From 2019, for #FossilFriday, here's a flock of Jeholopterus wheeling and whirling around the early evening air for Jurassic midges. Anurognathids like this were among the most unusual of #pterosaurs, a result of whole-body specialisations to insect hawking. #paleoart #sciart

From 2019, #paleoart of the asteroid-induced tidal wave that crashed into the southern coast of the United States at the end of the Cretaceous period. It's probably not shown large enough here, even though it dwarfs the giant titanosaur Alamosaurus. #sciart #paleontology #extinction

For #valentinesday and #FossilFriday, here's Tyrannosaurus engaging in face biting, a behaviour evidenced from numerous tooth gouges and puncture wounds in their skulls. Among living species, face biting is strongly correlated with the onset of sexual maturity, so this image is love-adjacent, sorta.

Fresh out of the oven, some new #paleoart for #FossilFriday: mother Coelodonta antiquitatis hurries along her offspring, Bort, who spent too long looking for a personalised novelty licence plate on the mammoth steppe. "Come along, Bort!", she says. #fossil #Iceage #paleontology

Some new #paleoart of Iguanodon for #FossilFriday. Iguanodon recently passed its 200th naming anniversary and it's been drawn to death (it was - and I've done the maths on this - by far the most popular dinosaur subject of the 19th century), but it's still a cool animal to paint. #sciart #fossil

this post is the best encapsulation of what it’s like watching DOGE play out in our government, but the part people seem to miss is that all of this isn’t a mistake
they want to destroy the functionality of the government in this way so they can pick up the pieces in their back pocket

I've been away, so am late to welcome folks fleeing X. For newbies: Hi, I'm Mark, I research, illustrate and write about extinct life, especially #dinosaurs and #pterosaurs. I'm known for my #paleoart and have consulted on, and designed creatures for, lots of your favourite dinosaur documentaries.

You don't see what I was implying because you haven't picked up on the fact that I'm not from the states.
And - despite serving in the military, assumedly going into missions across the seas, you are still somehow an idiot.

Please welcome the new pterosaur Skiphosoura bavarica from the Late Jurassic of Europe
This amazing darwinopteran is known from an incredibly complete fossil, largely preserved in 3D! Needless to say I was SUPER excited when @davehone.bsky.social commissioned me to reconstruct this amazing animal!
