Thanks!
I have another #paleobotany restoration guide for this #FossilFriday. This time, it's Kimuriella densifolia, a whole plant bennettitalean from the Late #Jurassic of Japan.
This plant is composed of three organ taxa: Williamsonia, Zamites, and Weltrichia.

Hehehe, yes, very clever pets! And that's a fun idea! I think I might end up just snuggling my cats, though. 😂
Yeah, they can be, but unfortunately, I'm really scatterbrained unless I've already formulated my thoughts. 😂
But I might consider something a little more like that then.... would definitely be quicker to prepare.
Awww, you're welcome! I'm glad it's helpful!
*always
No problem!!! I'm alessandria happy yo talk about it!
Yes, I have quite a few on here already, and over on my (now basically abandoned) blog.
So, we don't know the exact colour, but like other aspects of palaeoart, when we're missing information it can be informed by modern relatives. We don't _know_ the colour of ancient Ginkgo bark, but giving it colours similar to modern Ginkgo is the most conservative approach.
Ahhh! Do you remember the speaker's name? I might have to talk with them at some point.
Ahhh!!! Which talk was that?!?!??!?! So you remember who gave it?
He iiissssss!!!!!
Oh, sorry.... no new talk on spino, just a new spino paper which everyone has been getting excited about. The new species with the tall crest. Sorry, I worded it weirdly 😅
Aww, thanks. And yeah, this is basically just modern Ginkgo anatomy, but it is corroborated by multiple fossils.
Aww, thanks! Yeah! I'd like to do a nice 'professional' video of it! A little cleaner than my raw talks, at least.😅
Hehe, yes, it was funny!😂
And unfortunately not yet: I do want to record it, though, and put it on YouTube for everyone. And I'll of course be posting about it here once I've unloaded it!
Sure!!! I'll be sharing the link here when I do, so hopefully you'll see it!!!!
Aww, thanks for coming! I'm glad you liked it!!!
Eeee, im glad you like them! Yes! They're adorable!!!
Unfortunately not at the moment, though I'd like to re-record it and post it on YouTube at some point.
Hahahaha, awwww, but this is still a gorgeous piece visually!!!!
Awww, I'm so happy to hear that! Thank-you for watching it!!!!😊
Aww, thank-youuu!!!
Awww, thank-youuu! And Yes! Attention to detail is kinda my jam!
Awww, I'm so happy you found it so useful!!!!! 🥰
Thank-you so much for attending it!!!!
Awww, I'm glad you found the talk useful! And don't worry, the ginkgoes in this piece never once struck me as looking out of place!!! I adore this piece of yours!
I, too, would like to have a go at the new Spinosaurus soon, but in the meantime:
Here's a slide from my recent talk, which covers the DOs and DON'Ts of restoring ginkgoes within palaeoart!
Enjoy! #Ginkgo #FossilFriday #paleobotany #paleoart #SciComm
For #FossilFriday a panoply of the basal #ankylosaurid Liaoningosaurus, known by literally dozens of juvenile specimens. The largest specimens are around 50 cm #thyreophora #ornithischia
Eee! I'm glad!!!
So, just a last-minute reminder to everyone that I'll be giving a free online talk for the University of Birmingham LapSoc tomorrow evening ( #FossilFriday 13th) at 6pm UK time!
