Huge congrats to my colleagues for getting the sauropod volume funded!! BUT they have just 3 more days to reach their stretch goal to fund paleoart!! 146$ is all they need. This volume will likely describe several new species so paleoart is a big must! experiment.com/projects/rea...

I’m opening paleoart commissions for detailed pieces! Dm me for a quote.

not furniture and not a library but princeton university has a ton of prehistoric gargoyles

Refining my digital sculpting skills with a sauropod! Camarasaurus sp.

Thank you @tessasaurus.bsky.social for your help with integument possibilities!

the fun part about making your own models is that you get to play around with them heheh

Check out this awesome video that Tom Fishenden captured for us of DinoCon 2025!

It was an absolute blast and we will see you all again in 2026! (updates still to come!)

To find more of Tom’s work, see the links in the comments.

Shoutout to certain dinocon ppl for getting me to appreciate (and perhaps become mildly obsessed with) sauropods. Like, what the hell. What cool, weirdass giant critters they were!

"Extreme engineering" on another level for real

Love was literally in the strata this past weekend! 💍🦕

One couple unearthed something extra special with a surprise proposal in the quarry, while an epic bachelorette party brought the celebration to the museum halls. EFM is so lucky to be part of moments that make both history and memories.

Not counting today, FOUR DAYS until #DinoConUK. Tickets will be on sale for one or two more days for what's guaranteed to be the UK's - almost certainly Europe's - largest dinosaur-themed event since the end of the Cretaceous. Info: www.dinocon.co.uk

This time next week, #DinoConUK will be in full swing. Be sure to follow (and use) the # if you want to keep up with developments. We will encourage people to share news on social media throughout the event. See you there :)

What are they talking about it?

a Kaatedocus holds Pearto in its mouth, she looks terrified Kaatedocus is a diplodocid sauropod (large quadrupedal herbivorous reptiles with long necks and tails) that is quite similar to its more famous relative Diplodocus, however it's significantly smaller Pearto is a character created from the fusion of the Utauloid Kasane Teto and a pear

that thing they say about Teto fans is true btw, we're all mentally ill

i call this piece:

Here it is! Please welcome the AMAZING Mirasaura grauvogeli, a NEW MARVELOUS Drepanosaur published in NATURE today!
This astonishing reptile lived during the Middle Triassic in Europe and it possessed an amazing crest made of plume-like structures!

I was commissioned to bring it to life
#paleoart

I saw!!!! Super exciting discovery

New paper day! Phil Bell led a great study on some *INSANELY COOL* titanosaur tracks our expedition found in Mongolia. The scales in particular are extra awesome - they're like little pyramids, and they *may* have helped with scratch digging and/or walking on sandy surfaces!

Has threatening your experiments ever worked?
