#FossilFriday 福井旅行2日目の福井県立恐竜博物館さんの恐竜達の全身骨格の一部を紹介します。ティラノサウルス、タルボサウルス、フクイラプトル、フクイサウルスです。
For #FossilFriday, just a reminder of how beautiful the Holotype skull of Gastonia burgei is. Best Polacanthid skull so far on planet. Yhis guy was a head pounder like a dinocephalian with pterygoid processes forming a shock absorber at front of braincase. I'm looking at you!
Femora from 6 Pacific mastodons from Southern California. Mine is the 1st one (A). Scale=10 cm. D&E are probable females, others are probable males. A&B from @WesternCenter, C&E from @labreatarpits , D from @SDNHM , F from @sbnature. #DailyMastodon #mastodon #FossilFriday
#FossilFriday Over the past 20yrs teams, have been filling out the list of #dinosaurs from Nevada. The 1st pic here is a partial dental battery of a primitive duck-billed from S. NV. Duck-billed dinos were the cows of the Cretaceous. They formed huge herds (or flocks).
I have a big drop of new #paleoart coming next week, but for now I'm mining the archive again for #FossilFriday. Here's Mystriosuchus steinbergeri, from 2018. This is probably one of my better paintings - I often don't like looking at older work, but I think this holds up.
Happy #FossilFriday, and here's another illustration for @Palaeofox/ PalaeoGames' new #TTRPG sourcebook! https://t.co/o2DYKly6Q3
This is a restoration of Nelumbites, a #Cretaceous #lotusflower🪷. Unlike modern lotus flowers, fossil species can have heart-shaped leaves. #paleoart
Re-imagining Baby Tyrannosaurs!
Posting because #FossilFriday & thanks to @MarkWitton speculative baby T. rex skeletal.
No Tyrannosaurus rex eggs or hatchlings have ever been discovered.
Featuring @funstonpaleo.

For #FossilFriday, one of the most complicated fossils I had to scan in my career: this #Iguanodon on top of the hill in the "field exhibition" at the @RBINSmuseum! Climbing more than 2 meters above the other skeletons was such an experience! But it was worth it! @UniversiteLiege
Histology continues on ze big Edmontosaurus cheekbone #FossilFriday
Proborhyaena gigantea. At 150 kg, it was one of the largest sparassodonts. #FossilFriday

At the moment I find myself obsessed with the fact the parrotfish-like latimeriids existed. You're welcome. #paleontology #sarcopterygians #fossilfriday
Quill knobs! When present, they indicate large wing feathers. BUT, some birds (ostriches, rheas, ducks) have large wing feathers without quill knobs, so their absence doesn’t mean dinosaurs without them were wingless #FossilFriday
For #FossilFriday , #Therizinosaurus showing off it’s claws for display!

For #FossilFriday, here's #paleoart of Rhamphorhynchus creating Rhamphichnus, simultaneously also creating a sentence with far too many "h"'s. It would be neat to explore more non-pterodactyloid terrestrial locomotion in art, but time is never on my side.
For today’s #FossilFriday , Miracinonyx, the American Cheetah!

More new #paleoart at #Patreon for #FossilFriday! Tyrannosaurus takes on a giant Alamosaurus. Alamosaurus laughs.

Happy #FossilFriday! How do you picture a monster? T.C. Weston imagined slimy
dinosaurs! Although we now know it's unlikely dinosaurs were slimy, it was a somewhat
sensible belief considering that many dinosaurs lived in moist environments and slimy places.

I think that I shall never see a mandible as lovely as a that of a mastodon. #FossilFriday #ChasMastodon
