Another brilliant example that nature has never been limited by the strict human definitions of "male and female". Fish especially show a mind-blowing variety of reproductive strategies!

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

I'm making a fish-core playlist! What songs should I add? -looking for fish related lyrics or just vibes -no soundtracks please, unless you feel strongly about one particular song (I know subnautica exists, love it, not what I'm looking for here)

Who up deciphering they taphonomic processes

I've seen fossils in some remarkable places, but this takes the prize: the benthic foram Nummulites in the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza. These massive blocks were quarried from the Eocene Mokkatam Formation when a relictual population of woolly mammoths still lived on Wrangel Island.

Absolutely thrilled to have seen the new Chicago Archaeopteryx exhibit. This specimen never ceases to amaze me. Featuring my fanart of said dead bird. #chicagoarchaeopteryx #fieldmuseum

SUE looking delightfully green #fieldmuseum #trex

This is one of the most absurd things I've ever seen in a crystal shop. Top tier impulse purchase.

Tomorrow :D

Reptiles doing the reptile things (Burpee museum)

Got to pet a sturgeon at the Burpee museum, my life has peaked

Hi Jane

Mahjong in Chicago with friends and my Therizinosaurus son named Chad Kroger

Flags with extinct animals on them: - California (California grizzly bear) - Chernyshevsky District, Russia (Kulindadromeus) - Doronogovi, Mongolia (sauropod) - Srednekolymsk, Russia woolly (mammoth)

Listening to Limp Bizkit while drawing fish skeletals. Not sure if this is making me feel more or less sane tbh

Gaze upon this magnificent artifact I found at the local thrift store the other day

I also checked out the new Impact exhibit at the AMNH yesterday. I didn't have too much time for an in depth look, but first impressions were good! Mixed reviews on the models and illustrations. Looking forward to more thoroughly reading through everything next time I'm there.

Practicing skeletal sketches with Stegosaurus at the AMNH yesterday!

We are NOMINATED‼️ This gonna be the LAST CHANCE for anime adaptation, and I believe we have the power to make it happen! Please VOTE for Dinosaur Sanctuary from the link below▼ anime-japan.jp/activities/a... I'll show you how to vote in the replay below.

Cimolichthys nepaholica was a Late Cretaceous Big Ol' Fish™. A lot of our well-known Mesozoic ray-finned fish represent early-diverging groups that have no modern close relatives, but not this guy! Cimolichthys belongs to the order Aulopiformes, which is still around today in the form of...

I painted a Jurassic classic, #Stegosaurus. 💚

Result from the Mammoth Site #paleostream! This has been our first mammoth steppe formation stream, dwelling into some the classic giants of the Pleistocene. This site in South Dakota offered a unique opportunity is that is has so much stuff preserved in situ that we can...

I can't get over how cool this cover is!!!

Arapaima necklace I made! A couple of you might have seen me wearing it at SVP a few weeks ago. #fish #arapaima

Regretting multiple life decisions right now but we persevere.

In related news, working on this guy! If any of you lovely fish people know anything about Arapaima hyoids please do let me know if I got this remotely correct.

Surely Arapaima skulls will at least somewhat resemble a standard fish skull... oops all infraorbitals. Never get complacent.

Go my Bothriolepis... This year's fish pecan pie! Bothriolepis was a peculiar-looking placoderm from the Devonian period or the Paleozoic. It had two long pointed pectoral fins and silly little eyes on top of its head. #fossil #fish #paleontology #bothriolepis

Last year I made a Xiphactinus pecan pie for Thanksgiving. What prehistoric fish should I do this year?

Two Denversaurus meet at sunset. Referenced from a photo I took in Montana this summer. Denversaurus belongs to the ankylosaurian family nodosauridae. Unlike ankylosauridae, nodosaurids lack a tail club and many have shoulder spikes.

At last I have a real coaster instead of... a rock

My second SVP meeting! It was an honor meeting all you lovely folks in the UK, seeing old friends, and presenting my fish research (more on that hopefully soon!)

Can I drag your attention to the artworks by contemporary Czech palaeoartist, Vladimir Rimbala. His works are a perfect mix of modern science and retro composition (🧵)

DINOVEMBER 2025 Day 1-4 #dinovember Velociraptor 🦖 Spicomellus 🦖 Corythosaurus 🦖 Ceratosaurus

Horse anatomy illustration. I've discovered I quite enjoy doing skeletals, I'll definitely be doing more soon. The muscles were quite a bit more tedious, but I like how it turned out overall. #horse #anatomy #skeletal #muscles

Xiphodracon breaches towards a golden sky.

Homotherium labeled skull diagram. I made this for an online vertebrate anatomy illustration class I'm taking right now, where we were assigned to draw a labeled felid skull. #homotherium #cat #skull #paleontology #paleoart
