Yes I'm still tooting my own horn for naming a new species - who wouldn't?!
Sharing my favorite element for from the Parocnus dominicanus holotype (MHD 237), this nearly complete pelvis. Sloth pelvii are extremely hard to find whole, so this specimen is special!

The fossilized remains of Xiphactinus, an extinct genus of large (up to 5.1 metre) predatory marine bony fish that lived during the Late Cretaceous. When alive, the fish would have resembled a gargantuan, fanged tarpon (to which it was, however, not related).

Two of the 3D reconstructions I did for , arranged together in one shot. Trix the might be a bit too ambitious going after a nearly adult but it sure makes for a dramatic pose 😅😁

The amazingly unique and weird skull of Rusingoryx!

The nasal passage and the sinuses (coloured) are completely empty and full of air. This antelope would have made trumpeting sounds like some dinosaurs!!!

Happy

In this week’s new video, we delve into the possible link between fossils and folklore.

We also take a detailed look at the famous in-game dragon skeletons to try and work out how they may have evolved!

Some fresh artwork I whipped up for Ali's new Biarmosuchian ontogeny paper (https://t.co/CigDXJfK2T)

Oh how I love therapsids :3

I wanted an organic way of contrasting the simple skulls of the baby biarmosuchians with the knobby adult skulls.
Enjoy!

Some moa (Dinornis) from 2018 for Note the extreme sexual dimorphism of the two frontmost birds: that's real, not speculative. And no, I don't know what's happening to the right of this image. Possibly someone just opened a really big bag of birdseed.

This we move to Brazil to present Luzia (Lapa Vermelha IV Hominid 1), an 11.5kyo partial skeleton. Discovered in 1974 by A. Laming-Emperaire, its nickname is a direct reference to... the 'Lucy' nickname of AL-288-1 found the same year!
