Half a dozen little feathery future-dinosaurs flapping their way into this week’s #FossilFriday
Its been a while, but here the results from the #paleostream!
Manidens, Iberodactylus (new taxon), Prolibytherium and Titanichthys, giving birth.

I hear there's a new #artmeme going around, good thing I have a new sauropod! #oldmiddlenew Feat. Euhelopus (2017), Patagotitan (2018) and Camarasaurus (yesterday) 🦕

Here's the head, featuring a crest-type thing. #Camarasaurus

Camarasaurus lentus, one of the most common and well-known sauropod dinosaurs. Probably not much to say that you don't already know. #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #scientificillustration #fossilfriday #dinosaur
Happy #FossilFriday! Today's featured @JurassicFDN-supported research is about the brain of the Patagonian theropod Murusraptor! Read all about it here: https://t.co/29V5qU2E9h
It’s #FossilFriday and here is a WIP I’m working on of a Proterosuchus which just captured a young Lystrosaurus at an Early Triassic, South African river bank. Will it consume it in the water or on land? Many details to be refined but it is getting there. #paleoart #sciart
Great paper (https://t.co/maF9IARGHk) on the inner skull cavities of #eusuchian #crocodyliforms from the upper #Cretaceous 🐊Find one of the extant comparative specimens here: https://t.co/LB43OHCKrp #FossilFriday #crocodiles #skull #microCT @inarvaezp @PalaeoStephan @frco_ortega
The lower right postcanine tooth of Stereognathus, & #ctscan of same tooth, from #IsleofSkye. These gorgeous chompers pepper the Middle #Jurassic rock of #Skye & parts of England. #Stereognathus belongs to the #tritylodontids, close mammal relatives #FossilFriday #cynodonts
For #FossilFriday I am opening a thread about Early Triassic tetrapod faunal assemblages. After the Permian extinction, terrestrial faunal assemblages were depauperate and most were very similar in composition. Temnospondyls were quick to diversify #paleoart #sciart #scicomm
Learning how to draw (and eventually color) Pentaceratops for #fossilfriday
Thank you guys at @frontierdev for @JW_Evolution . While I didn't exclusively use the in-game pentaceratops as reference, it helped me do some life drawing! And I may have added the volcano in!
For a short time, during the earliest Triassic, some parts of the world belonged to the #therocephalians. Here for #FossilFriday I have reconstructed the large-sized Moschorhinus. It is defending its recent kill, a Lystrosaurus, from a group of Tetracynodon #paleoart #sciart
For #FossilFriday, here's 2016 #paleoart of Spinolestes, an exceptionally well-known Cretaceous mammal from Spain. We know a lot about its skin and fur (except on the tail - the bushiness shown here is speculation) and also the shape of its ear pinnae, which makes me very happy.
Ammonite from a (mud) beach in Somerset... beautiful iridescence, but quite fragile #FossilFriday
Spending my #FossilFriday with Hyopsodus! These little monsters were especially abundant in the animal communities you'd come across if you were roaming around Wyoming 48 million years ago
Mark P. Witton explores the ecological roles of Pterosaurs, aided by a growing body of fossil evidence for their dietary preferences and roles as food sources for other species...read more here https://t.co/I25JTiosbF

The pupils of living cephalopods can range from circles, to rectangles, to more complex "W" shapes. Here, I've gone with a totally speculative "lute" shape, just for kicks. Happy #FossilFriday everybody! Have a great weekend #paleoart #Nipponites #ammonite #cephalopod #sciart
