G'day folks

I've got some online talks lined up this coming month for Australian heritage festival

I'll be speaking with Adele Pentland and Sally Hurst in three online talks - where we've dug, palaeontology questions, and why Australovenator is the best thing out of Australia since VB 😉

They’ve only waited 120Ma.
A new glimpse into theropod diversity from Early Cretaceous Australia: megaraptorids, an unenlagiine, and for the first time, carcharodontosaurians.

AND HERE IT IS! It was really hard to not tell everyone because I knew for more than 2 years now. Please welcome Tameryraptor, a new name for Stromers carcharodontosaurid. Based on Stromers descriptions, drawings and newly found photographs the authors conclude...

Spending time with these old cronies, Megalosaurus and Cetiosaurus, in coming weeks. The Megalosaurus in this
#paleoart piece from 2020 is subtly different to how I might draw it now: I'd probably make it a little longer in snout and body, and maybe add a nasal crest. #sciart #dinosaurs

This is not a drill, a mummified sabretooth cat has been published from the #Pleistocene permafrost of Russia. It's a Homotherium cub! The team (Lopatin et al.) reckon it's Homotherium latidens. It's too young to have enlarged upper canines. Paper is OA ... www.nature.com/articles/s41... cont...
