I use inordinate ammount of time studying anatomy. I justify this by telling myself that its all in the name of being better at my craft but in all honesty I just really really enjoy it. pierolapithecus.

thought I update the Velociraptor head model and ended up getting curious and editing the mesh to a Shri rapax head that I gave a slightly different texture too on stream :3 #art #paleoart #cretaceous

I’m glad NPR included skeptical voices - because de-extinction is a dangerous fantasy - but we’ve seen this before. Colossal dangles a story/access, journalists take it and say other researchers have criticisms, and nothing changes save for an update to the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Mammoth! timeline

So, after teasing us with the press release for the last few hours, the new 'Nanotyrannus is valid, like pretty convincingly this time' paper is Finally online!!! #paleontology #tyrannosaurus #taxonomy www.nature.com/articles/d41...

T. rex debate settled: contested fossils are smaller rival species, not juveniles
New evidence answers the question about whether some fossils are Tyrannosaurus rex juveniles or a different species, with implications for decades of published science.

#Zavacephale. A very pretty new pachycephalosaur from early Cretaceous Mongolia. 🥰
Brown pencil sketches of the dome-headed dinosaur, Zavacephale. The main sketch is of the animal sitting down, seen in near-three-quarter view from behind, its head turned slightly towards the viewer. A smaller sketch repeats the same posture but in side view. A profile sketch of its head completes the set of studies.
