Ugh, still no time for social media thanks to a manic workload. Here's some driveby of the Brazilian spinosaurid Irritator predating pterosaurs, from 2018, to keep my feed from drying up entirely.

Work In Progress. A big carcass always attracts a lot of carnivores looking for an easy meal. Detail of a larger and complicated piece that I plan/HAVE to finish today. There are still soooo many things to finish 😅

A salute to ichthyosaurs this splendid beasts that I've had an excuse to restore several times recently. Marine reptiles are really fun to draw and these have been a blast to work on. Here's Temnodontosaurus, Ichthyosaurus, Shonisaurus and Leptonectes.

Seeing some peeps doing a carboniferous art week, I happen to be working on a carboniferous animation practice, still drawing out the pieces

SMIL-ing through the pain? A specimen of the Triassic phytosaur shows evidence of extensive bone fractures and healing consistent with In this diagram, all the indicated bones had some kind of fracture!

The 1959 discovery of the OH 5 skull led to the first K-Ar age determination of sediments at Olduvai by Garniss Curtiss. Finding them to be 1.75 Ma—triple the expected age—he wrote: "One thing is certain. Olduvai Man is old, old, old!"

I’m going to take a hiatus for a little while this summer (maybe I’ll get to take some more new pictures of fossils!), so I’m leaving you with one of my favorite Haya griva skulls...

Stw 53: Homo or not Homo? Some digital reconstructions from my lounge room that probably do not shed light on this question!

Cool thread on the Majungasaurus from Madagascar. Known from several good specimens, its ornamented skull caused some fragments to be mistaken for a pachycephalosaur.
