I'm working my way up to pear, the classiest of all the flowering trees

Sending you my Haolong dongi for Valentine’s, please respond #paleoart #haolong #dinosaur #wip #art

The list now has ✨ 100 ✨ women and enby people that draw prehistoric critters, in diverse amount of styles & animal groups covered 🦣 and I will keep adding more 🦤

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Here is your look onto the possible romantic life of a pair of Polacanthus. #dinosaurs #paleoart #sciart #happyvalentinesday

A favorite for #FossilFriday: this exquisite skull of the late Permian therocephalian Ictidosuchoides from the upper Madumabisa Mudstone Formation of #Zambia 🇿🇲 Check out those post dentary bones! 👂🏻? @burkemuseum.bsky.social

Map I made of some important Burgess Shale sites. Many people think the Burgess Shale is a monolith, one environment with hundreds of species. However, this is not the case. Each site can vary a lot. Deep brine seaps to shallow shelves, and a bunch inbetween.

Revamped skeletal drawing of a little known dinosaur named Velociraptor.

Come be my boss! The North Dakota Geological Survey is hiring the State Geologist position. They are casting a wide net in terms of professional experience, including paleontology given the strong program we have here. To apply go to www.nd.gov/jobs and search for State Geologist.

I see @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social and his little safety vest from last year lol.

Bringing this back up for the International Day of Women in Science, and yes, I consider scientific art, as part of scientific process and communication 🫰

because people keep asking what fish hell is, here's a quick visual sample of my suffering

Very quick rough sketch of the newly described spiky Hadrosauroid dinosaur Haolong dongi I had to at least rough sketch this beauty! #paleoart #sciart #dinosaurs

For those interested in @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social's Formation pieces. I finally got around to updating the interactive map for them all! (unfortunately I am quite busy so updates can get sparse) montanoceratops.github.io/Formations/

Burgess Shale is such a cool Formation because each of the quarries have such a different paleoenvironment and context within the site.

And here the result of the MOTH locality #paleostream! This incredible site from the early Devonian of Canada preserves an alien fish fauna drawn by preschoolers. As with other pieces from this series we can't actually show where these animals were preserved. The anoxic...

I finally got @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social book on Europasaurus and even created a Bluesky account just for it :) I really like it, the illustrations are extremely good, and I'm already looking forward to the next book of this kind ^^

And now for Cascolus ravitis, which seems awfully Megacherian despite not currently considered to be one. #paleoart #sciart #art

Spiny little friend. A quick doodle of Haolong dongi, a newly described ornithopod from China with... spikes. Numerous sharp spines grew from the animal's neck and back, seemingly different from all other known dinosaur integuments. Definitely wasn't on my bingo card for 2026 dinosaur finds!

A bit late but here are my flocking drawings from last Friday: Incisivosaurus, Haikouichthys, Denversaurus, and Chasmataspis #paleostream #paleoart #sciart

The one rule regarding dinosaur integument is that we should never underestimate its diversity

I don't share out this one often enough! A Pachyrhinosaurus perotorum sits down to talk to a little friend on the end of its nose. Available on Neatoshop: www.neatoshop.com/product/Pach... #sciart #paleoart #dinosaur #pachyrhinosaurus

SVP Members! I encourage you to join today's town hall on zoom at 12PM ET, and demand that leadership take action to protect our members and attendees at the 2026 Annual Meeting in Cleveland, in light of recent developments regarding the Epstein Files and what occurred at the 2024 Meeting in MN.

Stronger Together!!! #berensart2025

models I've made for my mod

Is @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social being serious here? No, the presence of a name on an email doesn't establish wrongdoing. But the *content* of those emails is what so many members, including myself, are outraged about. This response does nothing but further degrade my confidence in SVP leadership

After finishing the formation piece on Sunday we still had some time for two more pieces. Martintriton, a little Cretaceous salamander and Epiaceratherium, a basal rhino. #paleostream #paleoart #sciart

This is one of my favorite formation pieces josch has been able to capture so far. For how important Joggins is and how old it is, there's not a lot of fauna, which means each animal gets to breathe a lot more within the piece.

it was fun to scale the vertebrates for this @seismic-shrimp.bsky.social helped me a lot with finding the plant refs because i totally procrastinated due to some personal stuff. Still had a blast and I'm excited for more :3

Friend reminder that Phylogenetics & restorations aren't gospel in light of a recent ornithopod paper, remember that all Phylogenies are wrong to some extent & that just because someone restored an animal one way doesn't instantly mean its correct. Diagrams are made by people & can, & will be wrong.

New #paleoart at #Patreon for #FossilFriday: Caudipteryx encounters a frozen lake, is unsure, prob. makes wee bokking noises as its feet slide apart hilariously. Lots of discussion about the colour data of this animal in my Patreon post. www.patreon.com/posts/149439... #sciart #fossil #dinosaurs

Dsung Intersex Crest I believe that the original sketch (made a few years ago) was brought on by my anger at the invisibility of intersex people in the public eye, along with how their parents often treat them. I had no idea what to do for the background tbh #dsungaripterus #Pterosaur #paleoart

oh how I wish I could have stayed with my girlfriends in Canada instead of being forced to return here

Doodles from yesterday's flocking #paleostream featuring Platycerabos, Mixosaurus, Tetrameryx, and Hyperodapedon.

Art train!!! I'm tagging some good plant palaeoartists: @tomozaurus.bsky.social @paleobyliam.bsky.social @rebdart.bsky.social @definitelynotpedro.bsky.social

So fuck ICE. I feel helpless as a Canadian watching the news, where shit seems to get worse daily. I'm proud of the people standing up. Any Canadians know what we can do to help? Are there good charities in the US you know of? Please share if you've got something, I can't sit here anymore.

Question for my moots - I'm putting together a campaign for my newest enamel pin design but I'm torn between Kickstarter and Backerkit. Any difference between the two? Benefits of one over the other?

Happy #FossilFriday! Even delicate animals can be preserved in the #fossil record. This #wing belongs to #Lethe montana, a ~32-million-year-old #butterfly. This fossil was discovered in an ancient lake deposit on lands managed by Bureau of Reclamation in western #Montana.

Jinju Formation sketch, which will be finished someday. This stratigraphic unit contains many ichnofossils, but numerous fossils including arthropods, plants, and fishes are known, and important for understanding the post-Jehol ecosystem of the Early Cretaceous East Asia.

rare personal post: It's insane how fortunate you have to be in order to improve your life & do whats worthwhile. I'm, all things considered, an extremely hard-working person. I've done a lot to be where I am, and its still a continuous struggle to afford anything and get anywhere. C'est la vie

New listing on my Etsy shop! A one-off signed 12" x 24" giclee print of "A Cold Day Out", featuring a mother Albertosaurus and her 3 chicks on a walk thru the dawn redwood trees of Denali Park, 70 mil. years ago. #BSNM alaskanime.etsy.com/listing/4445280882/albertosaurus-family-giclee-canvas-print

I talked about this on Tumblr already but I wanted to spread this a little further, unfortunately Twitter and Bluesky are not ideal for this type of content so I will work with screenshots. In short: I DOUBT MANIPULONYX WAS A EGG SPECIALIST AND HERE IS WHY!
