Kinda miss having a place to digitally offload my mental thoughts. In a bad place today.

Hi, I’m Riley! I write bestsellers, talk ‘til my jaw hurts about paleontology, and sniff out fossils wherever I can find them. Check out my latest. 🌱 🦕 us.macmillan.com/author/riley...

The cover for Riley’s book The Last Days of the Dinosaurs: An asteroid, extinction, and the beginning of our world. It shows a half flesh, half skeletal T. rex

The weird scissor-toothed shark, Edestus and straight-shelled ammonites. Illustration for the forthcoming book. I don't know what the bubbles mean beyond the fact that I looks drawing them.

There’s something about this that feels different. I’m so excited.

Hi I don’t talk about my job but it seems there’s going to be a big deportation swipe going down tomorrow so this is important! Lush stores are safe havens. They are able to hold anyone seeking safety in their backroom if needed. We have signs telling us what to say/don’t say to ICE

New book: #Paleontology in Public - and it's 100% free to read! I contributed a chapter on the public history of #Spinosaurus, co-authored with @tattersdill.bsky.social, and also provided some Gertie-inspired cover art. Congrats to @chrismanias.bsky.social for getting this over the line!

The Paleo Party guest of the day is Homotherium! They're a Scimitar toothed cat, rather than a Saber toothed cat, and this is the species who just had intact cub mummy discovered! Age: 4 million to 12,000 years ago Location: Africa, Europe, Asia, North America #paleontology #paleoart #iceage

The Ashfall Fossil Beds site in Nebraska is famously known as “rhino 🦏🌋 Pompeii”. Teleoceras, barrel bellied, short-legged rhinos, tried to “weather the storm” when the Yellowstone Supervolcano erupted 12 mya and met their fate. 🔊 Listen now to episode #81: www.paleonerds.com/podcast/ashf...

Just to keep things ticking over while I wrestle with Christmas deadlines, here's #paleoart of the American mastodon, sans hair, for which there is virtually no fossil evidence. Mastodon were not denizens of cold climates, like mammoths, and they may have looked very different in life. #sciart

A large elephant-like animal wades through a misty swamp at sunset. The sky is orange with blue encroaching from above, against which large orange and red cypress trees stand out. White egrets fly around the mastodon, which has a grey-purple body and orange face. Its tusks curve into the air, while at its feet are projecting cypress "knees".

Camarasaurus and the red sun

A Camarasaurus standing in front of a slightly obscured red orange sun. Most of the piece is green. There is subtle striping on the dinosaur’s back. Its eyes are the same color as the sun.

I almost forgot this #FossilFriday. The T. rex at the Acad of Nat Sci is their biggest complete dinosaur mount, but in front of it is an "Ultrasauros" (Supersaurus) leg. You can already tell it dwarfs T. rex. Imagine the whole animal standing in front of it...

I called this piece "The Visitation" and features the infamous Spinosaurus aegyptiacus a tapejarid pterosaur that the adult won't believe the baby saw when they wake up. 13" x 38" prints are available for purchase on my website www.emmalerae.com

And adult Spinosaurus sleeps on a fallen log as dawn breaks in Cretaceous Africa. Sitting on the head of the adult is a baby Spinosaurus watching a tapejarid decide to land on the log right in front of them.

Detail image show the head of the adult Spinosaurus and the baby perched on top.

Predator-prey relationships from the fossil record that aren't very iconic, but very fascinating (IMO).🧵

Stomatosuchids are insane animals, Stomatosuchus in particular. The skull itself measures around 2 meters and by god I hope more material comes to light. #stomatosuchidae #sciart

A comparisson of the three known Stomatosuchids, croc-relatives with long, surfboard-like snouts. The smaller species are both part of the genus Laganosuchus, their skulls less than a meter long. The skull of Stomatosuchus, the largest form, is over twice that long and measures around 2 meters, taller than an adult human.

Day 5 of #50daysofchondrichthyan is the Hybodus, one of the most iconic extinct chondrichthyan with pairs of cephalic horns and fin spines. This animal is related to modern sharks and rays though its not a true shark #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #shark #Hybodus

Happy #FossilFriday! Sinoceratops is a centrosaurine ceratopsian from Campanian China, characterized in part by a series of at least 10 frill horns (epiossifications) that curl foward over the frill. It's also the only known ceratopsid from Asia!
