The archaeological record of Flores shows that Homo floresiensis must have been a highly competent stone tool maker and user. The tools left by this #hominin show that large brains and humanlike wrists are not essential to technology #paleoanthropology #FossilFriday
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.
#FossilFriday The Zeeland Ridge Neanderthal was discovered in sediments extracted from the bottom of the North Sea. This is the first Pleistocene fossil hominin found under seawater. The partial frontal bone shows a lesion caused by an epidermoid cyst.

A hint of the social behavior of early Homo erectus comes from the earliest known #hominin to survive with near total loss of teeth, 1.8 million years ago. Some wild primates also survive years with little functional dentition. #paleoanthropology #FossilFriday
Tylosaurus proriger could grow to more than 45 ft in length and tipped the scales at over 2,000 lbs. This massive predator hunted everything from seabirds to sharks in the Cretaceous seas. #FossilFriday
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
Someone said #SciArtTweetStorm? Well howdy, I like drawing animals. Since it's also #FossilFriday enjoy these reconstructed dead things.
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

The Scottish Silurian eurypterid Slimonia for #FossilFriday!
This specimen is a molt and shows the head shield which has been displaced from the appendages underneath. They include the chelicera (marked in green), pedipalp (blue), walking legs (orange) and paddle (red)!

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)

Halisaurus is an extinct genus of marine reptile belonging to the #mosasaur family. Happy #FossilFriday #MosasaurWeek #paleoart
Finally, a new blog post, just in time for #FossilFriday: is there any real link between dinosaurs and Chinese dragon mythology? We actually know a heck of a lot about Chinese 'dragon bones' and they aren't - dramatic pause - dinosaur flavoured.

Turiasaurs may be be the dominant sauropods in the Neocomian Yellow Cat Mbr. of Cedar Mt. Fm. Moabosaurus is the dominant dino at Utahraptor State Park. #FossilFriday
