Today's aesthetic and #WordOfTheDay is mortichnia: fossilized death-marches of prehistoric creatures.
(Brought to you by @deanrlomax.bsky.social and his engaging new book The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs, which takes animals that died millions of years ago and brings them to life.)

Great talk by @deanrlomax.bsky.social and @bobnichollsart.bsky.social at the @morethanadodo.bsky.social last night. Was a bit outfaced by the queue for signing but got to have a wander round and look at the wonderful collection.

review: sharply focused on fossils offering direct evidence of behavior such as predation/reproduction ... Lomax employs a nicely conversational tone ... enhanced by Bob Nicholls' artist renditions that bring the text’s stories to life
