why is depicting what we humans* feel is "most likely" the ultimate goal to strive for in #paleoart? Do you get a prize or something if some day we find a complete dino mummy fossil & you got everything right?
*we humans who have been historically wrong about everything
It's funny to me that some ppl think of me as the gnarly violent dino combat #paleoart dude (which isn't untrue) but I'm also the dude who has painted tons of pretty plant life, sparkly fish & invertebrates, & animals nesting & parenting...
so maybe thats an external bias 🤷♂️
#Paleontology informs our #climate perspectives, & my main goal as a #paleoartist is to make #art that helps/encourages the public to understand these connections & how they all relate back to #ecology, #biodiversity, & long term species survival (incl our own!) #Sciart #scicomm
Ayo #FossilFriday, here's that hot pink #Dilophosaurus for @ZionNPS yall ordered. I turnt the noggin up to full reef fish mode for the breeding season. Full view next tweet.

My big thanks go out to @paleochick, @AndrewTracks, @SGDinoDiscovery & @NotThatMarsh for introducing me to this fascinating geologic period & its formations, & to @ZionNPS / Robyn Henderek for this gig!

@2Someoneelse Hopped on it? I've been putting weird wattles all over dinos for ages...
@HellCreekAlcedo Yes, the whole bodyplan is highly speculative, aside from it probably being bipedal. If you look at their skeletal reconstruction, only the bones in white are known, and they do not tell us for sure which ornithiscian dino group this animal is most closely related to.
