Palaeoloxodon namadicus is likely the biggest land mammal to exist. I imagine if they existed today, the space between their tusks would be a pretty sweet place to set up a hammock. Just watch out for that trunk, its a tickler.

I've been very quiet here recently because of a final push on post-review edits for LTTAII. I'm nearly there - last round of major edits tonight, and then a final proofread before it's sent off for designing. Am currently adding notes about Dinocrocuta.

This plot in & 's brilliant new paper breaks my heart.

The niches were there for dinosaurs to thrive in the Paleocene...but the asteroid took that chance away from them.

But, it opened those same niches to placental mammals, and here we are!

For day 5 of the Tweet Storm here is an illustration I did for my in-prep book which was also shown during last year exhibit “Picturing the Past”. It is a group of Dimorphodon, one of my favorite pterosaurs. Also because today is

We don’t know much of small creatures who lived with but with the help of paleontologists I came up with two kinds based on known cretaceous fossils who likely were there, along with to include.

Day 4 of the Tweet Storm. Five years ago a paleontologist peered over my shoulder as I worked on this illustration and told me I would do well to consider a career move into Scientific Illustration. So much gratitude for that advice.
