New #paleoart at #Patreon for #FossilFriday: T. rex wrestles E. annectens; a predation scene that deploys tyrannosaur arms. See the high-res image, read a long(ish) discussion of T. rex arm function and enjoy masses of other palaeo content at https://t.co/5An5fgQIYw - all for $1.
And - whew - one more piece of #paleoart for #FossilFriday: a take on the famous Fossil Forest of the @jurassic_coast. As usual, the high-res is located on Patreon along with loads of other essays, artworks and videos. https://t.co/2LHOPQ1xeY
Some old #paleoart for #FossilFriday: a mural of an OTT early Jurassic sea I painted back in 2018. I remember having a week or two to paint this and another commission for the same project, so much work was done and not much sleep was had.
New #paleoart-heavy blogpost for #FossilFriday: I discuss the textures of carcharodontosaurid skulls in an attempt to reconstruct the face of Giganotosaurus (a tricky animal to research but a cool one to draw). https://t.co/r8J97qeEvm
#FossilFriday: the latest of our fossil species from #IsleofSkye, the early salamander, #Marmorerpeton! The 1st part was found in 1971 by Michael Waldman, Robert Savage & team, & we found the rest in 2016, + more (incl. skull) since. Renders: @MarcEHJones, art:@BStokkermans
#Paleoart from 2017 for #FossilFriday: the giant placoderm Titanichthys filters through Devonian seas. This image is featured in my old school "tour-through-time" 2020 book Life Through the Ages II. I had a blast putting LTTAII together, I hope to something like it again someday.
New #paleoart to the (public) internet for #FossilFriday: from 2018, the entirety of my rising Shonisaurus popularis scene. The idea is that these animals are hunting cooperatively and corraling squid, hence the leftmost animal swallowing down a tentacley meal.
Some new pseudo-#paleoart for #FossilFriday: my take on the most famous part of Ray Bradbury's 1852 short story "A Sound of Thunder". Watch out for those butterflies, folks.
My afternoon is all about creating sauropod #paleoart, so in honour of that, here's a suite of sauropodomorphoramas featuring classic taxa for #FossilFriday: Brontosaurus, Giraffatitan, Plateosaurus, and Diplodocus.
A rare bird for #FossilFriday: Kurt Regschek's 'Urvogel (Archäopteryx)' (ca. 1955). Unfortunately for the select group of palaeontology-surrealism connoisseurs, this painting seems to have been auctioned off with little info.
Some Rhamphorhynchus #paleoart for #FossilFriday: Rhamporhynchus the greedy, Rhamphorhynchus the kleptoparasite, and Rhamphorhynchus the trackmaker (from 2016, 2018 and 2019).
New to the internet #paleoart for #FossilFriday: the complete version of a Hupehsuchus nanchangensis image I drew last year. Hupehsuchus is a super weird Triassic marine reptile with an armoured back and incredibly thin lower jaw. There's no crazy like Triassic crazy.
This #FossilFriday: announcing the return of https://t.co/OugaMQ6iQi with a new carcharodontosaurid from Uzebkistan!

Really excited to be bringing the Yorkshire Fossil Festival back this weekend. We'll be online, on-screen, in-museum and in-marquees, starting on #FossilFriday: https://t.co/z7PL219bLd.
Here are a few of the #YorksFossilFest highlights to whet your appetite...
Happy #fossilfriday: Xenorhinotherium and Toxodon, plus some sharks sketches #fishyfriday #fishart
Some more #AmongUs #dinosaurs (and some non-dinos) for #FossilFriday:
#paleoart #paleontology #Spinosaurus #Microraptor #Tyrannosaur
A #paleoart salute to ichthyosaurs this #FossilFriday: splendid beasts that I've had an excuse to restore several times recently. Marine reptiles are really fun to draw and these have been a blast to work on. Here's Temnodontosaurus, Ichthyosaurus, Shonisaurus and Leptonectes.
New #paleoart at @Patreon for #FossilFriday: the giant flippered, grumpy-faced and long-snouted ichthyosaur Leptonectes tenuirostris. There's a hi-res version and heaps of similar content awaiting you at Patreon for just $1 a month. https://t.co/PXlmg1u290
Finally, a new blog post, just in time for #FossilFriday: is there any real link between dinosaurs and Chinese dragon mythology? We actually know a heck of a lot about Chinese 'dragon bones' and they aren't - dramatic pause - dinosaur flavoured.

Some five-year-old #paleoart for #FossilFriday: troodontids meet Tusoteuthis. Fossil coleoids are famously difficult to reconstruct (all soft-tissue, virtually no skeleton), so it's sometimes best to bundle them up on a beach where no-one can tell what they're meant to look like.
