Wanted to make a quick 'introduction' post for bluesky: Hello! I'm an ameteur paleoartist, drawing various extinct dinos, crocs, inverts and other stuff. I also often make various illustrative diagrams like skeletals, maps and phylogenies. 🐊🦴

(I don't do comms btw)

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Here you have a loving pair of Deinonychus (a dromaeosaurid dinosaur) and a cute pair of Sinomacrops (an anurognathid pterosaur)

These are available for sale. If you are interested in them, DM me

Despite tyrannosaurids usually being associated with their small, didactyl (two-fingered) hands, they weren't the first, and only, clade of non-avian #theropods to develop this feature: 🧵

One of the most important #trilobite species: Triarthrus eotoni #fossils from the Beecher's Trilobite Bed, New York, show incredible preservation, with preserved gills & antennae known, including the specimen below:

A family of the scimitar-toothed cat Homotherium latidens, including two cubs. Concept sketch done as resquested by patron Ben Corey, who as a patron in the Deinonychus and upper tiers can request a taxon for me to sketch every 3 months

Here the result of tonight's formation stream! Corral Bluffs is a locality of the Denver formation that has become more and more important in recent years as it has yielded a huge number of important fossils that were deposited not even a million years after the K-Pg extinction.

Here the results of our Rio do Rasto formation stream! A very relaxing piece to do after the high stakes of Hell Creek. This formation is mid Permian in age and preserves a bunch of weirdos from Brazil.

Titanosarcolites giganteus is a very large and unique species of extinct #bivalve from the Late Cretaceous of North America & the Caribbean.
T. giganteus was a rudist, an order of weird, reef-building bivalves which went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous.

Ok, another Mexidracon thread because I find this critter just fascinating.
In our latest stream I tried to illustrate my point further by showing the proposed sediment probing behavior I assume for this animal.

For #FossilFriday, here's some #paleoart of a casual afternoon in the Early Cretaceous Wealden group, with iguanodonts, tyrannosauroids, polacanthids and sauropods making a mess of a watering hole. The mashed-up muds left by these animals can be found to this day in Wealden rocks. #dinosaurs #sciart

Late #FossilFriday post: Asterolepis is a diverse genus of Devonian antiarch placoderm (armored fish). Similar to its close relatives, Asterolepis had a round body, elongate pectoral fins and a small head with which it would consume small seafloor detritus.
