Pterosaurs had FEATHERS!?! In a 🌟NEW🌟 study released in @nature: Ecology and Evolution today shows that two anurognathid #pterosaur fossils found in China had primitive feathers to help keep them warm just like many #dinosaurs.

DAY 12: Fave Rock Type: Archen!
I relate to this chaotic fossil #Pokémon #Pokecember
No. 138: Omanyte
Spiral Pokémon
It was restored from an ancient fossil. Those Helix Fossils are excavated from areas that were once oceans long, long ago.
Bummed that the fossil exhibit at the Smithsonian was mostly closed!
The members of Carcharodontosauridae that I've illustrated so far! Love these beasts.
Cheers, folks!

7. People ask why the bones of @SUEtheTrex are colored reddish brown. This is the result of iron and iron oxide entering the bones turning the skeleton into fossilized bone. This indicates that Sue’s corpse was near a body of water. #FossilFriday #FactsAboutSue #Tyrannosaurus
For #FossilFriday, here's a sneak peek at the #paleoart I'll be exhibiting at the free #PopPalaeo public evening event on Dec 18th. Register here if you want to turn up: https://t.co/dama3O0doV. Art shows juv Gastoris, juv Tyrannosaurus, a Miocene vulture, and Rebellatrix.
Happy #theropodthursday! Enjoy this gorgeous piece by our featured paleoartist, Raven Amos. @alaskanime creates #paleoart with vivid colors! Learn more about her and visit her digital art gallery here: https://t.co/943TiXuXTb #paleontology #fossils #NaturalHistory
This is Mammut americanum, better known as the American #mastodon. It is the best-known species of the genus Mammut, and one of the best-known and most popular of Cenozoic animals. #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #scientificillustration #fossils #paleo
october 5 2018. pixel heads! commissions for brutallus and digi-fossil on tumblr, and then a just for fun one for me of pumpkin.
Yet another #pterosaur named by famous paleontologist Harry Seeley, Ornithostoma hails from the Early Cretaceous Cambridge Greensand Formation. #science #fossils https://t.co/4OxXZI6kLR
#Fanart of #Carracosta. I hope they make a jurassic park type dealie in Pokemon someday, I feel like reviving fossils to populate a park (instead of just handing 'em over to a person at a desk) would be a lotta fun. #pokemon #fossilpokemon
Sad little fossilized flower dinosaur😢

Loganellia, a jawless thelodont w/ a square body & distinctive covering of spiny scales (that I prolly made too large). Gave it a coloration befitting its likely habitat of shallow coastal waters or reefs. #paleoart #paleontology #fossils #sciart #scientificillustration
