The final portrait I could find from my time on WWD - Rose the Albertosaurus. All of these were done in early 2024, so about a year and a half ago now! #sciart #paleoart

#livefromthefield Work resumes on "Scorpio" the Lambeosaurus lambei whose quarry was reopened last year. While last year we collected the skull, this year the body blocks are revealing vast swaths of skin underneath! Exciting!

Dinosaur park my beloved. Excited to be back there in 2 weeks 🥰 For such a rich formation, big beautiful mural-style pieces like this one are not as common as I would like!

Published yesterday in @journalofanatomy.bsky.social with open access, we demonstrate how tiny slices of isolated bones (in this case, troodontid metatarsals) can provide a wealth of information on the growth, lifestyle, and injuries of these animals. (🧵) (Troodontid art by Henry Sharpe )

A troodontid with a pathologic metatarsal Iifts its foot towards its face to investigate. The pathologic bone is highlighted and features a red line to indicate where a thin section was taken. The thin section appears as aarge imags behind the troodontid, the troodontid's tail passing through the central medullary cavity.

It was an absolute dream come true being involved in this project alongside an awesome crew and seeing our Albertosaurus specimen brought to life! I hope you all love it! youtu.be/VAVp_1-Aqc8?...

#FossilFriday Check out this ankylosaurid osteoderm from Dinosaur Park! While these bones are famous for forming the thick armour of these animals, some osteoderms were really thin! This one is incredibly concave on the underside and less than a centimetre thick in most places

Even though I will be active here, I don't intend to stop posting on twitter. Maybe it's futile but I do feel like now more than ever, still having an active science community on an ever more polarized social media platform is important. Even if our impact and voice is small...

#fossilfriday Even though both dromaeosaurs and troodontids have the iconic "sickle" claw, the configuration of this structure can look quite different between the two! Here's some specimens from the Dinosaur Park Formation in lateral view for comparison
