The king the river wakes to a new day. #spinosaurus #sciart #paleoart

#FossilFriday & happy to see coworker & coauthor Erin Fitzgerald’s culmination of fierce fieldwork, ace preparation of difficult material & great paint job on the display-skull, out now w/ Spinosaurus mirabilis, debuting @ Chicago Children’s Museum on March 1 #SciArt

Nothosaurus skull almost done I think. #sciart #paleoart

In which I provide a few thoughts on the new Spinosaurus species, S. mirabilis. www.newscientist.com/article/2516... I also stressed the deep connections between one of the study authors - Nathan Myhrvold - and Geoffrey Epstein to New Scientist. They didn't mention it, neither has anyone else.

Why this new 'spiny dragon' dinosaur found in China is such a huge deal ... a new article at Discover Wildlife www.discoverwildlife.com/dinosaurs/ha... #dinosaurs

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

Adding details to the Nothosaurus snoot. #Blender

I made this to honour this cool new dinosaur.

This is wild.

Slowly but surely sculpting in details and fixing proportions on my Nothosaurus skull sculpture in #blender #sciart #paleoart

Stand up, fight back.

Catching up with what James Gurney, the Dinotopia artist, is up to these days. Pathetic.

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

Out in @nature.com today, we shake up the ornithischian family tree. Remember those weird Late Cretaceous iguanodontians, the rhabdodontids? Well they're weird because they aren't iguanodontians. They're ceratopsians. Well, at least some of them are... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just before the end of the year. Here's my finished #Ankylosaurus magniventris skull sculpture, 3d printed at 1/6th scale. Sculpted in #Blender. #SciArt #Paleoart #Paleontology

While the paper hasn't come out just yet, the news certainly has. Proud to announce our discovery of color patterning in a sauropod dinosaur. Will go in depth tomorrow.

⚒️🧪Feliz #FossilFriday! Happy Fossil friday with Bakiribu returned to Santana do Cariri! (Where Irritator, Mirischia and many others should be): #IrrititatorBelongstoBR

Happy #MosasaurMonday from Eustace, the holotype skull of Jormungandr walhallensis discovered in North Dakota by the NDGS. We were tasked with taking this not-quite-complete skull (right) and digitally restoring it for display at the NDGS as well as a library just a few miles from the dig site 🧪

And here the results from the Solnhofen #paleostream! This image depicts large parts of the terrestrial fauna of the Altmühltal Formation, the best understood part of the litographic limestone formations of Germany. There were several reasons for gong onto land despite...

Steppe lion enjoys the last days of summer. But mornings are getting colder, winter is coming.

#DAWNDINOS paper! We built a 3D musculoskeletal model of ~1 kg Triassic pseudosuchian archosaur Gracilisuchus. Forelimbs were a challenge. Nice articulations of ribs, vertebrae & osteoderms made a good torso & neck. Probably quadrupedal, plantigrade & not fully erect limbs. doi.org/10.1111/joa....

Be weary of the beardogs! These swift pack hunters are not to be taken lightly. New update (backers only) posted to our Kickstarter! Link in thread

Rex, all hail the king #sciart

You can see Bakiribu fossil in 3D! Access it here: www.morphosource.org/projects/000...

Diplodocid bones galore and aplenty at the Oertijdmuseum. Here some photos from a while ago of the construction of Aurora (a composite of two specimens). The skeleton was on display elsewhere for a month and is now being mounted in the Oertijdmuseum. Photos of that coming soon.

Our latest research on hadrosaurid tail injuries as possible sex indication was announced by @colbertlateshow.bsky.social , how COOL is that????? #dinosaur #paleontology

🚨New paper alert!🚨🤩 🧪⚒️Welcome the first filter-feeding pterosaur from Brazil: Bakiribu waridza, from the Araripe Basin!! 🥳 The new species is AWESOME and was discoverd inside a regurgitalite 😱🤍 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨PTEROSAUR NEWS🚨 a warm welcome to bakiribu waridza, a filter-feeding ctenochasmatid from the early cretaceous romualdo formation of brazil. described by @alinemghilardi.bsky.social et al., it is recovered as a sibling taxon to the 'flamingo pterosaur' pterodaustro (art by julio lacerda)

While going through ptero collections with @zhejiang0pterus.bsky.social we have rediscovered the missing holotype of Ornithocheirus huxleyi Seeley, 1870 in the collections of the British Geological Survey @bgs.ac.uk

Barinasuchus arveloi: as an animal, you just cannot get any cooler than this #paleoart

Ouranosaurus #paleoart

Yes, the #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge trailer is out today...

Of course the big paper on Azhdarchoid phylogeny comes out while I'm at a museum on a research visit (looking at Azhdarchoid cervicals, obviously) but now I'm back at the hotel so it's time to write a proper thread! 1/28

Our controversial paper is finally out in @cp-iscience.bsky.social ! As part of my PhD dissertation at @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social in 2021, the last chapter was dedicated to a specific pathological pattern in hadrosaurid tails!

CLUMSY MALE DINOSAURS INJURED FEMALES DURING MATING: Our new paper (Filippo Bertozzo et al. 2025), shows that a common tail injury seen in duckbilled dinosaurs was probably caused by heavy male dinosaurs clumsily crushing the spines of females during mating. /1

Happy #hadroween everyone! Here's two #Olorotitan fighting for dominance.

Nanotyrannus is real. For years I’ve considered many mid-sized gracile tyrannosaurs to be juvenile T. rex. But I was wrong. This stunning new skeleton of a mature long-armed small tyrannosaur is clearly a different species. Isn’t science fun?! www.theguardian.com/science/2025...
