A portrait page with a full restored branch onto the left. It has 6 palm like leaves at the end of one branch, hiding a cone, with a second mature cone below it. On the top right is a male floral organ, which is start shaped, and in the bottom right is a cut-way of the female cone showing its development.

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.

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.

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!

A landscape page with a pale green background and two illustrations of Ginkgo on it. On the left is an inaccurate one with leaves coming directly from a branch. On the right is an accurate one with clusters extending from short shoots.

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
