For #FossilFriday, here's the grumpy-faced Triassic/Jurassic ichthyosaur Leptonectes tenuirostris. I guess they've had a week of changing their tax system and non-stop IT issues too? They also had very large flippers, possibly for smashing computer keyboards. #fossil #paleoart #paleontology #art

Visiting these guys again? What am I, some sort of consultant on their restoration? Oh, right.

#LifeOnOurPlanet #TheDinosaurs Some cute rexlings to brighten your day!

Ceratosaurus portrait. A4 colour pencils and fineliners on green paper. Original available

Opening today at the Hollytrees Museum, Colchester, is an exhibition centred around "Juliasaurus": an Allosaurus-like theropod #dinosaur from the Morrison Formation. I was hired to produce a #paleoart reconstruction to accompany the skeleton. Tickets available now! @colmuseums.bsky.social

New at #Patreon: #paleoart of Cretaceous fireflies and #Spinosaurus mirabilis. Fireflies have existed for 100 million years and, thanks to some cool science, we know what colours they illuminated themselves with. Details (+ more new art) at www.patreon.com/markwitton. #dinosaur #fossil #art

OVIRAPTOROSAURIA, from the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I98... I dedicated to these redeemed theropods 🥚 #gigantoraptor #paleoart #dinosaurs #oviraptors #beibeilong #naturalhistory #anzu

Speculative primitive spinosaurid inspired by megalosaurids and Monolophosaurus Colors based in Potamites montanicola suggested by my friend @cascoclauda.bsky.social as usual c: #paleoart for @edgescience.bsky.social !!

Everyone has issues with the peer review system, but I think it's getting worse. Could all be incorrect as it's based on my recent experiences, but chats with various colleagues suggest this is a growing problem: archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2026/03/30/r...

Still alive as work on Book 7 enters the last few days, though I am quite sleep-deprived. And which joker organised daylight savings so close to my deadline? Thanks, jerk. Here's some #paleoart of the Jurassic pterosaur Balaenognathus soaring over dinoflagellates, the source of their pink bodies.

Another "I'm not dead post" while slugging away on Book 7. Here're revisions made to my recent Caudipteryx #paleoart piece after revisiting the distribution of melanised feathers in referred specimens. I also closed the split tail, following feedback from @albertonykus.bsky.social - thanks, Albert!

#LifeOnOurPlanet #TheDinosaurs is a piece of flowing paleoart. There are so many sublime compositions in this docu!

Think you know the Jurassic period? Think again. 🌊 Announcing our new exhibition, Jurassic Oceans: Monsters of the Deep, opening 22 May 2026. Find out more info and book your early bird tickets here: brnw.ch/21x0MBt

Despite still talking about interspecies competition and often demonstrating it through creature fights, #TheDinosaurs is never really 'seriously' bent upon something like the 'dynasties rhetoric' like #LifeOnOurPlanet , and it does not attach a lot of symbolism to its sequences.

TITANOSAURIA, from the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=08qF... I made on Sauropods 🦕 many other families of this lineage included there 🦕 the human reference is there, this time it's just harder to find #titanosauria #argentinosaurus #austroposeidon #malawisaurus #paleoart #dinosaurs #sauropoda

Not sure if anyone else caught the Mamenchisaurus scene (to me) seems to be obviously inspired by/homaging Greg Paul's iconic #paleoart of mamenchisaurs browsing amongst tall trees, backlit by strong beams of sunlight #TheDinosaurs #sciart

The Plateosaurus sequence from #LifeOnOurPlanet is already pretty solid, and #TheDinosaurs took it even further. With the addition of the vividly-coloured Procompsognathus and a picturesque, grass-less riverside landscape, This segment becomes a paleoart piece in action!

I am so happy to share with you that we finally have a premiere date! Surviving Earth will premiere Thursday June 4th on Peacock! NEW episodes will premiere every Thursday after the 4th! #SurvivingEarth #paleoart #dinosaurs

My social media silence is not because I'm dead, kidnapped, or abducted by aliens; I'm working around the clock to make Book 7 all that it can be before submission later this month. Here's a new #paleoart take on Microraptor and Yuanchuavis to show what I'm up to. OK, break over: back to work...

Unlike the baitball segment from LOOP E01 (which emphasizes 'convergence of lineages' and fails to articulate even that), #TheDinosaurs 's first segment aims only to immerse the audience and show the full diversity of dinosaurs at the peak of their reign. It does both splendidly.

Bob Nicholls, Raúl Martín, Joschua Knüppe, Gabriel Ugueto, Mauricio Antón... #SurvivingEarth is truly an 'avengers assemble' event for the great paleoartists of our time! Can't wait to see these majestic concept artworks being brought to life on screen!

Allow me to introduce you to Sonselasuchus cedrus, a new bipedal, beaked and herbivorous crocodile-relative that lived during the Late Triassic in North America #paleoart #sciart

#LifeOnOurPlanet #TheDinosaurs Of all the portrayals of K-Pg, this one is the most heartbreaking...

A bit of fun dinosaur art. A beachcombing Allosaurus scores big finding the corpse of an Opthalmosaurus on the edge of the Sundance Sea (which puts me in mind of one of favourite Cure songs).

#LifeOnOurPlanet #TheDinosaurs Eatin' good!

At #Patreon, I've been discussing my 2024 #paleoart murals for the Cleveland Museum of Natural History: www.patreon.com/markwitton. They include a life-size Allosaurus, Cambrian faunas, Yixian pterosaurs, birds and insects, Cleveland Shale strata and fishes... #FossilFriday #sciart #paleontology

#LifeOnOurPlanet 'The two begin a ritual display. Their coordinated moves as formal as a dance...' 24 HOURS AWAY FROM #TheDinosaurs !

I did it!!!! I finished this illustration just in time for ECCC. If you can't make it to the show and want to snag a copy for yourself it's in my store: www.emmalerae.com/store.html Sadly because I injured my arm due to being middle aged, I didn't finish the stargazer piece. :( But soon...

You all know I had to do it. Here is my reconstruction of the newly described Spinosaurus mirabilis, including its magnificent scimitar-shaped head crest #paleoart #sciart #dinosaurs #spinosaurus

Check out the new video from @skeletoncrewpaleo.bsky.social youtu.be/JFAtjnKsiTs?...

I get a quote here on the new Spinosaurus paper in @newscientist.com www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

In which I provide a few thoughts on the new Spinosaurus species, S. mirabilis. www.newscientist.com/article/2516... I also stressed the deep connections between one of the study authors - Nathan Myhrvold - and Geoffrey Epstein to New Scientist. They didn't mention it, neither has anyone else.

Well... the thing is out. Spinosaurus mirabilis, here we go again! #paleoart #sciart #spinosaurus

A new species, Spinosaurus mirabilis, has been identified in Niger, featuring a distinctive scimitar-shaped crest and adaptations for fish-eating in an inland river habitat.
