Finally I go to Fukui today

I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.

Happy #FossilFriday from my favorite fish on the planet, stupid Xiphactinus. I found this one on accident one morning last October under about 2 inches of chalk and 2 whole bushes. The teeth are kinda shot, but the rest of it is well articulated and kinda nice!

#Sciart #Paleoart #Dinosaur Spicomellus

Hi all, me, @richardjbutler.bsky.social and the amazing UK-US-Moroccan team are delighted to announce that.. we have a new specimen of Spicomellus AND IT'S WAY WEIRDER AND WAY COOLER THAN WE EVER IMAGINED!!

Yanliao biota (middle Jurassic china) palaeontinidae (cicada relatives) I think all the best known taxa are present together with few more obscure ones. While the colors are artistic vision the specific wing patterns are not and are as they were preserved in the fossils. It's quite magical. #sciart

I'm in a Kem Kem mood it seems. On the other end of the spectrum from the lithe and lanky Deltadromeus is the stocky and robust Carcharodontosaurus! Size comparison below ⬇️ #paleoart #sciart

Why didn't sauropods "eat themselves into starvation"? A thread 🧵 #paleontology #scicomm

Paleoart commissions opened! Feel free to contact me. I have experience working on various books and papers, with the most notable artwork being the cover of the 4th issue of Volume 44 of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.

Birds. Words finished and edited! And we have a title now... Coming May-June 2026! @marinerbooks.bsky.social @picadorbooks.bsky.social

Ruri Rocks really speaks to anyone who has ever been labelled as the "weird kid" at school for having an esoteric interest, or was discouraged by "responsible" adults, only to find out that not only is your special interest worthwhile, but that you can have a future in continuing to pursue it

Look. At. This. (!). A fungus spore landed on this weevil. Grew inside and caused it to climb to the top of this plant- while the fungus killed it. Consumed its body. Used that energy to shoot up a red fruiting body to release more spores. To zombify more weevils. A mind controlling killer fungus.

Korean version of <The Rise and Reign of the Mammals> by @stevebrusatte.bsky.social. Just as like his previous book, his book has the power to immerse people keep reading the book. No wonder why I skipped dinner yesterday.

@platypupu.bsky.social 작가님의 <공룡 사전>. 우리나라에서는 아마 처음으로 페이퍼아트와 접목시킨 공룡 책으로 알고 있다. 시각자료는 말할 것도 없고, 우리나라에서 나오는 책들에서는 별로 다뤄주지 않는 내용들까지 잘 다뤄주는 것도 인상적이었다. 앞으로도 이런 책들이 더 많이 나와야 한다고 생각한다. 개인적으로는 매우 신선해서 좋았다. 공룡을 좋아하는 어린이들이 봐야 하는 건 티라노사우루스나 코끼리 말고는 아무 말도 못하는 사짜 유튜브 채널들이 아니라 이런 책이다.

Just purchased fur brushes by @villesinkkonen.bsky.social , hope this could be helpful for my future works.

I am proud and grateful to present a dream project today in @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... Meet #Mirasaura grauvogeli, a #wonderreptilewith skin appendages that rival feathers and hairs, challenging our view of reptile #evolution🪶🦎

I have to hand it to Ruri Rocks for nailing how a grad student's workstation looks like

www.mapress.com/pe/article/v... Although this paper is published in the journal Paleoentomology, I believe this issue is not limited to insect fossils. I especially agree that a reassessment of many dubious taxa should be conducted for more accurate taxonomy and evolutionary history.

Look what arrived today :D @zhejiang0pterus.bsky.social @jhemiptera.bsky.social @davehone.bsky.social

Morning all. Meet Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae, a new neornithishian dinosaur from the Morrison Formation. It goes on display @nhm-london.bsky.social from tomorrow. Paper by @profpaulbarrett.bsky.social and I in @royalsocietypublishing.org Open Science. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

2. If they are neither megatheropod nor from the stratigraphic unit with 'famous' dinosaur fossil records, they should represent one of the biggest taxa in their clade.

1. It should be large theropod large as T. rex, or should be discovered from the same formation with largest theropods. If the taxa is from some famous stratigraphic units like the Morrison Formation or the Kem Kem Group, it would be better.

The following conditions are essential for some taxa to get attention from dinosaur nerds.

World, meet Bolg! I’m ecstatic that our study on new #monstersaur #lizard material from the Upper Cretaceous Kaiparowits Formation of Utah! Let’s kick it off with this amazing reconstruction of the new species, Bolg amondol, by Culllen Townsend. #OpenAccess article: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

사람들은 잘못된 정보들을 여과 없이 받아들이고 퍼나른다. 그 쓰레기들을 치우는 건 우리의 몫이다. 우리가 무슨 부귀영화를 누리겠다고 그러는 게 아니다. 이런 것들이 모이고 모이면 과학에 대한 불신이 축적된다고 생각한다.

공룡 복원 못 믿는다는 유튜브 쇼츠 나올때마다 뒷목 잡게 된다. 어디서부터 잘못되었을까.
