Very soon(ETA June? July?), we'll have another Pinacosaurus systematic review paper coming out with many new specimens described. And, of course, my illustrations...

#SurvivingEarth Me when paleo docus run dry.

Parachoerodon rhynchus, a new genus and species of choerolophodontids from the Miocene of northern China. The skull is based on the holotype IVPP V23457 and paratype IVPP V23213.

Lazy sunday sketching. Deinotherium and some funky bipedal apes in a watering hole somewhere in east africa #sciart

Camarillasaurus cirugedae

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: WE HAVE OUR FIRST BATCH OF OFFICIAL STILLS FROM #SurvivingEarth !!!

Working on describing new polacanthid ankylosaur species from the lower Yellow Cat, basal Cretaceous, Berriasian. Got to playing around with my ilia overview fig. and it got out of control... So I guess, I got a bit more done on our ankylosaur character appendix as well for #FossilFriday.

#FossilFriday I know today is not Friday but I can't wait to share it. Holotype of the "Shanshanosaurus huoyanshanensis", which is now a synonym of Tarbosaurus bataar. Photographed in Shanghai natural history museum by me. Noted the subcutaneous flange of the maxilla.

The very difference between Spinosaurus aegyptiacus and mirabilis is the chin process protruding beyond 1st dentary alveoli or not.

Finally we have Spinosaurus mirabilis Sereno et al. 2026 here

Haolong dongi with bit of color #sciart

One day I shall return and complete this one -.-

Some more pics. Paint job was done by wnbb. It will be available in 1/35 and 1/18 scales.

Had the pleasure of making a sculpture of Sue the Tyrannosaurus rex for SHOWANNA Studio. 🦖 Pretty pleased with how this one turned out, I got to nerd out on all of her unique pathologies. The old girl lived a hard life!

happy #fossilfriday! this is postschizotherium, a rather strange hyrax that lived in the pliocene and early pleistocene of russia and china. weighing over half a tonne, recently described skull material indicates that it likely had an amphibious lifestyle like a hippo (art by @somniosa.bsky.social)

NEW ARTWORK TO START 2026 Here's "Deep Blue Buffet," commissioned by The Etches Collection. Featured, from the Late #Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay, are #SeaRex #Hybodus #Hypsocormus #Metriorhynchus #Aspidorhynchus & #Allothrissops #SciArt #PaleoArt #MarineReptiles #Pliosaurs #Pliosaurus #JurassicWorld

Not Your Mastodon! (it's Notiomastodon)

Adding to the collection of theropods with weird hands described this year. Duonychus, Mexidracon and the already posted Manipulonyx.

A group of Dinanomodon guoi is feeding beside a stream. Nearby, two Moschowhaitsia lidaqingi, large carnivorous therocephalians, are looking for an opportunity to hunt. Across the stream, a pair of Turfanodon jiufengensis are resting.

Since Dinanomodon guoi is only known from a compele cranium, I using Turfanodon jiufengensis (a close-reletive taxon of Dinanomodon) as a reference to reconstruct its postcranial region.

Officially announced that I will not update my X account.

This is an animal I'd really love to see if we get another season of Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age. It's the perfect blend of familiar and bizarre!

Getting excited... for #FossilFriday ! Our Morrison Ankylosaur monograph may be published online in a week. Hopefully, this will lead to a fix in many ankylosaur phylogenies. A dozen known Morrison ankylosaur sites spanning 4 states. Who would have think it 35 years ago?

”Bloody Mary” Nanotyrannus #sciart

We'll close out this #FossilFriday with the obvious choice of Nanotyrannus. I couldn't share this CT scanning session at the time (June 2023) but can now. @jgn-paleo.bsky.social brought the holotype Cleveland skull he had on loan, and CMNH VP curator Caitlin Colleary & I joined in the fun!

Making some fresh models to sharpen my 3D skills, and what better subject to do that than our lovely brazilian Pleistocene megafauna? #SciArt #artbyjulio

Why do mammals need so many face muscles 😭

Forgot to announce I have a new paper out this week! Animals that are more front-heavy have thicker, differently shaped forelimb bones to deal with the extra load. Limb bones alone may thus be useful proxies for body shape - but posture complicates things. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

ISCHIGUALASTIA CONCEPT ARTWORKS FROM #SurvivingEarth CREATED BY GABRIEL UGUETO AND RAUL MARTIN!!! TRIASSIC ENJOYERS FINALLY EATING GOOD!!!

steller’s sea cow (Hydrodamalis giganteus) I recently read Beasts of the Sea by Iida Turpeinen that recounts in dramatic fashion the voyage of Steller, the discovery, subsequent extinction, and the discovery of the skeleton of one and how it ended up In Helsinki. A wonderful book you should read.
