Spinosaur Tales by @davehone.bsky.social and @markwitton.bsky.social. I got my hands on it early, and I can't recommend it enough for anybody interested in these enigmatic therapods!
The first episode of #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge was breathtaking, and everything I wanted from paleo docs (minus vague taxonomy?) Ie - is this stunning saber toothed cat Smilodon populator? 🐈🦷

Imagine going to watch the new series of Prehistoric Planet, you have snacks, a heart full of joy to see some of your favourite extinct creatures... and Apple TV is glitchy, and the screen is black... couldn't be me... -screams-

Palaeontology friends and community, are there sources to stay up to date on animals such as Pterosaurs? Researching them online is difficult with so many re-classifications and out of date sources.

Hey, guys, so it turns out the Spinosaurus holotype wasn’t blown into oblivion, the Germans just sent it to Japan under the shroud of night! #paleosky

Very exciting new study in PeerJ on #azhdarchids, with two new taxa (Gobiazhdarcho and Tsogtopteryx), multiple new clade names and new placements for key taxa... peerj.com/articles/197...

Pterosaur remains are very rare in Mongolian Mesozoic deposits, in stark contrast with the great abundance of dinosaur fossils in the region. This contribution presents a reassessment of the azhdarchi...

In support of Science, Art, Kindness to counter my sense of malaise over the state of the world these past years, Bluesky seemed a good change: here’s a timelapse of me basecoat painting my Tiktaalik sculpture recently for a new display in Singapore!

I re-illustrated #Anchiornis again, and it looks quite a bit different from usual!!! This still matches the known data for this #dinosaur, but I really wanted to avoid it looking copy-pasted this time. I've given a full description of it on my Patreon.

So, we finally have more iridescent mammals!!!
This is really useful for paleoart as it helps to show what #iridescence on monofilaments looks like, which is difficult to tell from just birds.
Now I just need to try and access the paper.

Here's an assortment of #Jurassic critters for #FossiFriday, which I recently put together! Honestly, I particularly love my #Heterodontosaurus (the best dinosaur!) and the wittle #moth Archaeolepis! And of course, there are plenty of #plants. #paleoart #paleontology #paleobotany #sciart #dinosaur
