My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
In 2022 Jason Osborne and I reconstructed the Early Oligocene toothed whale Ediscetus osbornei, and here is the artwork I created for Jason. The two Ediscetus are chasing a school of Spanish mackerel.

The third and final Severn Estuary painting (2022), this time showing the Late Devonian. "Denizens of the Beach and Copse" features a group of Elginerpeton, an Ichthyostega, fungi, slime moulds, algae, rhyniophytes, lycopsids, equisetids, & others.
New review: Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a concise, well-structured, and beautifully illustrated book that transcends being "merely" good popular science by also addressing professional palaeontologists.

Here's Western Interior Seaway mural 3, which I painted in 2021 for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, USA. Featured are a school of Apsopelix fish, Squalicorax battling an octopod, and a Tusoteuthis with blue bioluminescence.
And I wrote this very silly poem about why Ankylosaurus is the best dinosaur:

One last Platecarpus painting, from the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, USA (I supplied them with four murals and three illustrations for graphics boards).
Hello there, it's time for my #introduction
I'm a #french #Cosplay Photographer, based in #strasbourg
As a pro photographer, I'm working with my clients to create the best pictures about their cosplays, fitting the mood and the universe they like.
I mainly express myself in french about backstages, photo courses and challenges.
I share my passions about #cinema #popculture #scifi #reading #geek and of course #dinosaurs

Not my favourite kind of work, sewing many small parts together. Fixed them with a fix number of colourful pins per body part, so I don't accidently forget to remove one. Safety first, when creating toys for children. Prior crocheted animals were stitched together without placing the parts first, but the result looks more nice this way.
*Drumroll*... review #500! The Future of Dinosaurs is a fresh take on pop-palaeo that flips the script by charting the limits of our knowledge.

Amazed at the amount of Morrison formation eggshell and hatchling material discussed in this talk. I had no idea there was so much from the Morrison formation; somehow I'd thought there was much less eggshell material from the Morrison.

Had forgotten @Paleojim had an account here, so now I'm tagging him.
T-Rex is closer to us in time, than to Stegosaurus.
Stegosaurus: c. 152-145 million years ago.
Tyrannosaurus-Rex: c. 68-66 million years ago.
Hi everyone!
I am a vertebrate #paleontology PhD student at the University of Portsmouth, UK
My research is centered around the #biomechanics and functional morphology of extinct animals.
I study the locomotion of #pterosaurs and #dinosaurs, specifically focusing on the semi-aquatic theropod #Spinosaurus
