A funny-looking friend

The first attempt to reconstruct Tyrannosaurus rex, in the 1905 paper in which Osborn named it and a panel mount of the skeleton (middle), from the 1916 paper in which Osborn described and named it.

Founders of modern paleontology, and their contributions to systemic racism, classism and sexism (🧵)

Henry Osborn (1857–1935), responsible for naming of Tyrannosaurus & Velociraptor; president of ANHM.
Co-founder of the American Eugenics Society. Contributing to books later praised by Hitler.

Four people (including a brown-haired Mark Norell) on ladders remove model skull from Apatosaurus mounted skeleton

Hmm, sounds like we need a refresher. The issue of whether everyone's favorite long-neck is called Brontosaurus or Apatosaurus (or both) has *nothing* to do with which skull was historically included on museum mounts! 🧵#FossilFriday

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a person is running aside a bicycle, assisting the rider by holding the handlebars. The person says “you got this! Don’t stop pedaling!” Panel 2: the bicycle rider continues riding solo down a forest trail. The person is behind them, holding their arms up in celebration. “Keep going!” Panel 3: an eldritch horror in a cloak rides confidently on the bicycle. It’s says “I’m doing it!!”

Digital painting of a bush in dark blue-green tones with a ruddy rattlesnake curled in its branches; she has glowing red eyes and the white symbol of a hand over her head

I had a dream about falling into a bush in a foggy field, and in it lived a massive red rattlesnake; I dreamed that she both bit me and spared me at the same time

Finally finished it!
Shirt cut meme but with Yautjas.

fine motion for @unerringherring.bsky.social , thank you ! 🍀

my ops resent me because I'm living large (one house spider in my kitchen window and one house spider in my bathroom window)

Scar, the recently blooded Yautja Predator, places the Hunter's Mark on the cheek of the human woman, Alexa Woods.

Monster Mash #3

Scar and Lex had an effect on my brain chemistry back in 2004. One of the blueprints, if you will!

I found a very interesting paper recounting observations and accounts of American alligators and elasmobranchs preying upon each other.

Most of these figures show alligators preying on elasmobranchs; the last shows an alligator that had a stingray barb embedded in its neck.

Feeling pretty good about this overall. The banner is not 1:1 or what I imagined, but it’s damn close and I’ll take it for a first try at major freehand. #warhammer #hobby #miniaturepainting #wip #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #khorne

Sislo and Tetheril, the protagonist couple from my webcomic series, Flowers of Etrea. Sislo is a big, scalie, handsome hunk of a lizardman. Tetheril is a Elf Dryad with hips as thick as she is cute. Sislo is presenting a steak taco in one claw, a chapuline burrito in the other and an empanada on his tongue. Tetheril is holding an avocado and bell pepper with a jalapeno in her mouth. This is a loving tribute to food for Latino Heritage Month.

Hispanic Heritage Month!

A Yautja predator spreads his arms wide while riding a raptor like dinosaur. He is adorned in bone and leather. Before him is a giant alien xenomorph, perched upon a dead tyrannosaurus type theropod. This is a prehistoric alien vs predator piece

Finished a RPG character commission for @humonculusn3.bsky.social , which entitled rolling dice to come up with the characteristics and details. Wacky and fun!

I now have too many reference photos saved of Centipede faces.

A herd of scruffy-furred, powerful bronotheres amble about a open plain, converging on a shallow pond. In the distance, two volcanos belch plumes of smoke and cloud the sky with ash.

Today's random piece of nostalgic palaeoart: Zdenek Burian's "Brontotherium" (Megacerops)

As with many of Burian's paintings, this was a major work in defining the way its subjects were imagined for decades to come, only overshadowed by Charles Knight's older, more rhino-like reconstructions. (1/5)
