After a few more small revisions my Barinasuchus skull reconstruction is finally done. Sculpted in #Blender, and here 3d printed at 1/6th scale.

For a while I had been working on and off on a head muscle study on my Gorgosaurus skull with the intent to make it into a reference guide for people. With the new dinosaur cheek paper that just came out I added the new ligament as well.

Instead of finishing existing projects, naturally I started sculpting a new skull instead. Here's a preview of the skull of Barinasuchus.

The fossil only has the front of the snout preserved. So, I'm basing the anatomy of the missing parts on Sebecus and other related taxa.

For #FossilFriday a replica of the holotype of Ostromia crassipes or previously known as Haarlem Archaeopteryx. There's quite a few rather nice feather impressions from the wing as well some fainter impressions near the leg.
Photo of a replica of the holotype of Ostromia crassipes. Photo of a replica of the holotype of Ostromia crassipes under low angle light to show the faint feather impressions. Several large feather tips are visible on the wing near the hand. Very faint impressions impressions of smaller fuzzy feathers are visible near the front of the lower leg.

Don't think I had shared this on Bluesky before. I sculpted a Lokiceratops rangiformis skull a while ago. Here's a 1/5 scale 3d print of it.

Hi! I'm an artist. I studied game art and my passion is science communication, specifically paleontology. I've prepped and scanned fossils, worked on various apps and games. Most recently as a personal project I've been sculpting various skulls in Blender and 3d printing them.
