Can you specifically ask him why he decided to identify a nearly complete mosasaur skeleton as Plesiosaurus and also not return the specimen to the museum he borrowed it from that one time😭

21st century retrosaurs 8. Megapterygius wakayamaensis

A mosasaur chasing a hesprerornithine near the sea floor, next to a grove of sea grass, a school of ammonites, and a reptile skeleton, while two large fish loom above in the background.
The mosasaur has very big flippers, a dorsal fin, and is lined with triangular scales.

Did someone say it's #WorldGorillaDay? The Academy of Natural Sciences' western lowland gorilla diorama is the only one of its kind in the world — other dioramas either use mountain gorillas or zoo specimens. Du Chaillu's original expedition was also sponsored by the Academy.

Quick 1-hour illustration of the newly described Kayrasaurus! Therizinosaurs are super interesting and I don't spend enough time drawing them. #sciart #paleoart

A dryptosaur drags a baculitid ammonite shell down the beach - it is a long way to his bower, but a centrepiece like this will be worth the hassle. Trying out different styles for a book proposal I am working on!

Today's four random pieces of palaeoart: Charles Knight's Coryphodon, Dan Varner's Brachauchenius, Marianne Collins' Smilodon, and @mrtroodon.bsky.social's Therizinosaurus!

A pair of hippo-like, grey-skinned Coryphodon stand on a grassy lakeshore. The calm waters of the lake stretch out across the hazy horizon.

A Brachauchenius soars over sun-dappled sand as it closes in on a squid. The squid is releasing a cloud of ink in a futile attempt to save itself.

A pair of muscular sabre-toothed cats rest atop a rocky ridge beside a gnarled little tree. One stretches deeply, nearly dragging its belly on the ground, and the other yawns. Behind, a great expanse of dry grasses extends towards distant mountains.

A scaly Therizinosaurus brandishes its long claws at the viewer as it strides across a sparsely vegetated desert. Its green and sandy-brown skin is covered in a mix of scale textures and deep folds and wrinkles.

Ok, time for a thread about what I saw yesterday at #CrystalPalace. As you can see, just about everything has been repaired and re-painted, and in places (like the previously misidentified Xiphodon) re-positioned. It looks fantastic and you have to check it out, even if you've visited before...

Today’s four random pieces of palaeoart: Luis Rey’s Deinonychus, Doreen Edwards’ Allosaurus, Charles Knight’s Mammuthus, and William Scheele’s Eusthenopteron!

A Deinonychus with grey and black streaked feathers charges at the viewer, arms spread and foot poised to deliver a kick. Its head is partially covered in a red, wattled skin.

A green Allosaurus with a yellow, snake-like belly and long, dragging tail stands in a forest clearing. A diverse array of leafy foliage sprouts up around it, and several trees with chocolate brown trunks close the scene behind.

A herd of mammoths with fur of mixed brown shades march across a snowy landscape, emerging from a conifer forest. The herd contains mammoths of several sizes and ages, including a tiny calf.

A blue-scaled Eurhenopteron hauls itself onto a rocky shore, curving its thick body into a sinuous curve as it strains with its fleshy fins.

A digital illustration shows a large Tyrannosaurus rex walking through a forest of giant redwood trees. Sunlight streams through the canopy and the dinosaur’s head is lifted up towards the light.

I have a dream video game where you play as the vengeful spirit of the Spinosaurus holotype destroyed during the bombing of Munich, and inspired by Stromer (who was strongly against the Nazis) goes John Wick against the entire Nazi party, hunting them down at various historical locations.

New at #Patreon: #paleoart of Cretaceous fireflies and #Spinosaurus mirabilis. Fireflies have existed for 100 million years and, thanks to some cool science, we know what colours they illuminated themselves with. Details (+ more new art) at www.patreon.com/markwitton. #dinosaur #fossil #art

Spinosaurus mirabilis, the newly-described tall-crested Spinosaur variant, wanders past a rivebank covered with tiny, dark-green glowing insects. She's seen this show before, so pays no attention. The Moon, conversely, is watching intensely. REAL intensely. Like, back off a bit, guy, give the bugs some space.

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
