New #paleoart-heavy blogpost for #FossilFriday: I discuss the textures of carcharodontosaurid skulls in an attempt to reconstruct the face of Giganotosaurus (a tricky animal to research but a cool one to draw). https://t.co/r8J97qeEvm
ICYMI: The new fish relative #Qikiqtania debuted this week, and despite being cousin to tetrapods, was thoroughly aquatic. You could say it was a bit of a backslider. https://t.co/PWsckCtJv0

#Paleoart from 2017 for #FossilFriday: the giant placoderm Titanichthys filters through Devonian seas. This image is featured in my old school "tour-through-time" 2020 book Life Through the Ages II. I had a blast putting LTTAII together, I hope to something like it again someday.
Happy #FossilFriday - ICYMI Naish and Cau @unisouthampton present the osteology and affinities of #Eotyrannus lengi, a #tyrannosauroid theropod from the Wealden Supergroup of southern England

A new study by a China/UK/US group looks at animal traces (ichnofossils) on seafloors to see look at recovery after Earth's largest mass extinction: https://t.co/tTuiuoQsVu #OpenAcess #SciNews #FossilFriday
New #paleoart to the (public) internet for #FossilFriday: from 2018, the entirety of my rising Shonisaurus popularis scene. The idea is that these animals are hunting cooperatively and corraling squid, hence the leftmost animal swallowing down a tentacley meal.

Busy day in the @ROMtoronto collections as the Eramosa Lagerstätte covered the tables. We had a bit of help from this stowaway Bold Jumper, who is probably much happier outdoors than in the near-shore Silurian #FossilFriday
