I decided to #SundayFishSketch a #Xiphactinus, originally discovered in the 1850s here in Kansas. This giant marine predator is from the Cretaceous, and we have a beautiful fossil here at the @KUBiodiversity Institute. #sciart #watercolor #paleoart

From @HMNS, nicknamed “Jurassic Mom,” an ichthyosaur (Stenopterygius) fossilized with 7 unborn offspring, found in Holzmaden— a not-so-uncommon occurrence in that region. This was, by far, my fave specimen at this awesome museum. Visit if you’re in Houston! 👍🏻 #FossilFriday
Megatherium is an extinct species of giant ground sloth. Charles Darwin Collected several fossils relating to Megatherium while exploring South America on the Voyage of the Beagle. (2/5) #SomethingBig #Museum30
@mark_carnall Last week we brought you snails that attach stuff to their shells. Today we give you a newly-discovered fossil green lacewing larva that attached soil to its body as an act of camouflage 130 million years ago.

Congrats to our research associate Jessie Atterholt & colleagues on their @thePeerJ paper naming a Mirarce, a fossil bird that lived in Utah around 75 million years ago! https://t.co/h1mus3xSMv (art by @GreyGriffon)
Last nights efforts of a facial reconstruction of early homo sapien fossil found Kenya. The fossil was dated to 10,000 years ago. Can't wait to add the skin. #facialrecognition #medicalart #forensicart #hominids
One of my biggest "paleoart pet peeves" is when trilobites are reconstructed as if someone just dropped their chocolate-brown fossils right onto the seafloor. If living arthropods are any indication, they were likely very diverse in color and patterning! #paleoart

For #FossilFriday: the slide that started our paper in Proc B! A jaw cross-section of a therapsid shows some teeth fused in place and others suspended in sockets. That's because they are two stages in the lifecycle of a typical tooth! Mammals keep teeth in the "earlier" stage.
Another great coloring on my #twitchstream last night: a snapshot from Leonardo Da Vinci's childhood, discovering an ancient whale skeleton in a cave!
Inspired by a story written by fellow #scbwi member Kate Lynch.

#DrawDinovember Day 9 #Edmontosaurus. This Hadrosaurid (duck billed dino) was a cretaceous herbivore which walked on both 2 and 4 legs. The first fossil was found in Alberta (so named after its capital Edmonton). #art #dailyart #digitalart #Dinovember
"Lithographica" is a vintage-style depiction of some of the biodiversity of the Solnhofen Limestone, a bountiful fossil formation in Germany. I wanted to show what a naturalist might have seen walking amongst the islands and lagoons of Jurassic Europe.
Found in Cretaceous rocks in Romania in the 1980s, Eurolimnornis was originally thought to be a bird. #science #fossils #pterosaur https://t.co/1znPjEtR5m
