My #Tylosaurus #mural is now on display @museumatPF in Overland Park #Kansas, in the new exhibit #SavageAncientSeas. To learn more, check out this short video I made on the science of creating this #paleoart ft @Mosasaurologist WATCH VIDEO > https://t.co/GN3il7f1sQ

For #FossilFriday, here's #paleoart of battling Iguanodon. We're used to the idea of igaunodonts having huge thumb spikes to fight with, but they're quite small and/or blunt in many species. Iguanodon has very large thumb spikes however, and may have used them antagonistically.

CT scanning of a well-preserved Erlikosaurus skull revealed traits associated with a beak, & close relatives of this #dinosaur were known to sport feathers as well. #FossilFriday #JurassicWorld #JurassicWorldAlive

Drepanosaurus: genus of tree-dwelling reptiles that lived during the Triassic Era,~250-201MYA. They were insectivores & lived on coastal spots of what is modern-day Italy& midwestern USA. Discovered in 1979. They had hooked tails to aid in climbing&holding branches. #FossilFriday
Scientific illustrations in the mid 1800s were just stunning. This is a skull of a cave hyena from Somerset, in 'British Pleistocene Mammalia' (1866). (Art by J. Greene). #FossilFriday
Have spent a lot of this week working on a new Jurassic marine life mural (will be released soon), so here's #paleoart for #FossilFriday on the same theme: Jurassic ichthyosaur Ophthalmosaurus, plus bonus pterosaurs.
Given the recent publication of young Spinosaurine material from Morocco, as well as the subsequent flood of artwork depicting a speculative young Spinosaurus, I thought I'd contribute for day one of #JurassicJune and #FossilFriday https://t.co/Nau6qh8cee

Oh yeah, if this is a #JurassicJune on the first day, I just can’t leave it without showing off with true events of feathered coloration of both Anchiornis (melanosomes) and Caihong (structural color). #FossilFriday #paleoart
@PeteMakovicky @FieldMuseum Looking forward to seeing the exhibit @FieldMuseum. Photos and reconstruction of the type specimen of Antarctosuchus, from my JVP article with Seb Steyer and Bill Hammer. #FossilFriday
~74 MYA, a Velociraptor & Protoceratops were locked in a fierce battle. Velociraptor plunged its rear claws deep into the neck of Protoceratops which responded by trying to rip the former's arm off. 1971: Polish-Mongolian team discovered them in S. Gobi Desert. #FossilFriday
I thought this design created by my twin sister @GinaViglietti back in 2014 for one of our PSSA conferences would be appropriate to share on #FossilFriday and #AfricaDay
For #FossilFriday, here's some #paleoart of the British wukongopterid Cuspicephalus boldly facing a blustery day. Note that 'boldly' meant 'cowering behind quillworts' in the Jurassic.
Sue is the largest, most extensive & best preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex specimen ever found at over 90% recovered. It was discovered in August 1990, by Sue Hendrickson, & is named after her. The fossil was auctioned for $8.3 million, the most ever paid for a fossil. #FossilFriday
