Chindesaurus bryansmalli, a basal predatory dinosaur from the Late Triassic of Arizona. Its holotype, a partial postcranial skeleton, was nicknamed "Gertie". Chindesaurus was classified as herrerasaurid, but recent analyzes recovered it as Tawa hallae relative.

If you're fond of telling your fellow Thanksgiving diners that the turkey is indeed a dinosaur, then I've got an infographic for you
From the hips to the wishbone to the wrist joint, a turkey features SCADS of dinosaurian traits visible right there on your Thanksgiving table. Print and share!

Just a fun picture of the juvenile T rex maxillae I helped excavated back during fieldwork with KU in 2017. The left maxilla has almost all the teeth still in their sockets!
Coolest part about the site was how it preserved the mega flora well enough for me to reconstruct the forest!

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Latest Cretaceous megaraptorid theropod dinosaur sheds light on megaraptoran evolution and palaeobiology - Nature Communications
Megaraptoran theropod dinosaur anatomy and evolution is unclear due to the fragmentary nature of most available fossils. Here the authors report a well-preserved, late surviving megaraptoran from Argentina that clarifies our understanding of the morphology of this group and potentially provides insights into its diet and feeding strategies.
