Introducing myself! I'm a conservation communicator currently working for a wildlife rehab center. Birding, herping, and complaining about the state of contemporary cinema are my greatest hobbies.

More new #paleoart and discussion at #Patreon: the colour schemes of Sinornithosaurus and Microraptor. What do we know, and what do their colours tell us? www.patreon.com/posts/sinorn...

#sciart #dinosaurs #paleontology #fossils
In a yellowing Cretaceous ginkgo tree, a chestnut, black and white Sinornithosaurus perches on a branch beneath a black, iridescent Microraptor. It has a small mammal in its jaws, which the Sinornithosaurus covets. Another Microraptor, all four wings spread, approaches to land. Ginkgo leaves fall around them, and X-shaped Microraptor silhouettes glide in the skies behind.

Canadians horrified by what ICE is doing should realize the RCMP uses the same tactics domestically against Indigenous people and yet barely anyone speaks up.

Journalists have been arrested just for trying to cover it

Carol Linnitt, co-founder and editor-in-chief, provides an update on The Narwhal’s court case against the RCMP. Amber Bracken finished cross-examination late Jan. 28. It took more than 12 hours.

New #paleoart at #Patreon for #FossilFriday: Caudipteryx encounters a frozen lake, is unsure, prob. makes wee bokking noises as its feet slide apart hilariously.

Lots of discussion about the colour data of this animal in my Patreon post. www.patreon.com/posts/149439...
#sciart #fossil #dinosaurs
It's a quiet winter morning in Cretaceous China. Mist clings to the bank of a frozen lake, but shadows from adjacent trees hint at their impending dispulsion from the coming sun. From the crunchy, leaf-strewn shore comes a turkey-sized, black and white, bird-like dinosaur, Caudipteryx. It steps onto the ice: one foot, then the other. All is OK. But then... whoa. WHOA. What's happening to the first foot? It's sliding away! And foot two? Also sliding! What fresh hell is this? _Solid, slippy water_? Caudipteryx leans forward, arms spread, tail raised, showing its striped tail fan. It stands there, legs akimbo, as frozen as the water beneath it. This is going to get worse before it gets better.

One of my most persistent issues with ST: Discovery is the passivity of the dialogue. Conversations never feel like real conversations and disagreements are dealt with quickly without ongoing conflict between individual crewmembers.

Wife and I finished Star Trek Discovery last night, and even though the last 2 seasons are pretty good, there is a lot about it that never clicked for me.

Would you still love me if I was as Ottoia?
restingdinoface.bsky.social Riley Black 🏳️‍⚧️ 🦕 @restingdinoface.bsky.social · 4d
I love a worm with a toothy proboscis.

These Ottoia lived about 508 million years ago among a seabed now preserved in British Columbia. The worms burrowed in the sediment, slurping up smaller animals with their extendable, spine-coated mouthparts. 🧪
Several prehistoric worms, Ottoia, preserved in ancient gray shale.

Are there any well choreographed/shot fight scenes in Star Trek?

Because I can't think of any.

Ice Age art!

A lovely little horse figurine sculpted from mammoth tusk around 15,000 years ago!

Known as ‘The Little Horse of Lourdes’ it was found in 1886 in the cave of Les Espélugues, Lourdes, Haute-Pyrénées, France. 📷 by me.

#Archaeology
My photo shows a small horse statuette in a museum display case. The horse, viewed in profile, was masterfully carved from mammoth ivory around 15,000 years ago. The sculptor has depicted many realistic details such as the eyes, nostrils, and ears flattened against the head. The coat is represented by finely incised lines and dots. The mane is sculpted in relief, with incised lines on both sides. The four legs and tail are incomplete. The surface of the ivory has a shiny brown patina. Dimensions: Length 7.3 cm x Height 3.5 cm. The statuette is known as ‘The Little Horse of Lourdes’. It was discovered in 1886 in a rock fissure in the Espélugues cave, Lourdes, Haute-Pyrénées, France. Part of the collections at the Musée d'Archéologie Nationale, Domaine national de Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

I talked about this on Tumblr already but I wanted to spread this a little further, unfortunately Twitter and Bluesky are not ideal for this type of content so I will work with screenshots.
