I use it all the time for things like textures. I'd also recommend the Nature Picture Library - photos are lower res, but a variety of photographers and they're usually wild/natural environment shots

Have you ever used Joel Sartore's/National Geographic's The Photo Ark? It's great for that kind of thing

Saw this on FB just now

Henry Sharpe's recent paper on exoparia is a great example of just how relevant histology can be to making #paleoart

They must've been laminated or something last year because I still have my tags from the last 2 years back at home but frustrated with how unprofessional it looks to have a torn name tag. Metal lanyard clips are shredding it! #2025SVP #SVP2025

This is really nicely done. The lighting makes your details sing

I FORGOT KULINDADROMEUS. I think you could put it's tail integument safely within the "weirdly armored/banded" category

Those ventral brick or rectangular rows of scales are present in: Juravenator, Triceratops, pelycosaurs, a ton of snakes/lizards, & crocodilians. It seems a common way to protect the often vulnerable underside of an animal, especially parts lower to the ground

A feature I don't think I've ever seen depicted in #paleoart, although I gave this New Mexico chasmosaur a speculative ring-scaled tail. It seemed a natural transition from the ventral brick-like rows of scales based on Triceratops

God damn this is amazing

Your best scene yet! I’ll give you a pass for it not being a sauropod THIS time 😉

Somewhere out there a 13-year-old boy is absolutely fuming in front of his keyboard over the Chuanjiesaurus anaensis-Analong chuanjieensis split

Hey Dr. Hone, I attempted to send an email to the Terrible Lizards podcast but it wouldn't go through. Can you please DM me your email or another way to contact?
