BUGS!!!! Makes for a fun fossil Friday ☺️ scroll to see a great book recommendation for paleo bug people. Insects fossilize much like anything else. The reason why there isn't more in the fossil record is because their bodies often don't survive the length of time it takes for fossilization to occur.

#Iguanodon has a complicated history. It was the 2nd dinosaur genera named (200 years ago!), but quite a few dinosaurs formerly assigned to Iguanodon now have their own genus names. Mantellisaurus, Darwinsaurus, Mochlodon, and Barilium were all formerly considered "Iguanodon", just to name a few.

And so we come to the end of #fossilfriday 2024 - how wild is that? I felt like this photo of me with this life-size reconstruction of - Megalania estimated to have grown up to 7 meters including the tail. To put this in perspective, the largest Komodo Dragon males clock in at 3 meters (10 feet)!

Sharks eating dinosaurs! At the charming National Museum in Prague. Totally morbid paleoart. But based on one of the few Czech dinosaur fossils, an ornithopod bone crisscrossed with the razor blade bites of sharks.

Bad Day at the Kem Kem Beds A3 private commission. Brief was six Sarcosuchus vs a Spinosaurus. Easy enough.

Hey, everyone! I'll be posting a fossil every day starting TODAY! #FossilAdventCalendar Say hi to Big Al MOR 693: #Allosaurus jimmadseni 🦖. This specimen is housed at Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. This specimen is famous for their many pathologies, or injuries 🩹 sustained during life.

This morning's blue #PaleoArt, for all the new #Bluesky people, is "Cretaceous Blue Moon." Pictured are male #Elasmosaurus showing off how strong their necks are during a bloom of blue bioluminescent algae. #SciArt #SciComm

An oldie from Inktober 2018: trilobyte

Three panel black and white comic. Panel 1. A smiling eel-like primitive fish shows off it's new iPhone in front of it to two trilobites. Fish dialogue: check out my new phone! It's got 16 gigabytes it can hold! Trilobite dialogue: oh yeah? How many trilobites can it hold? Panel 2: the fish looks on, concerned, as the two trilobites crawl onto the phone and others join. Panel 3: the fish looks upset, its phone is buried in several trilobites. Fish dialogue: please stop

Reminder- using reference for art is NOT cheating. Depending on what type of artist you are, you should absolutely be using it. All highly skilled pro artists I know use it. Art isn't a party trick, we don't have to be in the business of impressing ppl with the process. Don't hold yourself back.

quick little thingo of the new aussie trilobite: Triarthrus novoaustralis trying to be more okay with imperfections in my art, i still struggle with focusing on fine details which dont really add much to the final composition, even here i admittedly do it a bit #AusPalaeo #paleoart #bug #sciart

a Triarthrus novoaustralis raises its head towards the left of the frame. yellow warm light illuminates it from the left, while white cool light illuminates it from the right

Triarthrus novoaustralis is a somewhat long, but very small trilobite, a kind of ancient arthropod with an egg-like shape when viewed from the top

Here's a stunner for #FossilFriday, just look at that beetle's preserved wing case! It belongs to a group called frog-legged leaf beetles (so-named for their extra-juicy rear legs), paleontologists called its pattern "the most perfectly preserved pigment-based colouration known in fossil beetles" 🧪

livescience.com

49 million-year-old beetle looks like it was squashed yesterday

Paleontologists named the insect "Attenborough's Beauty," after Sir David Attenborough.

El Dorado - the Golden One - is real this #FossilFriday! A magnificent Mixosaurus cornalianus from Monte San Giorgio, with the skull entirely covered in a thin layer of pyrite. It may be fool's gold, but scientifically it's 24 Carat. And made it on to the cover of the special issue🦕🌿🧪

A full-body fossil of a 60-cm long marine reptile on a black shale plate. The fossil is in places covered by golden pyrite.

A close-up of the golden skull with the pineapple-slice-like large scleral ring of bones in the eye socket and the rows of sharp teeth standing out.

Leaping Balaur bondoc #paleoart for #FossilFriday. This image follows the interpretation that Balaur was an omnivorous bird, not a "double-clawed" dromaeosaur. The skull is unknown, so the head is based on Sapeornis. Originally created for the first @palaeogames.bsky.social book. #sciart

Two bird-like animals leap at one another. Their chests and wings are orange, their necks orange-brown, and their legs white. Feather fans project from their tail base and tail tips. They are surrounded by the bases of trees and framed against a hazy blue-green backdrop. Leaf-litter occupies the base of the image.

one of the worst feelings as an artist is when you have lots of ideas for what you want to draw but no time, then when you have the time you have no motivation, then when you have the motivation you have no ideas
