Cool new article in @CurrentBiology today (https://t.co/czcN7cbCWq) by Krister Smith, @AnjanBhullar, et al. on pineal evolution based on a fossil monitor lizard. I wrote the commentary: https://t.co/xsabNG9u4S. Here's a modded image based on an #OUµCT scan of an extant Varanus.
@JoschuaKnuppe @DustinGrowick TRUE - the closely related Austroatlas lentus was estimated to have possibly reached up to 17 feet tall, although I believe this species is only known from a few fossilized leg bones and part of a sternum.
Another look at my Allosaurus reconstruction for @DinosaurJourney!

#RSOS authors @Val_Fisch et al. are investigating the evolutionary history of polycotylid plesiosaurians through the reinterpretation of the holotype specimen of Thililua longicollis, and clarify its cranial anatomy #FossilFriday https://t.co/v8pjNZQXKx
we love this cross-section of Cordaianthus Penjoni from DH Scott's Studies in fossil #Botany 1909

#FossilFriday March 23, 1769 marks the birthday of pioneering stratigrapher William Smith, who is credited creating the 1st true geological map & introducing the concept of index fossils to distinguish sedimentary layers https://t.co/2WGVnh9FJM
Alcione was recently found in a treasure trove of #pterosaur fossils in Morocco. #science #fossils https://t.co/f1r95xrP2L
On this, the eve of St. Patrick's Day, I only want to remind you that our distant relatives, Dimetrodon and Sphenacodon (Permian synapsids) had appropriately-shaped tooth roots in cross-section...
Should have the colour balance issue fixed by next week. #FossilFriday
#FossilFriday New and revised reconstruction of Utahraptor ostrommaysorum. Due to how successful my print sale was I MAY offer limited edition prints of Dromaeosaurid #dinosaurs. All revised versions and including new species! Let me know if interested #paleoart
More happy fossil hunters from our #DeepHistoryCoast workshop - this time it's year 6 from @AshwickenSchool! #Learning
i’m feeling super rusty so doodled some BFs (Bfossil Fboys)
I'll be attending a talk about this find tonight at @DinosaurJourney!

#Protostega was a giant marine #turtle that lived in the ancient seas that covered the middle of N America abt 83 million yrs ago. It is 1 of many awesome #fossil beasts I've made #paleoart of in collab w @Mosasaurologist for the traveling exhibit #SavageAncientSeas #FossilFriday
Sneak preview of new family backpack launching soon! Join fossil hunters Mary Anning @Lottie_dolls for a palaeontology adventure. Funded by @LOreal_UKI Ambassor Fund for #WomenInScience

Look at all the fossils found by year 1 from Magdalen Gates Primary as part of our #DeepHistoryCoast Fossil Hunter workshop! #HappyFaces #Learning @visitnorfolk @NorthNorfolkDC @northnorfolknow
This is the oldest fossilised evidence for a lizard-like behaviour where an animal drops a portion of their tail in response to an attack by a predator, known as caudal autotomy. Neat! https://t.co/5COIVAmtUw via @SciReports
For #FossilFriday, a quick poll: which of these pterosaur images would you rather see in Life through the Ages II: Nyctosaurus or Hatzegopteryx? Both are awesome species, and I only have one pterosaur slot.
