Happy #FossilFriday! Tyrannosaurs were hotheaded - read all about this recent @JurassicFDN-supported research here: https://t.co/1BfSeCecCz
Protoceratops box art I illustrated for @wildpast_studio's figurine! #FossilFriday
Today for #FossilFriday we have a VERY rare specimen. A Parapeytoia yunnanensis appendage. These species’ classification is argued in the paleo community between being an Anomalocariid and a Megacheira. Picture 4 shows the possibly morphology of each classification.
Results from the #paleostream
Hoffstetteria, Nigersaurus, Dimetrodon teutonis (christmas edition) and Saurorhynchus.

"Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis" (1846) describes Indian fossil collections made by paleontologists Hugh Falconer and Proby Cautley in the 19th century. @amjukar explains how publications like this are important for modern research ➡️ https://t.co/mfJ16uhs37 #FossilFriday
This is a small reconstruction of Tianyulong confuciusi, an heterodontosaurid from Late Jurassic China, for my in-prep book. Some basal ornithischian dinosaurs are known to have been fuzzy... some could have been VERY fuzzy! #FossilFriday #paleoart #sciart #dinosaur
To help us forget about politics, here's some #FossilFriday Rhamphorhynchus muensteri #paleoart. The 3 big animals are based on the largest known (1.8 m wingspan) muensteri specimen, which was once thought to be a unique species. Turns out it's just a really large adult.
Type specimens of Australopithecus africanus/prometheus (yellow endocast) and Homo naledi (blue). Similar brain size/shape between very distinct species #FossilFriday
For #FossilFriday, here's a private #paleoart commission of Tiktaalik I completed earlier this year. It took some time to get the body shape right as there's lots of subtle nuances to tetrapodomorph anatomy. They weren't just gars with funky heads and limbs.
Results from the #paleostream!
Lajasvenator, Helodermoides, Squatinactis and Mimodactylus

Découvert ≈ en 1880 en 🏴 et nommé en 1887.
Du latin "loricatus" : cuirassé. Ses os ont également été trouvés en 🇫🇷, en Normandie !
C'est un stégosaure de 5m qui vivait au #Jurassique, il y a ≈165 Ma.

Today is #FossilFriday and a new pterosaur species comes to light! Welcome to #Mimodactylus libanensis. Follow here our publication in @SciReports: https://t.co/iSAKySWsDc
Hope everyone got to save the turkey’s wishbone yesterday? Theropod dinosaurs like #Tyrannosaurus also have a wishbone or furcula. You can see the furcula that’s present on @SUEtheTrex of @FieldMuseum
for #FossilFriday.
Crater Fossils from Brazil from 110 million years ago. These fly specimens are amazing & are part of the impressive @AMNH fossil insect collection behind the scenes, which is actively being worked on & developed thanks to David Grimaldi & co-workers #FossilFriday #flyfriday
UPDATE: SUE: Welcome to the World of Tyrannosaurus Rex will, at last, be on store shelves next week! #FossilFriday @SUEtheTrex @FieldMuseum @TedRechlin

For #FossilFriday, here's my 2017 #paleoart of the largest known ape, Gigantopithecus blacki, as featured in the Palaeoartist's Handbook and my upcoming book, Life Through the Ages II. It's sharing the scene with a Homo erectus.
