@Chris_Manias @WillTattersdill @dr_r_fallon @cpdinosaurs Yes, they seem to linger on in mainland Europe longer than elsewhere. I'm thinking of images by Camille Flammarion in "Le monde avant la creation de l'homme", fascinating collision of old-school Owenian and more 'advanced' American-influenced dinosaurs in her art.

@SBolyman I already have, sort of.

I don't think I've ever seen an ichthyosaur muscle reconstruction, so thought I'd spend a few moments on one this morning... I've emerged from the rabbit hole hours later with this take on Ophthalmosaurus myology (drawn over skeletal McGowan and Motani 2003)

@TetZoo @thejohnconway @cmkosemen "A large, intelligent iguanian from the Squamozoic surely explains the Loveland Frog"

You fool! Can’t you see it’s a massive conspiracy from the Lovecraftian Deep Ones? Or have they gotten to you too?

New Patreon post: high-res updated hatchling Scleromochlus. At c. 50-60 mm long, these guys were surely some of the cutest Triassic animals going. Check the HD painting out for just $1 a month, and get access to loads of other #paleoart exclusives! https://t.co/JXe4W66Y5B

To help us forget about politics, here's some #FossilFriday Rhamphorhynchus muensteri #paleoart. The 3 big animals are based on the largest known (1.8 m wingspan) muensteri specimen, which was once thought to be a unique species. Turns out it's just a really large adult.

For #FossilFriday, here's a private #paleoart commission of Tiktaalik I completed earlier this year. It took some time to get the body shape right as there's lots of subtle nuances to tetrapodomorph anatomy. They weren't just gars with funky heads and limbs.

The Oligocene Pacific had grey, miserable mornings too: see for yourself with my latest #paleoart post at #Patreon, where the plotopterid Copepteryx braves shoreline drizzle. See it in high-res and find loads of other palaeo content there, from $1 a month. https://t.co/dgsB1VYsyE

For #FossilFriday, here's my 2017 #paleoart of the largest known ape, Gigantopithecus blacki, as featured in the Palaeoartist's Handbook and my upcoming book, Life Through the Ages II. It's sharing the scene with a Homo erectus.

For #FossilFriday, here's some #paleoart of the newly-named azhdarchid Cryodrakon made several years before the specimen was named. The two older images here are from 2009 (a whole decade ago!) and the newer, prettier version is from 2016.
