i no longer thought of sun, moon, and stars, trees, houses, and towns, nor of any of those terrestrial superfluities which are necessaries of men who live upon the earth's surface. being fossils, we looked upon all those things as mere jokes.
The discovery of the MLD 18 #hominin mandible in 1953 followed the sorting and movement of more than 5000 tons of miners' dump material. The fossil comes from one of the older adult individuals known for Australopithecus africanus. #paleoanthropology
@pastelnoivern oo a fossil fighters fan!! uraptor from the third game would look good, or tarbo or acro from the first!
@supertoastymutt Fossil is a adorable little lad, I love his sense of style and he looks pretty rad. Do you think he can be friends with this dude perhaps?
#fossilfighters So I found out that the red panda is considered a living fossil...
The next step was obvious: I finally made a vivosaur. #248 - Luru (Pristinailurus)
Also here’s Rhia who has one of her own, named Lotus 😍
#LagerstatteoftheWeek Juveniles of the ancient shark-relative, Bandringa, are found in the Mazon Creek concretions. The lack of adults and dominance of youngsters and egg cases suggest the area served as a nursery.

Someone said #SciArtTweetStorm? Well howdy, I like drawing animals. Since it's also #FossilFriday enjoy these reconstructed dead things.
Hey, I totally forgot I was posting these old postcard drawings! Also, apologies for repeatedly abandoning this account. Anyway, here's Augustynolophus (state fossil of CA), with halfway decent colouring and anatomy for a change!
While #manatees are the only group of sirenians that invaded freshwater habitats, in odontocetes it has happened multiple times. In the Pebas Mega-Wetland System we find platanistoids and iniids. Map from @PeruvianWhale et al (2020) https://t.co/EcTyazFCIC

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)
Unpeeled Fossil. That is the joke.
Enjoy the rest of your April first!

When #RivalsOfAether first announced the steam workshop I got so hyped and wanted to make a character.... then immediately abandoned the idea and moved on to something else. I wanted to do a snowball monkey in a little coat, or a magma mammoth fossil. #pixelart
