Please enjoy the single most amazing quote from a paleontologist I have ever read: “The animal literally cemented itself—and its nether regions—into eternal history like the movie stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.” 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-...

As the time to talk #SurvivingEarth nears, I wanted to say that I’m extremely proud to have been part of the amazing team who worked on it
I was commissioned by Tim Haines (producer of Walking with Dinosaurs) and his team, to create the concept art for MANY animals for this project!
#paleoart
Now with a closer look at the concept art that I made ;)
I am very happy and proud I could be part of the process and hope I can contribute a little more in the future in similar productions ^^
I saw those cum dumpsters a lot in Hong Kong.
Happy New Year, Horse, with Eohippus

Why this new 'spiny dragon' dinosaur found in China is such a huge deal ... a new article at Discover Wildlife www.discoverwildlife.com/dinosaurs/ha... #dinosaurs
Is this your take/modernized version of the JP rex?
A quick statement about current and ongoing events in paleontology - but this philosophy should also be duly applied to all sciences and walks of life.
For those keeping score at home:
3 hours ago, I shared my results of having combed through ~470 DOJ Epstein files that mention Jack Horner, his MSU email, or "Dinochicken". I posted a copy, w/ screenshots and receipts, to r/Paleontology. It has been pinned by moderators and thus far viewed 38k times.

In South Africa, paleontology has been dominated by white people. Lazarus Kgasi is changing that dynamic — and coloring in the picture of the world our distant ancestors once inhabited. n.pr/49WF6w1
Wow, I didn't know this. Thank you for sharing.
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.
I have nothing of substance to add re: the condemnation of paleo associations with Epstein, but as the initiator of one of the more recent high-profile SVP ethics cases who spent months going through their process, I have some thoughts re: SVP's handling of ethics cases/reports.
A thread 🧵:
Oh ok, Mark is involved. That's a good sign.
That message from SVP is so cowardly.
I've only seen pictures of it, never seen the actual model.
Interview I did today on our parking lot dinosaur.

2025 was mostly garbage, but there were some good moments.
One of my favorites was when a family of beavers built a dam in just a few days, saving the Czech Republic 30 million Czech koruna (US$1.2 million) for a wetland restoration project the government had been planning for 7 years. 🦫 🌿
Today is the last day that you can repost this image
Man, this sucks. It's one of the few things that seem like a slam dunk in paleontology.
Danny "just" posted some field interviews from a couple years ago. So if you are not interested in watching football give them a view. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIU0...

That very disappointing to read.
Black and white lateral drawing of primitive predatory dinosaur with speculative protofeathery integument. Done in Adobe Photoshop.
Chindesaurus bryansmalli, a basal predatory dinosaur from the Late Triassic of Arizona. Its holotype, a partial postcranial skeleton, was nicknamed "Gertie". Chindesaurus was classified as herrerasaurid, but recent analyzes recovered it as Tawa hallae relative.

Excited to announce that my second manuscript, “Fossilised Melanosomes Reveal Colour Patterning in A Sauropod Dinosaur” has been published in
@royalsociety.org !! Diplodocus scales are complex and diverse, and it turns out their color patterning was even more so. A 🧵🦕 1/26
