5. For #FossilFriday here’s our first #abelisaurid for #TheSummerOfTheropods, #Majungasaurus, the “Mahajanga lizard” from Madagascar of the Cretaceous period. It’s also become probably one of my favorite theropods. Artwork by @SerpenIllus
Ferocious #FossilFriday! Let me introduce you to the Late Miocene North American Eucyon ferox (previously Canis ferox), here in a wonderful #reconstruction by @FlaviaStrani.
Wanna know what its #diet was?
Read it in the work by me and Prof. Rook:

inspired by a tweet of @JaimeHeadden, for #FossilFriday i show you the predentary of Gryposaurus notabilis MSNM V345. The skeleton was found in DPP, and moved in Italy more than 70 years ago. The predentary shows an enigmatic internal cavity we hypothesized to be pathological...
Pterosaur #fossil of a species of ostentatiously crested prehistoric flying reptile (previously found in China & Brazil) has been discovered in the UK (#IsleofWight) for 1st time

Time for #FossilFriday! We like to think of tooth replacement as a tidy process. But here are 4 cross sections of jaws that show chunks of older teeth that were left behind in the bone! Happens a lot in animals that continually replace their teeth, like these extinct synapsids.
#FossilFriday 🇧🇴This tiny interathere #notoungulate jaw from #Bolivia is now the holotype of a #newspecies, Juchuysillu ("small hoof" in Quechua) arenalesensis (the fossil site). Reconstruction by @VelizarSim w. a mesothere notoungulate behind it. Published in @ameghiniana
For #FossilFriday (and to coincide with the 10th anniversary of @MuseumofNature's VMMB re-opening), here's the holotype foot of the ornithomimid #dinosaur Struthiomimus altus from the CMN collections, alongside images from Lambe's 1902 description of the specimen.

Here’s another early piece of mine, a postosuchus in morning light #fossilfriday #paleoart #triassic
#FossilFriday Branneroceras, a Late Carboniferous goniatite. Part of a large block of limestone packed with this ammonoid on display at the NIGPAS museum in Nanjing.
Here’s a WIP because it’s #FossilFriday and #DinosaurDay!
A fun #paleoart comparison for #FossilFriday: Pterodactylus restored by Jean Hermann in 1800 vs. Pterodactylus restored by me, 220 years later. Hermann's pterosaur is the oldest known 'legit' piece of palaeoart - a fossil-based life reconstruction based on science, not mythology.
The awesome skull of the Brontothere, Megacerops. Distantly related to horses and rhinos, this beast lived in North America around 35 million years ago! #FossilFriday
