Merryjingleballmasday !

Some more #paleoart I made. Megalodon, Mixopterus, Utahraptor and Spitrasaurus. All works are made in traditional media 🙂 #sciart #traditionalmedia #animalart

Hi new people. I’m Eva and I mainly post my own fantasy drawings and paintings.

Welcome all the artists and other anti-AI folks from Twitter! I wanted to share some of my old work so its easier to see! I have a few new things coming down the pipeline i'm excited to share!

Finally deleted all my art off x, all which can still be seen here, Patreon, + insta. 🎉

Welcome, former Twitter artists! From paleoart to fine art, comics to medical illustration, bioart to space imagery, explore the rich SciArt ecosystem on Bluesky with the SciArt Starter Pack. 150 artists, plus the entire popular SciArt Feed 🐡. And no gen AI or NFTs.

Furry, forest frog-face

Diplomoceras (the clippy) and Pseudocenoceras

And with that the last formation piece of the year is done! Monte Bolca is one of the most famous productive fossil lagerstätten in the world! This Italian paradise for Eocene fossils is just as ingrained into paleontology like Solnhofen or Hell Creek. But since we...

This one was really fun to help research on! its such an amazing and diverse locality with centuries of research done on it. legitimately one of the most important sites full stop. its also near and dear to my heart since one of my amazing GFs is Italian and she ADORES the bolca lagertätte

After illustrating quite a few ferns, I've now moved on to cycads! Here are some examples of Jurassic cycad morphology. With great thanks to @lepidodendron.bsky.social for his insightful blog post about cycads for #paleoart! #paleobotany #cycad

Buccaspinea cooperi, a hurdiid radiodont from the Cambrian of Utah, known for its large oral-cone mouth that makes up nearly a quarter of its body length.

The sore lack of knowledge on the paleoflora of extinct ecosystems has actually even influenced the classes I take to give more attention to botany than most other paleo majors. I will always work in vert paleo, but I have been training myself in paleobotany, invert paleo & the rare paleo mycology.

loved to see the new Paper in Earth Science Reviews discussing the sore lack of flora within paleoart. I know I've been putting in a lot of effort myself into learning how to properly portray fossil plants, both within my own work as well as for projects I help on. doi.org/10.1016/j.ea...

looking at Molluscs, so sessile, much wow

A wonderful reconstruction of the kerygmachelid lobopodian, Mobulavermis adustus; by the talented artist @prehistorica.art.bsky.social. Besides privately owned individuals, Mobulavermis adustus is known

the nice part about traveling as a paleontologist is sometimes you get the joy of seeing the Brachiosaurus at ORD

more help ≠ better help/end result its mostly stressful to having to organize people not knowing what's going on, vying for the same shit everyone else wants to do, or in general just babysitting people who are in way over their heads. It's exhausting and distracts me from doing my job

Flight to Canada today, glad to finally be back, its been too long.

This #FossilFriday I am delighted to say that I have been awarded a @erc.europa.eu Consolidator Grant looking at selection in #Ediacaran animals. If interested in Ediacaran life, do come and chat at #palass2025 @thepalass.bsky.social

In light of @tessasaurus.bsky.social's amazing paper on paleocoloration of the MDQ Diplodocus, I would *highly* recommend those interested to check out @zhejiang0pterus.bsky.social's paleo color doc! they've done great work researching it and have been very responsive to sources I've found for it. 👇

Excited to announce that my second manuscript, “Fossilised Melanosomes Reveal Colour Patterning in A Sauropod Dinosaur” has been published in @royalsociety.org !! Diplodocus scales are complex and diverse, and it turns out their color patterning was even more so. A 🧵🦕 1/26

Festive furries abound

Ali has discovered her Christmas cheer (being evil)

a little texture I made for my MC mod that's releasing soonish. It's a fun project that I am glad to be apart of, and a really cool sci-comm tool since all the fossil mounts and slabs are made to be as accurate as possible.

Hope my fellow sauropod peeps are okay with an early Christmas 😉🦕

I can finally share this!!! a huge Thanks to both @skyemcdavid.com and @zhejiang0pterus.bsky.social for allowing me to do a Nyctosaur for this poster!!!

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...

Aurora, a Morrison sauropod composite skeleton. It was recently added to the dinosaur parade at the Oertijdmuseum and is our second diplodocid mount.

Another interesting fish from the Kem Kem - Bawitius! This is a 3m-long bichir, a group of fish I wasn't familiar with until starting this piece. Today, members of this group don't get more than a meter in length, and are apparently popular in aquariums! Size comparison below ⬇️ #sciart #paleoart

I passed out some pdfs of this paper yesterday, but I'm thrilled to say that the Morrison Ankylosaur monograph is on line. Hopefully this will aid in folks needing Jurassic ankylosaur character states. giw.utahgeology.org/giw/index.ph... @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social

Very excited to be delivering a talk on the Lebanese Upper Cretaceous sites of exceptional preservation, otherwise known as the famous fish beds of Lebanon, the coming Tuesday 9 December in Dorchester for the Dorset Geologist’s Association Group. dorsetgeologistsassociation.org/index.php/ev...

Quick sketch of Amphicyon confucianus (minus the fur) as it may have rested just before fossilization. A complete skeleton of this species exists (Shanghai Nat. History Museum has a photo of it), but it hasn’t been described as far as I know. #paleoart #sciart #miocene

I know the year is almost over, but maybe you have some time left before the holidays to squeeze in one more Hell Creek Formation paper? New paper on a discovery from the Hell Creek Formation of North Dakota from an international team of researchers drops next week. Watch this space...

I don't know if its a sign of growth or a downward spiral that I now crash out when students directly and willfully ignore my advice because they like their pet theories more

Maiasaura ☀️

my craziest take for researchers: PLEASE keep backups of your publications somewhere! you never know when someone (me) needs to access a paper that is over 35 years old whose digital links have been broken.

I really want to see more fieldwork teams explore localities that aren't already well-documented. I could probably name at least 100 formations that are guaranteed to have wonderful discoveries if anyone was able to secure the grant money to actually put boots on the ground

it appears plagiorizer William Toosey tries his shit again, that's my Propalorchestes in his "Journey through the Cenozoic". I suspect this is just the tip of it. Many of these are just other people's work with a new texture slapped on top. Lots of JRC art here.

'Tis the season for graduate school applications, so here's a reminder that I'm recruiting! My lab uses a combination of fossils, statistical phylogenetics, fieldwork, & computational methods to study macroevolutionary dynamics in the marine biosphere. Check the link below & feel free to reach out

Corythosaurus #sciart

#FossilFriday (well, really "#SubfossilFriday): Skeleton of a female upland moa (Megalapteryx didinus) @OtagoMuseum

Once more some mammoths

reminder that glaciation in one site in the Campanian doesn't mean that there's glaciation at the same latitude across the planet.

Doodles for Hong Kong 🇭🇰 In response to the tragic Tai Po fire, I'm doing charity commissions. Anyone who puts over £25/250HKD into "Feeding Hong Kong" or Hong Kong SPCA can request a coloured doodle of any prehistoric animal 🙏

the timing of me looking for some summer paleo work lined up with the worst time for getting hired in the sciences.

I'm glad I have cats today
