Finally, for #FossilFriday here is my reconstruction of the fossil site Artazu VIII (Basque Country) for the Ph.D. Thesis of @aitziber_suarez: Coelodonta antiquitatis and Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax.
#FossilFriday Here’s a fun one: A Saurolophus (duckbill) footprint found in Mongolia contained the crushed skull of a Tarbosaurus (relative of T.rex).

Results from the #paleostream! Lufengosaurus (NOT WITH HAIR and far more interesting than you imagine!) Protuberum (yes, it is weird), and Sinemys... in an unfortunate position. #paleoart #sciart #fossilfriday #dinosaurs
Your periodic reminder that all good data we have on giant pterosaur anatomy and biomechanics points to well developed flight capabilities, even though they were the size of giraffes.

For #FossilFriday: #paleoart of Protoceratops. This animal is often said to be the inspiration for griffins: though a popular idea, it's not compelling on account of ignoring a lot of historic, anatomical and geographic data. For more details, check out: https://t.co/xTq4pElHVL
Results from the first #paleostream of the new year! Dakosaurus, Arthurdactylus, Talpanas (the mole duck)...

@mark_carnall Bit late in the day but since it's #FossilFriday here's number 7 in our #Top9 blog posts of 2018: @museumsmithery reveals some impressive detective work by @wmgwarwick on the jaw of the first scientifically described dinosaur - Megalosaurus bucklandii.

For #FossilFriday, here's a walrus posing for a holiday snap during a busy day in Pleistocene Doggerland (a landmass now under the north sea). The walrus is our modern species, but most of the other species are extinct. #paleoart

The members of Carcharodontosauridae that I've illustrated so far! Love these beasts.
Cheers, folks!

7. People ask why the bones of @SUEtheTrex are colored reddish brown. This is the result of iron and iron oxide entering the bones turning the skeleton into fossilized bone. This indicates that Sue’s corpse was near a body of water. #FossilFriday #FactsAboutSue #Tyrannosaurus
For #FossilFriday, here's a sneak peek at the #paleoart I'll be exhibiting at the free #PopPalaeo public evening event on Dec 18th. Register here if you want to turn up: https://t.co/dama3O0doV. Art shows juv Gastoris, juv Tyrannosaurus, a Miocene vulture, and Rebellatrix.

As expected I couldn’t stop thinking about the newly described GIANT dicynodont Lisowicia, and started sketching. I imagined a couple of them on an tranquil Triassic afternoon surrounded by coelophysioid dinosaurs and probably a large temnospondyl #paleoart #sciart #FossilFriday
Darwin's friend Frederick William Hope told him 'from sending home the much desired bones of Megatherium your name is likely to be immortalised' find out more about this extinct giant ground sloth this #FossilFriday https://t.co/Qz5eMx30Nb #charlesdarwin #digitalmuseum
Some Tarbosaurus bataar skulls. Made these photos at PIN yesterday. More photos will be posted.
