Despite being ill I think this first formation #paleostream of the year turned out pretty good.
The Upper Elliot Formation from the early Jurassic of South Africa is an important piece for our understanding of sauropod evolution but beyond that it's just a really cool assemblage...

Flocking! This was time we speculated on what we hope gets discovered in 2026.

other #paleostream sketches: 100% real photo of a living Appalachiosaurus; longneck Lijiangosaurus; and Gerrothorax, the toilet.

Here's what I did for #Paleostream with Lijiangosaurus and Appalachiosaurus.

Just in time cause it's the last Flocking of 2025!!

Appalachiosaurus half body sketch. Tried full-body and I hated it.

Appalachiosaurus, Lijiangosaurus, Teraterpeton (a homage to the giant lizard from One Million Years BC cause this guy reminded me of the time monster movies just used actual lizards) and a sneaky Gerrothorax for this week's #paleostream

First Flocking Together of 2026

This flocking was essentially taxon we would like to see described this year.

Speculative Early Carboniferous radiodont, meet Arthropleura-sized house centipede.

The first flocking #Paleostream of 2026: speculative new discoveries that we hope to see this year. Intermediate/half-way-there pterosaur, ancestral bat, late-surviving radiodont, and arthropleura-size house centipede were the chosen prompts, which were all very fun to ponder and draw.
Four black-and-white pencil sketches of speculative prehistoric creatures, all hopeful wishes for new discoveries to be announced in the upcoming year. In the top left is a transitional/ancestral pterosaur, still rather lagerpetid-like and possessing a relatively short fourth finger, but taking off with a quad launch by the forelimbs. In the top right is a very shrew-like ancestral bat, holding a click beetle larva in its hand and jaws. In the bottom left is a vaguely horseshoe-crab-like late-surviving radiodont, crawling along the Carboniferous mud while a smaller Microsaur inspects it. In the bottom right an arthropleura-size, aquatic House Centipede rears up and to the side after being spooked by a large Sebecid, somewhere in Paleocene Africa.

On the first #paleostream of the year we had a "things to wish for in 2026" theme:
Proto pterosaur, proto bat, late Devonian radiodont and Arthropleura sized house centipede!

Merry after Christmas, this year I got @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social #Paleostream 2, and it is an absolute delight to look at and read!

Manipuloyx, a new alvarezsaur with really fascinating hands!
The condition of the fingers isn't that unusual for the clade but the OSTEODERMS on the hand are new!
