Fossil plants are an informative and super cool topic for artists, and it really helps when paleoartists put time in to communicate paleobotany so other artists can improve their work. Big thanks to for her informative 2014 blog on DPF fossil plants

musings related to my current research. In living archosaurs epiphyseal cartilages can extend limb bone length from between less than 1% to more than 10%! This has big implications for our modelling of joint kinematics and how we interpet plausible ranges of motion.

First collaboration with 🇨🇳 colleagues and students. 😊
We named it after where it was found. In China, they call it 彩云之南 "the South of colorful clouds" (hence the latin 'iris'). It's very poetic.

Los gliptodontes fueron animales particulares. Su cerebro era muy pequeño para su tamaño y en comparación, su cerebelo era grande. Quizás un cerebro grande no era necesario para defenderse o pesaba mucho. Y el gran cerebelo podría ser útil para mover esa pesada cola

we use lasers to vaporize small amounts of enamel from fossil teeth (like this troodontid allowing the released gases to be analyzed for their chemical composition?

This can reveal info about the diet, habitat, and physiology of extinct animals.
