For #FossilFriday, how about some in-progress images from this piece. I really enjoyed doing it, thanks for all the fantastic support! https://t.co/iZT00zz0vg
New #paleoart at #Patreon: Tyrannosaurus vs. polar bear vs. Andrewsarchus vs. @Gizz47 vs. Beau the greyhound. Who wins? Depends on what the competition is. Full-res and discussion here: https://t.co/RvUyIF6XxX. Oh, and I guess this'll work for #FossilFriday, too!
For #FossilFriday, I can FINALLY announce that next Thursday (2/10) a REALLY cool new dino paper will drop! So, what's it about? You'll just have to wait 'til next week😉 But here's a sneak peek of one of the figs...

For this #FossilFriday, here is the lectotype of Teleidosaurus calvadosii (J.-A. Eudes-Deslongchamps, 1866) (from the University of Caen) and the reconstruction of the corresponding specimen (University of Bordeaux, no. UB 116-11-1) #Geodiversitas 43 (6): https://t.co/rmjwYMg8KY
On #FossilFriday, we're pleased to announce the publication of a new specimen of Irajatherium hernandezi, a poorly known probainognathian #cynodont from the #Triassic of Brazil by @KerberLeonardo, @agu_martinelli @FlavioAPretto

@AnatRecord @WileyEcolEvol
For #FossilFriday, an ongoing work by Jiaming Hui on the diploic veins inside the bones of this Neandertal skull. Because we are not studying only #brains in @BrainPaleo !
For #FossilFriday, some #paleoart from 2016: the azhdarchid that would eventually become Cryodrakon is scavenged by a variety of dinosaurs and pterosaurs. I should do top-down views more often, they're fun to execute and interesting to look at.
For #FossilFriday, here are a couple of FEA tests on the skulls of two small, early #tyrannosaurs, #Proceratosaurus and #Dilong. Special thanks to @RaulRamosArt and @Beast_SculptKit for sharing the 3D models! These models are also awesome!
For #FossilFriday, from the Lower Callovian (Middle Jurassic) of Voulte-sur-Rhône in France, Proteroctopus ribeti, described in 1982.
For #FossilFriday, here’s #Proceratosaurus an early #tyrannosaur from the Middle Jurassic Period of England. Artwork by @SerpenIllus
For #FossilFriday, a thread on the new paper I published yesterday with @TetZoo and @gimpasaura, on the flight capabilities of hatchling pterosaurs. You may have seen this in the news already. Our PR #paleoart is below, & the full paper is at @SciReports: https://t.co/iHhgLuRVx0
For my first participation in #FossilFriday, here are some distal epiphyses of radii belonging to Amphicynodon leptorhynchus 🐻, which show a very strange medial tuberosity ... 🤨 For more details, you can check our article: https://t.co/3gznBa8xy4
For #FossilFriday, here's an open access article on cranial anatomy of Saurornitholestes langstoni from Dinosaur Park Formation by Phillip Currie and David C. Evans:

My brain is away with early Jurassic marine reptiles this #FossilFriday, so here's the #paleoart mural I did of Rhomaleosaurus and friends for @SMTrust in 2018. We put this together pretty quickly - I wanted more fish and invertebrates but time wasn't on our side.
It's #FossilFriday, so I thought you might enjoy these Platybelodons 😃A proboscidean (group that incl. elephants🐘) that lived ~15-5 mya in Eurasia, Africa & N. America. These are in the Beijing Museum of Natural History. #Palaeoart by Nikolai Litvinenko. #mammals #fossils
For #FossilFriday, to coincide with #GodzillaVsKong, say hello to the real #Godzilla (sort of) and the creatures that inspired Godzilla’s design! First here’s Gojirasaurus, an early theropod dinosaur from the Triassic Period. Art by @paleofan. (1/3)
For #FossilFriday, here are 2D (top row) and 3D (bottom row) FEA models of an adult #Tyrannosaurus (USNM 555000 of @NMNH), a juvenile Tyrannosaurus (@JaneTheRex or BMRP 2002.4.1 of @BurpeeMuseum), and the baby tyrannosaurid #Raptorex (LH PV1). 1/2
For #FossilFriday, here’s Barbara Jones’ ‘Life-size models of Jurrasic reptiles in the grounds of the Crystal Palace, Sydenham’ (1942). Part of the Recording Britain series, the painting is just one of many that was designed to foster a sense of national unity in wartime. #fossil
For #FossilFriday, me and Eric Snively of @OSUVertPaleo performed an FEA test run on the crania of the long-shouted #tyrannosaur, #Qianzhousaurus. The skeletal drawing was based on the artwork by @AshleyPalaeo.
