The new iguanodont with novel skin coverings. In addition to the large scute-like scales on the tail, the body is covered with what the author's describe as "spikes". The largest ones are about 4 cm long but almost a cm thick, resembling short quills. The smaller ones are hair or eyelash-like.

fantastic! we have a baby one that sometimes makes a cameo at events..

If I were to sell my artwork as stickers, which one would you be most willing to get? Keep in mind that i will probably remove the melanosome image from the Diplodocus one

happy #FossilFriday. It is very early in the year and I already have a favorite paper with the newly described Haolong. HOWEVER, this is *not* a feathered dinosaur! The structures on Haolong are very different from filaments. A 🧵

In light of today’s palaeo news, and whilst not claiming to be a visionary genius or anything (that’s for history to judge… 😉) I’m just gonna drop my illustration of a quilled and spiky iguanodon from back in 2021. Sometimes you don’t need to be good. Just lucky. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What do you guys think of my silly pet lizard? :> I may have to re-home some of them to people tho on a certain website (et5y) 🤔🦎

There’s a new dinosaur documentary series coming out. That’s good! The dinosaurs look stiff and like 2010s cgi. That’s bad. The Triassic gets some attention. That’s good! Narrated by repeat harasser Morgan Freeman. That’s bad.

Happy #FossilFriday everybody! Today The Crew is celebrating with a #livestream at 9:00pm Eastern to discuss the trailer for the newly announced #Netflix documentary The Dinosaurs, featuring rarely or never before seen Mesozoic critters, environments and behaviors.

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.

Musk is such pathetic worm, not even the evil pedo rapist bastards wanted him. Absolutely vile stuff is coming from these new files and its just the beginning.

Happy #FossilFriday AND National Draw a Dinosaur Day!

Big news! 🎉 The David B. Jones Foundation has fully funded our field internship program for the next five years, the largest foundation grant in Elevation Science history! This support ensures long-term, hands-on field training for future paleontologists. We're incredibly grateful!

How good was #DinoConUK 2025? Well, here's a reminder.... (thanks to @tomjurassic.bsky.social!!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqh-... As you can see, it was phenomenal. Roll on DinoCon 2026. TICKETS ON SALE THIS WEEK, follow @dinoconuk.bsky.social

Fossils aren't just bones! It's easy to think of giant sauropod leg bones or a terrifying theropod claw, but what about other kinds of fossils? They can come in the form of sea shells, coprolites, or even footprints! Thanks for joining us for episode 2 of Paleo Bites! 🦴

For someone who has yet to land in a PhD program, man do I have a shit ton of stuff going on. In the last 6 months I have: >reviewed 2 papers >published >written 2 grants (submitted one) and have ~2 new research projects planned. I'm marchin along just fine. 🦕

Posting a little reminder :>

NEW ARTWORK TO START 2026 Here's "Deep Blue Buffet," commissioned by The Etches Collection. Featured, from the Late #Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay, are #SeaRex #Hybodus #Hypsocormus #Metriorhynchus #Aspidorhynchus & #Allothrissops #SciArt #PaleoArt #MarineReptiles #Pliosaurs #Pliosaurus #JurassicWorld

New blog post in our new series The Rambling Scientist: elevationscience.org/field-journa... Today’s topic: the 2025 Aurora Borealis

New material of Ajkaceratops cements its identity as a ceratopsian, but adds a new wrinkle. It turns out that many european ornithischians previously classified as iguanodontians may actually be ceratopsians! New paper by @tweetisaurus.bsky.social et al., that I provided art for (link in reply).

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

Relatives of Triceratops have never been found in Europe – until now. New research reveals that many rhabdodontid dinosaurs might actually be ceratopsians after all - rewriting what we know about Cretaceous Europe! Find out all about these dinosaurs 👇 www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

If you created any artwork based on our recent study on Diplodocus color patterns, we would love to see it!!! Please feel free to reply to this with your colorful dippy art 🦕🖌️🎨

More Blender shenanigans, this time with Apatosaurus!
