A female Gideonmantellia pauses for a moment to watch over her young. She is an attentive mother, and although the chicks are capable of feeding and fending for themselves, during the early stages of their growth they will be accompanied and watched over by their parents

Thanks for tagging us. This is why we had a delay on our shipments to the USA for a while. We're now using Royal Mail and USPS (mostly). They appear to be getting through OK bar one or two lost package.

Was sent a copy of the Dr Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs by @palaeogames.bsky.social!
It's basically a PF2-compatible dinosaur bestiary, in case you felt your games needed more dinosaurs (which they do)

This aint sponsored or anything, just wanna show off some of the art cause this rocks

@hankgreen.bsky.social Mars Life - there are some really good examples of bacterial bodyfossils preserved in goethite (an iron oxyhydroxide) after gregite/pyrite/mackinawite that can be used as an example of what could be found on Mars. Checkout my open access paper on it: tinyurl.com/2z8jcymw
