This is absolutely gorgeous! Stunning work

Still not over how gorgeous the preservation is on that skull.

A black and white skeletal reconstruction of Xenorophus sloanii, and a pair of photos of the skull and neck vertebrae of the best known specimen in top and side view.

#whalewednesday The spectacular early toothed whale Xenorophus sloanii from the Oligocene (~28 mya) of South Carolina! This is a critical transitional fossil, known from about a dozen skulls and partial skeletons. Read more about Xenorophus here on my blog: coastalpaleo.blogspot.com/2024/03/the-...

Preview of my latest #paleoart piece: a baby bison flees the deadliest predator of Ice Age Europe. Harrowing, harrowing stuff.

Huge azhdarchoid paper, at long last, ACCEPTED!!!! Prepare for some BIG insights!!!

These are gorgeous, Tom!

I still wonder how you manage to achieve it! (and am reminded I still need to write you a letter!)

In half an hour this years #paleostreamcon starts!
Link to Twitch and the Disrcord server below!

This Saturday we will host once again #PaleostreamCon on Twitch and Discord!
We are very exited for these talks and discussions!

Happy birthday to the cattos!!

It's quite a common scam tactic sadly. Although the part about edits not being accepted might hold true (editing your own page can be seen as a conflict of interest)

Considering he's a redhead, have you considered Ed?

A very exciting premise! August can't come soon enough

Today's #ArtBoost: Australia-based Petite Palaeoartist aka Sauriazoicillus @ppaleoartist.bsky.social, whose work spans most palaeo subjects: plankton to #marinereptiles #dinosaurs and more. Recently published in landmark study on Australian theropods! Links at linktr.ee/ppaleoartist

#PaleostreamCon is upon us again! On the 29. of March we will hold it, on Discord, with a stream on Twitch! This year we want to experiment with new formats so we have a show-and-tell and poster session! Learn more and sign up below!

Only seeing this now, but this is awesome!!

Since algorithms across various social media platforms are making it harder to see what you enjoy, here's a thread of #paleoart I think is underrated or a tad overlooked.
Kicking things off with Sam Milkovits' azhdarchid portrait

If everything goes according to plan I will be there, can't wait!

This is a nightmare

Ooooh that looks gorgeous!

Ugh, the detail on the foliage alone!! It looks gorgeous

Watercolor painting of a toothed whale skull in lateral view; the skull is light yellowish tan, has a long, slightly flattened snout, with single cusped teeth at the front of the mouth, and denticulate cheek teeth towards the back of the mouth; the enamel is dark brown. A few fractures exposing dark internal bone criss-cross the skull and lower jaw, which is somewhat open.

A review of the non‐semiaquatic adaptations of extinct crocodylomorphs throughout their fossil record Crocodylomorphs constitute a clade of archosaurs that have thrived since the Mesozoic until today and have survived numerous major biological crises. Contrary to historic belief, their semiaquatic ex...
