Beautiful.

It's quite out of date now - mostly because of Mark Witton and Ellinor Michel's excellent book The Art and Science of the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs - but here's a 2020 talk I gave on the #CrystalPalace prehistoric animals... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygcJ...

My first #fossilfriday here in BSkyPaleo! Witness the glorious holotype of Ouranosaurus, discovered in 1965 by Philippe Taquet and exhibited in Niamey since then. We saw it during the #NigerEXP2022 and many stuff are expected to happen in the near future about it 😏 #dinosaur #paleontology #science

Introducing my favorite fossil in the teaching collection! A Mosasaur bitten ammonite! www.instagram.com/p/DCrhuWqILP...

Our first Fossil Friday on BlueSky with our museum’s first holotype: Utahraptor! 31 years after being named, this dromaeosaur is still the largest on the planet. Our specimen is represented by this ungual (claw bone) and several other elements #FossilFriday #paleontology #palaeontology #dinosaur

More behind-the-scenes content coming soon… #whydinosaurs

What if the world ends but life still goes on... Asteriornis, a few years after the KPg extinction event, nesting in the remains of a mosasaur. #paleoart #sciart #paleostream #birds

Is it just me, or do Prognathodons have the most charming smiles? 😍

Trying to find the artist responsible for this brilliant piece of work. #jurassicpooh

A growing collection of the people and places who helped make WHY DINOSAURS a reality.

Comparing the original Jurassic Park “velociraptor” toe claw to Utahraptor (w/ and w/o a keratin sheath). As @paleojim.bsky.social says in WHY DINOSAURS, “My claw’s bigger than Spielberg’s claw.” #whydinosaurs #dinosaurs #paleontology #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #fossils #velociraptor #utahraptor

Nice video, @thedinomancer.bsky.social

This one of my favorite specimens, a juvenile Mosasaurus nicknamed "Mr Sinister" #collections #mosasaur #Museum #notadinosaur #marinereptile #cute #Mrsinister

Who does't like a good Spino drawing?

Hello! My name is Cameron (Cam) Muskelly. I'm a science communicator and self taught paleontologist/ geologist located in Georgia. I study the fossil record of the Appalachian Basin and educate the public about Deep Time. My long term goal is to be a collections manager of Invertebrate Paleontology.

Hey Skye, welcome to [email protected] #whydinosaurs #dinosaur

We were honored to screen WHY DINOSAURS in the UK at this year’s #TetZooCon (next year’s DinoCon). Thank you, Darren Naish! @tetzoo.bsky.social

go.bsky.app/RYwJUEK Only good people are here. Go follow them all!

We are very excited to announce the date and venue location for our first year. #DinoConUK 2025 will held in The Great Hall and other Devonshire House spaces at the University of Exeter on Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th August 2025!

Kind words from @paleojim.bsky.social at the Utah premiere of WHY DINOSAURS Huge thanks to our hosts Clark Planetarium and Utah Friends of Paleontology, as well as NHMU, Prehistoric Museum, Utah Geological Survey, USU Museum of Geology, BYU Museum of Paleontology, and BLM Utah. #whydinosaurs

Here are ALL of the places the WHY DINOSAURS movie soundtrack is now available: hypeddit.com/ggsmrd

Hello to friends who are new and familiar! I’m Jimmy, and this is Poe. She’s a #Deinonychus and we can’t wait to meet you! We bring real and replica fossils to communities too far for field trips, because no matter who you are or where you’re from, Dinosaurs Will Always Be Awesome! DWABA.org

Meet Ajax the #Apatosaurus! He’s just 6-months old (perpetually) but he’s already reading at a 5th Grade Level. (It’s hard to turn the pages when you just have a single, spiky thumb claw!). #DWABA

This is not a drill, a mummified sabretooth cat has been published from the #Pleistocene permafrost of Russia. It's a Homotherium cub! The team (Lopatin et al.) reckon it's Homotherium latidens. It's too young to have enlarged upper canines. Paper is OA ... www.nature.com/articles/s41... cont...

Open wide!

Paleontologists have more fun. #SVP2024

Just before our #SVP2024 screening with interviewees / Q&A panelists @paleojim.bsky.social and @formorphology.bsky.social #whydinosaurs #dinosaurs #fossils #paleontologist #paleontology

It’s pretty special to be able to say my son created a state park with Utah’s governor and legislature. It’s even more special is for the site of amazing paleontological discoveries.

We really enjoyed meeting Luis V. Rey and getting a first-hand tour of this beautiful exhibit in London. What a great guy (and artist)!

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... My 2018 cover for DINOSAURS: HOW THE LIVED AND EVOLVED, by Naish & Barrett. We wanted to broaden what people viewed as a dinosaur & the NHM bravely let us do it! This first draft had an injury on the Tianyulong's hand. #PaleoArt #Dinosaurs #JurassicWorld

Very cool. More, please!

Can't wait! We know all too well how much work goes into this type of stuff.
