I am excited to announce that I am collaborating with the NDGS to investigate Dakota the dino mummy for color patterning and cellular preservation! but we need your help to continue this research🫵. Check the link in replies 🦕🔬

Common Trees of the Seridic Swamps! These might all get profiles (depends on time before the episode), but if nothing else, wanted to put this together. Shows more or less average specimens, but some like the village cypress can get a LOT bigger.

sjpp.springeropen.comManouria morla sp. nov., the Ancient One: an Early Miocene large tortoise from the Swamps of Ahníkov, Czechia - Swiss Journal of PalaeontologyTortoises (Testudinidae) are a clade of turtles highly specialized to terrestrial environments, mainly living in semi-arid conditions. Herein, we present Manouria morla sp. nov., a new species of the genus Manouria, which is considered to be the most basal extant testudinid genus. The studied material comes from the Ahníkov I fossil site, formerly known as Merkur or Merkur-North, located in the Most Basin in NW Bohemia (Czechia), dated to the Early Miocene (Burdigalian, MN 3). Manouria morla sp. nov. is the oldest member of the Manouria lineage, which nowadays inhabits SE Asia only, and therefore its biogeography and plausible European origin are discussed. The specific type of multiplication of plastral scutes in the inguinal region is discussed as a new morphological character diagnostic for the genus. Based on zoological studies, specific environmental requirements of the genus Manouria allow us to use this taxon as a proxy for the paleoclimate reconstruction of the Ahníkov I fossil site which suggests a broadleaf evergreen tropical wet forest. The simplified use of fossil testudinids as a proxy for reconstructing semi-arid palaeoclimate is therefore disproven.

Hatchling vs lightning, here’s illustration I made for the paper “Fatal accidents in neonatal pterosaurs and selective sampling in the Solnhofen fossil assemblage” by Smyth et al., 2025. Paper below👇

It's finally here! 😍 Everyone's favorite hadrosaur, painstakingly rendered with ink and brush by the unparalleled Natee @himmapaan.bsky.social, has now joined Sinosauropteryx in my collection. Go full-size and zoom...the details are finer than my fingerprints, conjuring a world from a silhouette. 🖤

An incredible experience today. The Agami Heron is a very rare species and one that's difficult to see. But today I made a new friend who discovered a rookery with over 300 of these incredible birds that are on a new property he bought. Agami Island #CostaRica #birds #nature #herons #heron

Apparently, it was #DinosaurDay, which also coincides with the beginning of #Pride month, so yay for us LGBTQ+ dino folk. Though really, every day is Dinosaur Day. 🦕🦖 I don't think I've posted this older Deinonychus drawing here. From 2019, the tail end of the days Before Covid.

Taking on a Carboniferous journey. Need to challenge myself tackling usually avoided subjects (insects and plants in particular). Notice how I skipped the landscape wideshot atm? I struggle with vegetation lol
