When new studies on #dinosaur #anatomy are published, it's important to view them in the broader context of anatomical studies of dinos & living #biology. What's cool abt the new Amargasaurus #histology study is that it supports previous hypotheses abt neural spine function.
The new #histology study on #Amargasaurus' spines has implications for #paleoart beyond what has been depicted:
As suggested by Diplo soft-tissue studies by @DoubleBeam, @SV_POW, Schwarz & others, Amargas' spines were likely connected by soft tissues along the >midline< (thread)
Let's play
Spot The Early #Jurassic #Tuatara
(in the #KayentaFormation #timeline #mural for @SGDinoDiscovery)
Can you find em? @AndrewTracks said they should be there... based on teeth and tracks found near #StGeorge #Utah...
Apparently #BlueArt is an art posting excuse hashtag rn so here are some #paleoart tings i made before.
First 2 commissioned by @TrieboldPaleo for #SavageAncientSeas & the #Jurassic theropods on the beach for @UtahPaleo/@paleochick

At the Mill Canyon Bone Trail (near the recently damaged #Cretaceous tracksite) you can see actual #dinosaur bones from the #Jurassic #MorrisonFormation in the river sandstone that buried them. That site features skeletal diagrams by @skeletaldrawing
Just a heads up for my supporters that I will be hosting a youtube livestream / Q&A exploring the Kayenta Timeline #mural I recently completed for @SGDinoDiscovery at 11am pacific TODAY!
Livestream link will be posted to my patreon & the gofundme page so supporters can tune in!
In addition to the big pieces for the @WesternCenter's new Menefee Exhibit, I also did a bunch of small quick "field sketches" as though exploring the Menefee as a naturalist on foot. Here are a few of my favourites. https://t.co/0cidIvaOto

I wish I knew/could shoutout all the people who put this amazing exhibit together, but I don't so I'm going to focus on the artists.
@MesozoicMuse KILLED IT. I don't even know how many murals she painted for this exhibit but they're all THIS HUGE and THIS FULL OF HEROES.
