Hey you. A while ago I was given this awesome, old gorgonopsian model. It has no logo, brand, name, etc. on it. I'm intensely curious about it! Does anyone know anything about this model? I'd love to know the artist who created this and to know the year it was produced! Help??

I don't get to spend a lot of time in my office, which is sad, because now there are three original @wargonopsid.bsky.social paintings hanging on the wall. So, I just want to sit there and look at them! 😭😭😭😭😭

Ok I’ll sign this later but I decided done was better than perfect. A pair of Lycaenops have an argument over a stick. Did you know we have found gorgons with other gorgons teeth embedded in their face, with healing after? It’s true! Anyway, it felt very dog park and I had to make it happen. #sciart

Jacket flipping (this is just 1 clam) is a team sport. @pinuppaleontology.bsky.social @paleo-hank.bsky.social @casidor.bsky.social

Son of Chowder is free from the chalk!

47 million-year-old bug is the oldest singing cicada fossil from Europe | CNN Two fossils of singing cicadas, one of which was remarkably well preserved, reveals that the insects dispersed in Europe millions of years earlier than once thought.

When insect fossils are this intact, just looking at them makes you go WHOA. Plus, preserved body structures reveal how their group evolved! In my latest for @cnn.com, I wrote about how a truly stunning cicada fossil from Germany's Messel Pit places singing cicadas in Europe earlier than expected πŸ§ͺ

Burgum highlighting the work that Colossal did should make every person at Colossal rethink their relationship with the company. This fake dire wolf announcement was incredible misinformation and the company needs to massively recalibrate their media output to be 200% more honest.

Dire Wolf (Aenocyon dirus) thread.

No, those wolves in the news yesterday are NOT dire wolves. To be clear those are Gray Wolves with just a few genes modified based on Dire Wolf DNA through CRISPR

This Glyptotherium has a couple more head holes than usual. See the two ovals on top? Those are canine tooth punctures from a big cat’s bite. It could have been a large jaguar, or a sabercat like Smilodon, but either way it was a bad day for this giant armadillo. πŸ§ͺ
