Right now, on sale, these fine specimens for auction on Christie's (closing in 4 days). The same auction house is also trading these creepy copy-paste ape nfts. It's weird to see bad jpegs & priceless fossils being treated as same financial commodities.
Thrilled to have this new article in @AnatRecord out today! Aetosaur brain endocasts w/ great collaborators led by Belén von Baczko & Julia Desojo. #Paleoart by @victorleshyk
Ryan Ridgely & I first scanned these @ucmpberkeley fossils many yrs ago—glad to finally get this out!

Caudipteryx fossil cartilage provides evidence of organic molecule preservation at a cellular and nuclear level. One step closer to dinosaur DNA? Probably not... #dinosaurfossils #caudipteryx
Beaked dinosaur fossils did not "inspire" the #Griffin of classical antiquity
but descriptions & observations may have confirmed & helped to perpetuate the story of a fierce mammal w beak lurking in Central Asian deserts in a specific time period ca 650 BC -AD 300

O is for Ornithosuchus, a distant croc-relative from the Triassic of Scotland. It may have been a facultative biped, meaning it could walk on two legs, but it could also walk on all fours. #AtoZcrocs #Croctober #fossils

N is for Notosuchus, a terrestrial crocodyliform with heterodont dentition from the Cretaceous of Argentina. It’s possible this croc was omnivorous or maybe even herbivorous. #AtoZcrocs #Croctober #fossils

The fossils “Chief dragon” in Wales are UK's oldest Triassic meat-eating dinosaur.
There are many bizarre creatures in the Triassic. @Nigelmarven's adventures can enjoy the most deadly sea tours.

The fossils were initially thought to belong to one of the largest flying reptiles ever known, Quetzalcoatlus. In 2019, researchers recognized it as a new species, and named it Cryodrakon boreas, ‘cold dragon of the north winds.’ Art © Gabriel Ugueto @SerpenIllus
[HOT] [OC] I drew the Galarian Fossils complete forms [https://t.co/eNhfkY5Fst]
Heres the Galarian fossils as their full forms :) Atleast my interpretation of it! If you wanna see the process here is the video I made~ I love drawing Pokemon xD

As fragmentary as it is, Siamosaurus has a surprisingly rich history in research and palaeoart. Right now it's in a bit of a limbo state until better fossils are found, but hopefully it'll earn its place as a definitively valid spinosaur.

@Kalinius_ @arvalis @PressPauseCont @papagaeio @nameshiv Open areas would have been covered by other types of plants, yes. We actually have one site from the Late Cretaceous where a volcanic flow preserved a bunch of open areas in full detail. Here are some reconstructions of that site by Mary Parrish, and some of the fossils.
Johann Friedrich Esper, German physician & paleontologist who discovered the bones of an extinct species of cave bear (Ursus spelaeus, whose jaw is shown below) in a Bavarian cave, is @LindaHall_org's #ScientistOfTheDay.

@bug2go I'm sorry to hear your day is going bad, but things always get better! Here's my critter Taako(he/they/creature) They're undead and they have a rock collection with some fossils included! They could probably tell you all sorts of cool rock facts!!
