Welcome to the world Jian changmaensis, the newest microraptorine! Our lead paleontologist at the Carnegie Matt Lamanna was part of the team that named and described this awesome new animal! www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

A selection of some of North America’s most famous and notable apex predators across millennia…

T.rex times 2! #FossilFriday

Happy #FossilFriday from the dentary that spurred the AMNH to name T.rex before the Carnegie could…

Sauropod and whale paleontologists battling to see which giants would win. I’m rooting for @tessasaurus.bsky.social but I’m dinosaur biased, sorry Piero

Prehistoric Kingdom kills it every time!

Always makes for a good day…

Went to a mineral and gem show today. Picked up a random cow jaw and fossil horse tooth for less than $20 total. Not bad!

Blep

New addition at work, added Dippy the Diplodocus to the lineup…

I forgot to say. I really liked The Dinosaurs

A selection of fossil casts at the Carnegie used for outreach. Triceratops, Fedexia, Dunkelosteus, and more. #FossilFriday

New mammal tooth fossil for the collection. Not mammal savvy enough to ID beyond it’s definitely a tooth! Lol

Well yesterday was Barnum Brown’s birthday so for #FossilFriday it seems fitting to share fossils from the skull of the T.rex holotype CM9380

Boop

Some Didelphodon canines Fran found when we were in Montana for a dig with Dr. Carr in 2021. We return to the field for the first time since to hunt for dinosaurs again this summer through the Carnegie. #FossilFriday

Finalized our route for this summers roadtrip! Featuring a dino dig, museums, national parks, and more!

My Acrocanthosaurus arrived today! Here it is with my friends Argentinosaurus, both 1:35 scale by the way

Plateosaurus, one of the earlier large dinosaurs and a sign of what was to come. #FossilFriday

I really gotta do better about building my platform here. I’m stubborn with Twitter and BlueSky isn’t perfect but… yeah. Gotta do what we can right? Anyways, phytosaur snoot in collections because phytosaurs are cool!

Ordered my Haolonggood Acrocanthosaurus the other day 🤘🏻

A little claw I found while working in collections a few weeks ago. #FossilFriday

Dippy the Diplodocus. Many casts of this 25 meter giant exist but there’s only one place to see the original…

That can’t be comfortable Mochi

POV: mammals circa 66mya

Meet Freya, our second leopard gecko and fourth reptile overall…

Totally not Dinosaur Revolution T.rex has arrived!

Spent the day in collections at the Carnegie and this is my new favorite thing…

I never buy anything for myself but I finally broke down and ordered this totally not Dinosaur Revolution T.rex, lol

Happy #FossilFriday from our cast of Jane the Nanotyrannus!

Fossil Hyneria tooth from the Red Hill site, alongside a sizable fish scale and other fossils…

I’m really bad at keeping up with this account. So here’s a big one(literally). Cast of Scotty, one of the largest known T.rex specimens so far. Can recognize this bruiser anywhere

Uppies #FossilFriday

Next summer, finally returning out west for field work! This time in the Almond Formation. Cool spot, lots of stuff that’s often referred to one thing but is likely new/different. Anchiceratops is a good example. #FossilFriday

Friday October 17th is Haunted Museum After Dark at the Carnegie! 21+ only, costumes encouraged! I’ll be there talking about the Jurassic Park movie monsters! Should be fun, come join us!

The famous Red Hill Fossil Site and some fossils from the local collection, featuring the two most famous critters found there: Hynerpeton and Hyneria

Lucy’s tank and a craft store find, haha. Only $8 for the passable T.rex skull and $10 for the Jurassic Park sign…

I’ll be at the Carnegie on Monday doing some cool stuff in collections. If you happen to be in the area, drop by! I’ll come out of the dungeon to say hi 🤘🏻 PS- ignore the gremlin

Little bit of evening hiking…

Gotta love a big swimmy lizard. #FossilFriday

The eyes of a killer

Currently fundraising to get this awesome Tanycolagreus! I hope I can, it’ll be great for outreach…

Oof, I didn’t realize it’s been a month since I posted! My bad! Here’s DinoDays at Reptiland

DinoFest was a huge success!

Up close with a cast Triceratops frill…

That seems about right…

So everyone…this is Lucy 😊

Happy #FossilFriday! Little peak at some fossils in the Carnegie Invertebrate Paleontology collection…

One blue whale vert or one Henry for scale…

Some people really don’t seem to comprehend how big Tarbosaurus is…
