In 1967, the name Prognathodon was given priority by Dale A. Russel, in his comprehensive monograph of North American Mosasaurs.
In 1989, Theagarten Lingham-Soliar and Dirk Nolf did the first comprehensive study of the original fossils
The weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Prognathodon
In 1889, Louis Dollo in his early notes, names specimens gathered in Belgium Prognathodon .
Later Dollo used the name Prognathosaurus. He maintained this name in the rest of his notes and writings.

nope, you were closer the first time :D
close, hint P
This week for #Fossilfriday we have another #Guess that #Lego #Fossil.
This one I would rate as hard. This marine reptile is known from the Middle East, Europe, New Zealand, Africa and North America.
Reply your guess and I will post the answer tomorrow.

gods i hope thats satire because if its not we need a dystopian clock as well as a doomsday clock...
@paleontologizing.bsky.social @claireburr.bsky.social something to look at for an episode?
This is amazing.

A few weeks later he returned to the same place and found the tip, a phalanx bone and part of a rib.
In February 1983, palaeontologists Alan J. Charig and Angela C. Milner, after seeing the find, went to the pit and found more fragments.
In 1986, Charig and Milner named it Baryonyx walkeri.

In January 1983, plumber and amateur fossil collector William J. Walker found a rock with a large claw in it. After taking it home he realized the tip was gone

This one I would rate as easy. This piscivore has very heavy claws.

I just posted Ep6 of my SGA S06 fanfic.
This story is based on some notes left on an old BaronDestructo blog.
Added more of the Stargate Modings groups ships in as well
And shout out to Ulrich Kuhn's DAEDALUS-CLASS hangar bay
I hope I did the story concept justice

The things I feel are important about the paper are:
1) We got a 3D, muscle-driven dinosaur to jump; and a similar simulation of a bird does well enough, too
2) The results of the simulations make sense in terms of theory of jumping dynamics
3) Tail mobility outstrips other inputs in importance
New #DAWNDINOS paper!
We do predictive simulations of vertical height jumping in the Triassic theropod Coelophysis & extant (tinamou) bird Eudromia. Mainly as sensitivity analysis of what parameters are most important. We show how crucial tail mobility is.

@claireburr.bsky.social @paleontologizing.bsky.social - something to look at on stream
if only he would do something about the pedos in the church, maybe, just maybe, he would have a long term positive effect on the world
Microscopy Monday: We chatted bioethics of classic mouse/rat experiments, genetic engineering in flies, and imaged harvester ants! Thank you @paleontologizing.bsky.social @goodish_gamer @dostuffmakethings @tba_listenhere @petradactyl.bsky.social for the raids! We passed the love to @pomatomaster.ca
Good morning.
Time for an art showcase.
Some of my scenes I made over the years.
Enjoy.

if i had the money, i would 100% hire you to do art in a book im working on (on and off, and more off than on)... that said, its aussie megafauna, dinosaurs and other extinct animals, made from Lego, so thats a bit different haha
Spinosaurus mirabilis (1:6 scale)
Nah this is him looking around different bases failing to see them haha

In 1819, James Everard Home formally described the first Ichthyosuarus, Proteosaurus, now Temnodontosaurus.
In 1821, Henry De la Beche and William Conybeare formally named Ichthyosaurus
In 1974, after an extensive search, C. McGowan reported the initial specimen lost.
The weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Ichthyosaurus
In 1814, Mary and Joseph Anning found the first fairly complete specimen.
In 1818, Charles Kong first used the name Ichthyosaurus, but it was not a scientific description.

This one I would rate as easy. This marine reptile is very famous.

Im working on a render, with some of the VFX models from the show, and a lot of fan models, to get an idea of how big different ships were in the show. If you want to take a look, let me know :D
Im also doing a scale render with a heap of fan designed models including a heap of Martins SGEAW models
Czech Stargate fan Martin Taichl joins Dial the Gate to explore his extraordinary custom-built Stargate model collection with just a 3D printer.

Yucky! Apparently there is a 2,600 ACRE data center that is proposed near Dinosaur Valley in Glen Rose, TX. I grew up loving that area, and I have numerous fond memories of it.
Please help me tell the powers that be we do NOT want this data center.

Welp, that's the second most evil thing I've seen AI used for... yikes
Im glad facebook deleted my account.
@paleontologizing.bsky.social some good avian dinosaur news

We trying to have most #kakapo chicks hatch in nests on Pukenui, so don't have many eggs in the incubators. But there are ~4 which we're incubating and will put in nests just before they hatch. The Anchor chicks are due to start hatching soon - watch this space! #kakapo2026 #conservation
