I've just finished a couple more #palaeobotanical illustrations; an #Araucariostrobus (bar 10mm) and an #Araucaria (bar 20mm). These are based on cone specimens presented in Kunzmann et al, 2004, from the Crato Formation.

For #FossilFriday, me and Eric Snively of @OSUVertPaleo performed an FEA test run on the crania of the long-shouted #tyrannosaur, #Qianzhousaurus. The skeletal drawing was based on the artwork by @AshleyPalaeo.
The Amud 1 skull was one of the first that I chose when I started drawing fossils more than 25 years ago. Today this ancient individual is more scientifically interesting than ever, at an ancient epicenter of population mixture. #FossilFriday #hominin #paleoanthropology

Let sleeping Gorgonops lie (unless you wanna get chomped). I’ve been meaning to draw more of these Permian therapsids and today seemed like a good a time as any. #FossilFriday
After hearing about the new cretaceous compsognathid on the block I immediately had to doodle it.
Ubirajara jubatus sports some pretty weird filaments, probably for display.
Tried to somewhat evoke the style of old bird illustrations.

#FossilFriday The Holotype of Hyolithes baconi from the Ordovician Trenton Fm. in Rock County, WI. Hyolitha is a particularly enigmatic group, but was recently classified as a lophophorate, making it closely related to brachiopods. Type Collection @ucmpberkeley
Anomolacarids are now called radiodonts, but Anomolacaris is still among the largest ones we know. The Apex predator of his day would be little more than a kitten in the oceans of today ... little more than a snack.

A #sea #urchin from the #Jurassic seas, found at Curtis's Pit, Radley. Only the hard shell of the body has fossilised, the spines have been lost. #FossilFriday #museumadvent #abingdon #oxfordshire #fossils #OxonCulture
#GetYourArtUnderwater #fossilfriday since last time I shared an unfinished piece (the mangrove one now finished) I’ll share another this time my old dunkleosteus I started while volunteering @CMNHvertpaleo
#FossilFriday A new study on one individual of Parasaurolophus finds that it must have suffered some serious (yet healing) injuries to the ribs, hip, and face. The paper has some great discussion about reconstructing the necks of hadrosaurs [🎨: Marco Auditore, Marzio Mereggia]
Some #paleoart love for Deinocheirus this #FossilFriday, depicted with sparse feathering (on account of its size) and a sail rather than a hump (there's no reason to think Deinocheirus had a camel-like fat store: Deinocheirus humps are an art meme, not a hypothesis).

By gum, it's 19:35 on #FossilFriday: time to call it a day. Here's some 2016 #paleoart of the Cretaceous mammal Spinolestes to sign off for the weekend with. The fluffy tails are speculative, but the other soft-tissues are evidenced by fossil data.
