Armin Reindl @arminreindl.bsky.social · 21/08/2026For completion sake here's the last two things I did for Lemuria, both a lot less elaborate in their layout due to time crunch and factors like dinocon 072
Armin Reindl @arminreindl.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I don't recall if I ever posted these on Bluesky, but here's a set of illustrations I made for the Meiolaniidae wikipedia page back when I expanded the information for those animals The goal was to showcase the overall diversity in cranial ornamentation #sciart 26921
Armin Reindl @arminreindl.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Working on wikipedia is fun but sometimes you come across just weirdly baffling stuff For instance, until yesterday the Cathartid page listed several taxa with common names, which ranged from sensible if dubiously sourced to just...nonsense 4120

Armin Reindl @arminreindl.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I can't highlight enough what an absolute blast #DinoConUK was once again, with so many sweet and brilliant people attending, mingling and nerding out it was great to see old friends, new faces and some that I've previously only known via the internet 1314
Armin Reindl @arminreindl.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I know its not nearly as impressive as the hauls of some others and certainly bulked up by the sponsor perks, but I am nonetheless pretty satisfied with what I picked up at this years #DinoConUK 3507
Armin Reindl @arminreindl.bsky.social · 12/07/2026It's about damn time. Finally a paper going into the postcranial anatomy of the hoofed-crocodile Boverisuchus vorax from the Eocene of North America onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... you wouldn't believe how long I waited for something like this 04110

Armin Reindl @arminreindl.bsky.social · 03/05/2026We could really do with a redescription of Rimasuchus one of these days, partially because everytime that thing is discussed it is in the context of the Kenyan material which has repeatedly been stated to actually belong to Crocodylus thorbjarnarsoni 151

Armin Reindl @arminreindl.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Interesting moment where the trailer seems to feature what looks to be a pair of pseudosuchians? tho I can't quite put my finger on what type specifically given the theropods something more late Cretaceous seems plausible, so perhaps they are meant to be baurusuchids? 4233
Armin Reindl @arminreindl.bsky.social · 18/01/2026New paper just dropped finally describing a complete specimen of Dakosaurus maximus and what a beauty it is.
