...and if you want a breezy, one-page overview, here's a handy cut-out-and-keep infographic. The QR code in the corner will take you straight to the paper (so, you know, when the arguments start about this, no one has any excuse not to be informed).
Over at #Patreon, I've posted the high-res version of my recent-ish Triceratops #paleoart piece. You can check it out at https://t.co/dQIcfjXt8W. Lots more to come at Patreon this week!
I have a big drop of new #paleoart coming next week, but for now I'm mining the archive again for #FossilFriday. Here's Mystriosuchus steinbergeri, from 2018. This is probably one of my better paintings - I often don't like looking at older work, but I think this holds up.
...because it's pretty generic without them. The fossil record holds animals that are way more awesome, arresting and potentially scarier than 65's fictional creations and, in my mind's eye, I was watching a far superior version with animals like these...
For #FossilFriday, here's #paleoart of Rhamphorhynchus creating Rhamphichnus, simultaneously also creating a sentence with far too many "h"'s. It would be neat to explore more non-pterodactyloid terrestrial locomotion in art, but time is never on my side.
New blog post! Using the behaviour of modern animals to answer the century-old question: "horned dinosaurs vs. theropods: how much did horns matter?" https://t.co/XGneHd5ecO.
Starring Triceratops #paleoart, because it's theropods vs. ceratopsids, who else could feature?
More new #paleoart at #Patreon for #FossilFriday! Tyrannosaurus takes on a giant Alamosaurus. Alamosaurus laughs.

Varied spinosaurid #paleoart for #FossilFriday to celebrate the announcement that @Dave_Hone and I are working on a book on this group for @BloomsburyBooks. Don't hold your breath - it won't be out until 2025 - but you can commence getting a little excited right.... now.
If we're using pneumatised pectoral girdles and forelimbs to predict syrinx evolution, and are now thinking this was a deep dino or perhaps basal onithodiran event, pterosaurs are suddenly very relevant - even early pterosaurs have pneumatised shoulders and arms. Hmm.
