Zdenek Burian’s Tarbosaurus is an icon of classic dinosaur artwork. In a strange twist of fate, I actually think this painting might have been more widely reproduced and copied than any single pre-Jurassic Park T.rex. I still see that unmistakable silhouette pop up in dinosaur media and merchandise!
A painting of an upright, fierce-looking green tyrannosaurid dinosaur standing before a cloudy sky. It has a rough skin texture covered in small nodules and folds and its teeth are exposed like those of a crocodile. Its tail sweeps behind it as it looks off to its right, as if eyeing potential prey. The surrounding environment is dry and sandy with scattered stones. Small trees resembling palmettos and cedars dot the landscape. The lightly vegetated horizon is low, making the dinosaur look especially towering and regal.

The Homo erectus/ Paranthropus tracks found in 2024 were probably my favorite paleo news of the year

Chauvet Cave was discovered on the 18th December 1994.
30 years ago today. To many it is the most arresting expression of cave art in the archaeological record & it is one of the oldest examples in Europe.
Here are four of my highlights.

For cat lovers everywhere, no less than 15 big cats, cave lions?, lionesses?, in black outline on the beige limestone rock. All are looking left, their attention utterly caught by the bison and bear drawn there. There is so much energy in their attentiveness, as if about to move. Some close superimposition of cat profiles hints at animation A large pendant of stalactite drops down from the cave roof. On it is drawn the lower half of a female figure taking in the wider part of the stal as her belly, black charcoal outlines sketching her tapering legs and pubic hair. From the right, also in black, a bison in profile is superimposed on the left flank of the female, by its leg appears to merge with her leg. the single eye of the bison appear coincident with the position of the belly button of the female. Ambiguity in showing human forms directly does seem to be a part of Aurignacian and later European cave art. At least 10 Woolly Rhinos, in black outline on the beige limestone rock. At the top four look closely superimposed giving an impression of animated movement. Finally the famous, beautiful image of four horses, all facing left drawn in black outline on the beige limestone with yellow ochre paint to the rear. The person, or people, who drew these, captured something so essential in the nature of the horse, as with so many Chauvet animals there is empathy/sympathy here.

The "new" track ways of paranthropus, homo erectus and storks is such a cool discovery. I can't help but notice that it reminds me of dinosaurs and cavemen. This would have made young earther me go wild
Homo erectus footprint vs. Paranthropus boisei footprint. Notice how erectus have more efficient foot shape 3D scan of Homo, Paranthropus and Stork footprints I know it definitely didn't happen, but I LOVE cavemen fighting dinosaurs.
