I just learned about Dear Fauna, a STOP MOTION, FELT animation about pleistocene.
It releases in just a couple days. Let's show it some love!

Exploded mosasaur skull with curatorial hand for scale.

Last update, and Winnie is getting much more complete! Still more skull elements to prep but it's just about all there.

More pathologies showing up including a really messed up left splenial

Triassic diapsid shows early diversification of skin appendages in reptiles - Nature A Middle Triassic diapsid is presented that has a distinctive crest consisting of integumentary appendages that are structurally distinct from avemetatarsalian feathers.

Okay, this is cool!! Longisquama gets a better preserved sister!!

David James Armsby has done it again! Dinosauria is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of what paleo-media can be. I can't wait for the next one!

Sad that they thought it was a good idea in the first place to use genAI. But this is very good news.

Day51 of photoshopping @lastweektonight.com's John Oliver with fossils in the hopes that he saves the Paleontological Research Institution

Which of these Merycoidodon culbertsoni (PRI50653) can get it, John (H. sapiens)?
(they are all the same, but he wants to know his best pic)

CRACK!

Razanandrongobe easily crushes a dinosaur's femur to feed from its nutritious marrow

If Barinasuchus' skull rivaled the size of a Daspletosaurus, this crocodyliform's skull rivaled the size of a T. rex, and was arguably more specialized for bone-cracking

FINE.

I'll post on Bluesky.

Twitter is toasted, man. What a tragedy and infuriating loss of the following I built there all because of one tech ghoul's ego.

Thank you. It mostly looks the way it does because this process is easier to make. Since I already sculpted the skull in 3d, it makes sense to just make renders of it with a stylized shader rather than redrawing the entire skull. Makes the process much faster.

Don't think I've ever seen their larvae. Wow, those really are quite gross.
Fascinating!

Can't believe it's been a whole year since I made this. Thank you to everyone who's shared what it means to them seeing Pride represented with images from near and far, all across the universe. The original page was taken down, but can still be found on archive.org: web.archive.org/web/20250129...

A cartoon Anchiornis with a large cockatoo like crest. Instead of red its crest is the colours of the pride flag, as is its cheek. In the background there is the trans flag on the left, the transfem flag on the right, amd the bi flag in a circle in the centre.

Happy Pride Month, everyone!!!
