Very excited to present the first ornithomimosaurs from Early Cretaceous of Germany. Artwork by @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social and the paper is OA:

With great pleasure I would like to introduce you to the first ornithomimosaur from Germany!
The fossils of this charming bugger are from Balve, a locality that preserves early Cretaceous fossils in a Devonian reef that had karstified already back then, giving us: cave dinosaurs

Happy easter, watch out for lagomorph-mimicking ornithopods. When in doubt, remember that eutherians don't lay eggs.

Anyone surprised this was going to happen?

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.
The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

In my opinion, we should consider a moratorium on more Late Cretaceous North America representation in animated paleontology documentaries, until other important settings like the Santa Maria or Elliot formations have received their deserved attention. The bias is becoming ridiculous. #WWD2025
