A female Gideonmantellia pauses for a moment to watch over her young. She is an attentive mother, and although the chicks are capable of feeding and fending for themselves, during the early stages of their growth they will be accompanied and watched over by their parents

Was sent a copy of the Dr Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs by @palaeogames.bsky.social!
It's basically a PF2-compatible dinosaur bestiary, in case you felt your games needed more dinosaurs (which they do)
This aint sponsored or anything, just wanna show off some of the art cause this rocks

@hankgreen.bsky.social Mars Life - there are some really good examples of bacterial bodyfossils preserved in goethite (an iron oxyhydroxide) after gregite/pyrite/mackinawite that can be used as an example of what could be found on Mars. Checkout my open access paper on it: tinyurl.com/2z8jcymw

Not counting today, FOUR DAYS until #DinoConUK. Tickets will be on sale for one or two more days for what's guaranteed to be the UK's - almost certainly Europe's - largest dinosaur-themed event since the end of the Cretaceous. Info: www.dinocon.co.uk

Our next speaker for #DinoConUK is Tess Gallagher!
Tess is a paleobiologist specialising in #sauropod integument. Her research began when she uncovered a ~75cm piece of Diplodocus skin while volunteering for the Elevation Science Institute. #Diplodocus skin has since been her main research subject.

Ornithischians in general, and smaller species in particular, need more love. So here are these two reconstructions from my licensing library. They will also appear in the awesome, upcoming @palaeogames.bsky.social Professor Primula's Portfolio of Palaeontology roleplaying supplement
