Happy #Ostara! Spring has sprung in the Rockies!

I have a paleontology joke but I don't think you'd dig it.

If you're anywhere near Montana, check out the fantastic Dinosaurs & MOR at @museumoftherockies.bsky.social , March 27-29! A fossil-filled weekend for families and the public. With an awesome lineup of scientist speakers. I was there in 2024 and loved it! museumoftherockies.org/signature-ev...

Something different for #TrilobiteTuesday This is an X-ray of a Chotecops trilobite from the Devonian Hunsruck slate near Bundenbach, Germany. The soft tissues were replaced with pyrite or fool's gold and are denser than the rock. The X-ray shows the denser material including legs and gills.

My, how the tables have turned since 2025! There has been some very cool work done by Lindsay Zanno and @jgn-paleo.bsky.social demonstrating that not only is #Nanotyrannus a valid genus, but one that contains TWO species! Science is powerful because it can always change what we think we know.

Not many museums would ask for this...... a taphonomic model #paleontology #fossils #PaleoReconstruction

@paleeoguy.bsky.social with some refreshing proactive problem-solving proposals for improving and formalizing paleo field and lab skills training. #PaleoFest2026

Just a quick heads up for those who intended to use the free scale bars handed out at this year's SVP by #PaleoTools: don't...

Thanks buddy! :) You've been a great friend and colleague.

Photos via CMNH (fossil) and Witmer & Ridgley, 2010 (CT model) of a juvenile #Tyrannosaurus rex collected in 1942 from Carter Co., MT. Scan data reveal extent of reconstruction. IMO no publications yet show data sufficient to support the genus "Nanotyrannus". Especially damning: Woodward et al 2020.

New species of #Xiphactinus just dropped @mosasaurologist.bsky.social

Happy Thanksgiving! It's the 10th anniversary of my silly turkey ala paleoart drawing. "Gobble gobble" and have a wonderful holiday! #thanksgiving #paleoart #turkey #meleagrisgallopavo #gobblegobble #turkeyday #dinosaur #birdsaredinosaurs #paleontology

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and as I do every year I am sharing my favorite turkey day video: the @williamshatner.bsky.social deep fried turkey safety song. Eat, fry, love. Complete with early 2000's auto tune, and the #dingledangle. Be safe and be happy! youtu.be/Z4Qxqmhqj1A?...

Greetings and Happy #FossilFriday A quiet end of the week here at UNSM, but I'm kept company by some of the largest beasts to ever walk the Earth. Here's one of our better Bison latifrons specimens, with horns spanning over 2 meters - if I lay down next to it they'd be longer than me! ⚒️🧪🦕

I don't remember where I got this from, but apparently it is by Peter Klucik (Czech artist b. 1953). Iguanodon is the best #dinosaur Happy #FossilFriday!

Hi Everyone! Your friendly neighborhood paleontologist here (@paleeoguy elsewhere). I'll start this off with T. rex cuz I want those clicks. :) #trex #tyrannosaurus #paleontology #paleontologist
