#FossilFriday announcement: I'm doing a new digital series through the @DinosaurMuseum! Called CENTRUM: A Paleo Roundtable, see what questions some of paleontology’s tops minds ask when the tables are turned and they get to interview one another. (more info below)

For #FossilFriday, I’ll conclude my #PaleoartInMyHouse tour with one of my prized possessions- an original oil painting of Wendiceratops by Mike Skrepnick. Collecting & describing this horned dino is a highlight of my career so far. Honored to have this hanging in my home office.
It's chucking it down here on this #FossilFriday, so here's some #paleoart of the plotopterid Copepteryx getting rained on. Plotopterids were a group of Eo-Miocene penguin-like birds that lived in the Northern Hemisphere. Some grew quite large - about the height of a human.
Meet 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘭𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘪, a tiny, newly described #mustelid and the earliest known from North America. This discovery sheds light on mustelid #evolution and #ecology in the Oligocene. #fossilfriday
Out now in our April issue! https://t.co/uq7vJMkh69
Anurognathus, small, big eyed Pterosaur from the Upper Jurassic. A watercolour commission for @bridgebyapool! #FossilFriday
Quick watercolours I’m not the happiest with - but going to share them with you anyway. An anurognathid and Bellubrunnus. Coeval creatures of diminutive size #FossilFriday

A quick study of a basal sauropodomorph skull lying on a desert during the Late Triassic! #FossilFriday
Happy #FossilFriday ! Here’s last nights procreate sketch of a Spiclypeus skull, ( spiked shield ) an extinct genus of chasmosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous.

For #FossilFriday, here's #paleoart of two giant flying birds: Pelagornis and Teratornis. Pelagornis was the largest flying bird of all time, out-spanning even the largest teratorns (those early 8 m wingspan Argentavis estimates were over-enthusiastic).
The Tully Monster aka Tullimonstrum, what a weirdo #paleoart #FossilFriday

A recent discovery of a Paranthropus robustus cranium (notice the sagittal crest) at the Drimolen site in South Africa confirms that species of Austalopithecus, Paranthropus, and early Homo overlapped in South Africa ~2mil years ago DOI: 10.1126/science.aaw7293

I'm late for #FossilFriday, but better late than never, right? Here's some #paleoart of Cimoliopterus, one of the last of the toothed pterosaurs. The genus seems to have been widespread, occurring in both Britain and the United States.
For #FossilFriday I give you Peronopsis, a 506 million year old agnostinid #arthropod from the #BurgessShale, complete with intricately-preserved branching tubes of its digestive tract!

One of the cooler fossils we’ve found in #Zambia. A slice through the backbone of an armored pareiasaur, you’re seeing the vertebrae with the osteoderms ‘floating’ in the rock above. #FossilFriday . Art by Bogdanov. #NorthLuangwaNP

Little contribution to #FossilFriday , a paloart study of a Styracosaurus skull. Continuing the deep dive of ceratopsian Dinosaurs.
Hoo hoot! Oh, several things, I see! Let's take a look, shall we...?
