Lapsed geochemist and science teacher turned stay-at-home dad. I draw bones of dead things.
It's World Crocodile Day and I conveniently just finished my skeletal of Deinosuchus hatcheri, a gigantic crocodylian (or near crocodylian) from Campanian Laramidia. This has been in the works for a long time and it feels good to have it done.

Here's an update on my Deinosuchus skeletal. Nearly all the bones are done, just gotta finish the skull detailing and the osteoderms. Also the back leg. But theoretically in the home stretch. #paleontology #Deinosuchus #paleoart

This might be one of my favorite diagrams I've made, a multiview diagram of the holotype of Parasaurolophus cyrtocristatus, the best hadrosaur. It was a fun to figure out how best to represent multiple views. #paleoart #fossilfriday

We all know that #Deinosuchus is a giant crocodylian, but how giant was it? This diagram shows the largest and smallest estimates for AMNNH 3073 to appear in scientific literature over the last 25 years, plus an estimate based on my WIP skeletal. #paleoart #paleontology

Some more #paleoart, this is a diagram I threw together for my wife when she needed some visualizations for teaching homologous structures and evolution. Took a bunch of skulls from completed projects and some WIPs and added in a couple horrible mammal skulls. #sciart

#Torosaurus skulls, laid out approximately in stratigraphic order. Torosaurus is a large, controversial chasmosaurine with two? species from the American west. I've got a few more chasmosaurine skeletals to post and I have a few more I'd like to work on over the year. #paleontology #paleoart

First post here, I've got some new skeletals to share, but wanted to drop this WIP - I've been (slowly) updating my Deinosuchus diagrams from the ground up. Here are three specimens of the western species: TMM 43620-1, AMNH 3073, and TMM 43632-1.
