bothrolycus was recently published at Tetrapod Zoology.... tetzoo.com/blog/2024/5/... #snakes #herpetology #reptiles

There are so many tiny baby frogs in these photos, see how many you can spot. Encourage the persistence of wild and untidy places, build ponds, stop the building of featureless paving!

BOTH volumes of #MesozoicArt - edited by myself and @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social and featuring the work of numerous incredible artists - will be on sale at #DinoConUK 2026 @dinoconuk.bsky.social. Buy, and get them signed too! tetzoo.com/blog/2025/9/... #palaeoart #books

14K words down. What... how did that happen?

Found this toy pteranodon at a local children’s museum. Not actually familiar with it. @tetzoo.bsky.social thoughts?

Heading back early* from the big shindig to celebrate the restoration of Crystal Palace Park and the @cpdinosaurs.bsky.social. I'm proud to have played a part in a huge effort to repair and restore the Dinosaurs... *Stupid trains.

It's an inevitable fact that the #DinoConUK 2026 quiz is going to be... challenging. Sorry, but them's the breaks given the sort of audience we have. To show kindness, here are some cheeky advance clues! The quiz happens Saturday 25th 9pm, we have some amazing prizes. Follow @dinoconuk.bsky.social

With #DinoCon #DinoConUK fast approaching - oh boy are we busy - a set of things relevant to our first event of 2025. Pretty scary to think that DinoCon 2026 is going to be essentially TWICE AS LARGE. Tickets and accommodation are still on sale :) Follow @dinoconuk.bsky.social for news...

Dr. @tetzoo.bsky.social, your thoughts, please? Thank you!

There’s a DinoCon? I wanna go! And maybe vend there sometime!

Wishing all DinoCon stallers, speakers, attendees - good sales and good vibes 👋 hope to attend one eventually !

If you freeze it as Dr. Naish is flipping through the book, you catch a quick glimpse of "Styracosaurus Jungle" cubelight.graphics/styracosauru...

Presentando la #DinoCon, una convención centrada en la #biología, la #evolución, la #paleontología y la historia natural que se celebrará en #Birmingham. Te lo cuenta @carlosdino.bsky.social: ▶️ koprolitos.blogspot.com/2026/07/pres... #dinosaurs #paleontology #convention @dinoconuk.bsky.social

Getting ready for DinoCon if you know you know

My friend @saiyanhajime.bsky.social made this very nice shirt of 3 raptors, to which I said ‘that’s just Babs’ and then proceeded to make a shirt with 3 Babaptors. (You should be able to get the raptor shirt from him at DinoCon and for the remaining Bab decals…we’ll see if I have table space)

It me! The vendor table layout for @dinoconuk.bsky.social has just been confirmed, and I will be found on table 20. Looking forward to meeting faces old and new on July 25th/26th. Tickets are still available here: dinocon.co.uk/tickets

#DinoCon ! That is so cool!

two new t-shirt designs coming to #DinoCon! "bad choices man" and a pile of dinosaur cookies (as well as our previous t-shirt designs, people really liked the invertebrate fossil one at Lyme Regis!) #SciArt

#Dinocon is coming up fast and now we know where you will be able to find us!

Also, if you have ideas what other groups I could cover in this format, let me know! And for the visitors of #Dinocon: the original portraits of these guys will be available at our stall, table 9!

They have a rainbow finish to them! They’ll be at DinoCon 👀

As with the year before I will be packing some local snacks for the DinoCon after party just a starting selection, I wonder if I'm going to need more jumpies than that tho

Starting to get both excited and nervous for DinoCon. Can't believe how close it is. Sorting out medical stuff just now. At the vampire department today 😂, and have ordered my meds early to be sorted with plenty of time hopefully.

I’m at table 37 at DinoCon! I’m also in the Dino hunt, which means if you find the hidden dinosaur at my table and then everyone else’s on this list, you win a mini prize!

YOU WANT BIRBS WE GOT BIRBS! dodos and great auk planters ready for #DinoCon #SciArt #crochet

so, due to unforeseen circumstances we now have TRIPLE the amount of these stickers than what we planned, so if you spend £10 at our #DinoCon table you can get whichever one you want for FREE!

CHOMP, both ‘Sunset’ and ‘Nocturnal’ versions. Prints releasing first at Dino Con 2026, then online following! #vectorthatfox #dinocon #dinosaurs #velociraptor #jurassicpark

I'm still cosplaying as Alan for dinocon to honour him and the character

lol I can bring some mozzmemes to #DinoCon we handed over a few in Lyme Regis

I will be at dinocon on the 25th/26th helping my best friend run her con table on the off chance anyone is making that trek to Birmingham for dinosaurs 🦖

One of these days I'm going to England just for DinoCon and Jurassic fossil hunting (ok maybe some other things on the side)

What are they eating? The water's edge is alive with tiny springtails, I don't think I've seen so many before. All this stuff makes me so happy.

Once again it's that time of year where a good number of exquisite little baby froggos are leaving the pond. I've done a good job of building good microhabitat round the edges, since they're hanging out there and able to find shelter and food...
