Email from John Horner to Jeffrey Epstein 6/29/2012 Hi [redacted] Since i don't really know how long it would take to get from Albuquerque to the ranch and visa versa [sic], and don't know how I'm to get there (would someone be picking me up or should I rent a car) it would probably be best if you just booked the flight for me. Delta Airlines connecting through Salt Lake is the most convenient for me. My official name and frequent number [sic] is: John Robert Horner Delta # [REDACTED] The geology maps are perfect. Jack

email from Lesley Groff to Jeffrey Epstein "Reminder: John Horner and student to visit ranch today... [redacted] =ill [sic] be taking care of them...

Jack Horner being in the Epstein files is not something I had on my bingo card for 2026.... Horner seemingly visited Epstein's ranch multiple times, including apparently with a student.

The image shows a blue Smilodon (a kind of extinct big cat with long canine teeth) roaring to the viewer on a red and orange background. It is framed by the words "CHIN UP" and "FANGS OUT". The style is like a vintage screenprint though the artwork is digital.

A Smilodon for the ice age. Protect your neighbors. #pleistocene #sabertooth #megafauna #iceage

Prognathodon currii is a mosasaur species. Here, it swims near pack of aulopiform fish from genus Enchodus.

dithered version.

Prognathodon currii swimming near small Enchodus pack. Art was inspired by some Pseudorca photoes.

A black and white drawing of horned Ceratosaurus with its prey, juvenile Torvosaurus tanneri which has mor gracile appearance than adult. TIntegument of latter is based on skin impressions of possible megalosauroidean Juravenator starki from Germany. Done in Paint.

An adult Ceratosaurus nasicornis caught juvenile Torvosaurus tanneri. These theropods, like an Allosaurus, were found in the famous Morrison Formation, but their remains are much less common. Despite some differences in food sources, they competed and killed each other from time to time.

Megaloceros giganteus beating Homo neanderthalensis. His mates are running to help him and kill this fucking antelope.

The condition of the fingers isn't that unusual for the clade but the OSTEODERMS on the hand are new!

A man with a huge to-scale model of a Carcharodontosaurus head

Got informed about some sad news. Garfield Minott, a prolific dinosaur modeller, special effects and palaeoartist, recognised for contributions to the description of dinosaur binocular vision, passed away at age of 58.

Old news, but still news!

Nanotyrannus lives yall!

I'm pretty confident that certain online people are going to be cheering about how they were right all along on Nanotyrannus. Their take will be that they were right all along and their arguments, based on private specimens of uncertain provenance, photos of things without scale bars, and ideas...

The Case of the Tiny Tyrannosaurus Might Have Been Cracked

My latest for @nytimes.com! For 40 years, paleontologists have grappled over whether a small tyrannosaur — named Nanotyrannus — was its own animal, or simply a teenage T.rex. The debate has been ... contentious. Which is why it's so fun to finally be able to say this:

Folks? Nanotyrannus is real.

YouTube video by EDGE Science That Time Tyrannosaurus rex Almost Lost Its Name

Great video by @edgescience.bsky.social I think that the whole Manospondylus gigas situation is a testament as to how flawed the ICZN nomenclature rules are (or at least how they fail to account for certain situations like this one).
