From that time forward, the stegosaurus was greatful that he could spice up his threats & his limited vocabulary.
And Thag Simmons ends up being a kind of Mesozoic celebrity.
A #FossilFriday win-win.

Today's #FossilFriday is quietly dedicated to Thag Simmons. A man who would've been easily ignored by history except for his incredibly high levels of both stupidity & belligerence.
Please ignore the fact that these two species never occupied the Earth at the same time.
These little critters are next! Jurassic Park/World mini dinos series continues! :D

#FossilFriday molar of Gomphotherium hondurensis, a small form from Central America, in El Salvador this animal is known from San Miguel and Morazan dating from the late Miocene (picture is rather old, from my first visits to the MUHNES).
Interesting publication by @ashinonyx et al from a #tarpitsoftheworld site in #Ecuador! Sabertooth #cat #fossils suggest prolonged parental care & unique growth patterns! Open access publication! https://t.co/ByhaUHnD9V #paleontologia #FossilFriday
LES1 is the most complete known for Homo naledi so far. Its morphology holds clues about the life of this #hominin individual that we are still working to understand. #paleoanthropology #FossilFriday
New to the internet #paleoart for #FossilFriday: My take on a Gastornis family for LTTAII. I've posted various WIPs of this over the years, but not the full, final version. You get to decide what happens to the chap in the lower-left corner: there's more than birds in this image.
#FossilFriday 150 million-year-old fossil from the famous Solnhofen lagerstätte offers a rare glimpse into the inner anatomy of an ammonite

#FossilFriday The Cioclovina (Romania) calvaria, dated to c. 33 ka, is one of the earliest modern Europeans. State of the art forensic techniques reveal evidence of interpersonal violence (two incidents of blunt force trauma).

In addition to incorporating #tyrannosaurs for my thesis. I am also incorporating non-tyrannosaur theropods. Here are some of the #theropods that me and Eric Snively of @OSUVertPaleo worked on. 2D FEA models of #Spinosaurus, #Giganotosaurus, and #Tyrannosaurus. #FossilFriday.
More progress on Amurosaurus sculpt. With all the bones done I'm going over some areas to see if I made any mistakes I need to fix. Thanks to @Paleofolk for helping with the braincase. Especially on the base of the crest I was able to make big improvements.

Thank you so much for the support in the last tweet, this is a paleoartwork that I did for a contest on IG: Tepexichthys aranguthyorum from the Tlayúa Formation, Tepexi de Rodríguez, Puebla, Mexico #fossilfriday #fishyfriday #fishsci #paleoart #SundayFishSketch
Paranthropus boisei is one of the best-known fossil #hominin species. Part of a branch that existed for more than 1.5 million years, adults could generate incredible bite force--shown by the huge area for the temporalis muscle. #paleoanthropology #FossilFriday
3. Among the very small number of palaeontologists who might be considered to be the very first, clearly #MaryAnning was the only woman. And she might also be the first. There are so many books and movies telling her story, including a new love story, Ammonite.

Stw 53 is a partial cranium from Sterkfontein, South Africa. Is it early Homo? Australopithecus? Time is ripe for a new reconstruction. #FossilFriday
Here's a work in progress digital sculpt of an Amurosaurus riabinini skull I'm working on. #FossilFriday
First of many Hadrosaur skulls I will be making...
Following my “Novosaurus” book last year, I was recently commissioned to illustrate this little speculative roadrunner-inspired dromaeosaur. #FossilFriday #commissionsopen
What did you think of the first #FossilFriday video? I had a lot of fun chatting about Daspletosaurus. 🦖 Here's a timelapse of the artwork!
I'll be giving all $1+ Patrons the opportunity to vote on the next creature feature! 😁👇
