#DinosaurDay : des #fossiles de #dinosaures ont été découverts dans le monde entier, même au Groenland et en Antarctique !
Les plus vieux ont 230 Ma et ont été mis au jour en Argentine.
Les plus jeunes (sans compter les oiseaux) ont 66 Ma et ont été trouvés aux États-Unis.
here's my #gymleadersona
they're a rock type trainer with an affinity for fossil pokemon and spends all their time mining 🦖🦕 fight them and get the bone(r)badge
For #FossilFriday, here's some #paleoart of the British wukongopterid Cuspicephalus boldly facing a blustery day. Note that 'boldly' meant 'cowering behind quillworts' in the Jurassic.
Famous British paleontologist Richard Owen mistakenly identified Lonchodectes as Pterodactylus way back in 1851. This seems to have happened a lot. #pterosaur #fossils #science https://t.co/93epUzaQtU
Sue is the largest, most extensive & best preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex specimen ever found at over 90% recovered. It was discovered in August 1990, by Sue Hendrickson, & is named after her. The fossil was auctioned for $8.3 million, the most ever paid for a fossil. #FossilFriday
a quick #gymleadersona !! She focuses on rock types, particularly fossil Pokémon
Yay, finished! Subfossil lemurs, some of these giants still walked around as recent as 500 years ago. Pictured are the Babakotia (sloth lemur), Megaladapis (koala lemur), Archaeoindris (gorilla lemur) and Hadropithecus (monkey lemur). ring-tailed lemur for scale. #madagascar
Since fossils don't preserve soft tissue, it's hard to tell what dinosaurs might have looked like. Many artists just leave off possible feathers, quills and skin flaps. But if we drew modern animals the same way - well, baboons might look like this. 🖼️: https://t.co/kmWy3LBW5J
Lepidodendron: or 'the scale tree" was a genus of primitive, vascular, tree-like plant related to the club mosses. They reached heights of over 30m (100 ft), with trunks over 1m (3.3 ft) in diameter. They thrived between 359-299 MYA. #FossilFriday #ArborDay
Hanging with the most complete skull of #Daeodon at @UNLincoln's paleontology collection while at #AMMP11. Found at @AgateFossilBeds, this massive #entelodont had canines the size of soda cans. This is, hands down, my favorite mammal fossil ever!

Every time someone tells me “crocodiles are living fossils, they have never changed in millions of years” I go and reconstruct one of the MANY odd looking pseudosuchians (croc-line archosaurs) that will appear in my book #paleoart #pseudosuchians

Fish fact: The earliest relatively-complete fish fossils date around 470 million years ago. Here are artist renditions of Arandaspis from Australia (470my old) and Sacabambaspis (450my) from Bolivia. Both are armored jawless fishes.
I am so mad at the third #fossilfighters game bc just,,, LOOK AT THIS ITS SO CLUTTERED!!! All of my fav dinos were turned into monstrosities that just come off as creepy, with REALLY WEIRD REALISTIC SCALES AND BAD SHADING
No help from anyone… a mother found a little hole, so she decided to hide her son, at least he would be safe from Red Dragon’s fury (many years later, he become the fossil that shown in Dino-sour cookie’s treasure)
