18/yo Paleo-art nerd aiming to be a paleontologist, my blood is replaced by ink. I'm really a fan of pseudosuchians, playing the piano, FNaF, anything Fujimoto writes and draws, and many other things. Btw: GET ME OUT OF VENEZUELA

jumped at first thinking this was a shuvosaurid
HE LOOKS SO STUPID
A hand holding a small fossil skull (facing left) still in the rock: grey, brown, with reddish purple hematite. Grassland in the background.
A Diictodon in the hand is worth two in the bush. But weโll look anyway. #FossilFriday
Everyone please cherish this creature
Speculative basal spinosaur that looks more like Irritator than i anticipated Art commission for EDGE science!
Duck

(also yes its size has been very often overestimated)
Babe wake up, the first accurate skeletal reconstruction of the buffalo-iguana called Shringasaurus is out
not yet :(
what good does awareness bring compared to nihilism regarding things you have 0 power or control over
this was the fish! bsky.app/profile/cora...

A gray white reptile skull in a black sand table
a pretty skull of the phytosaur Redondasaurus collected from the Navajo Nation and housed at @museumofnaz, on loan to PEFO #FossilFriday ๐ฆ๐งช
human holding a cast of a red reptile skull
Gumbyโs skull was collected in 2008 and is on exhibit at PEFOโs Rainbow Forest Museum.
in a darkened ocean, the mosasaur-like ichthyosaur thalattoarchon's gleam with ferocious glee, blood floating from its open mouth
because of this, megapterygius could be described as a mosasaur that converged on ichthyosaur-like traits, a direct contrast to thalattoarchon, a triassic ichthyosaur that converged on mosasaur-like traits

a photograph of the megapterygius holotype as it was displayed at the national museum of nature and science in tokyo
happy #fossilfriday! bonus: this is megapterygius, a mosasaur from late cretaceous japan. at least 5 of its posterior dorsal vertebrae have neural spines that project anterodorsally, suggesting that it may have had a dorsal fin reminiscent of some delphinoid cetaceans

IS THAT A GODDAMN FOSSILIZED TRACHEA
"I believe In evolution, except for the whole Triassic period"
maybe...
EVERY CURRENT ART OF THIS ANIMAL IS WRONG!!!!!!!
for this to have the normal tail its usually depicted with, it would need a string of like 150 caudal vertebrae, instead of the expected 30-40
it had big manual claws and a big bone support for a MEAN angry brow over the eye

Araripesuchus' only leaving the titanosaur live because he's on a good mood that day btw, otherwise the scenery wouldn't be as pretty....
