You're one of my favorite scientists, but please don't come here, for your own safety.

A mountain explodes in the night of ancient New Mexico, in what will become the North Hall Formation. Great conifer trees and the drooping branches of a willow are silhouetted against an orange sky. Beneath, disturbed from their drink at the lake margin, two tyrant dinosaurs look at the disturbance. They turn to one another, not wanting to believe their eyes. _They are Tyrannosaurus, and they are next to a large active volcano_. A beat, and then the smaller animal whispers to her companion, "we are surely the victims of palaeoart cliche and stereotyping; some thoughtless hack has resurrected means of depicting us from the early 20th century. For while our compatriots in Hell Creek occur among volcanic ash from distant volcanic activity, what evidence is there that we, Tyrannosaurus, live next to great, mountainous volcanoes like those of vintage palaeoartworks?" He remains in silence momentarily, returning his eyes to the eruption. "Perhaps the problem", he eventually replies, "is that few read papers about geology when depicting awesome dinosaurs, so many artists don't think about where we actually live. The Hall Lake Formation is situated among volcanic uplands and also has an excellent record of plants and trees. We could have been drawn next to volcanoes for years with science on our side, but that information has been hidden in obscure, paywalled papers. No one knew that the old artists were right, if, admittedly, for the wrong reasons. They put volcanoes next to us because they thought they killed us." He smiles wryly at the thought. Thinking on his comment, she emerges from the water, a glimmer of hope in her eye. "Perhaps... things will be different now?", she asks. He looks at her as smoke belches from the moutainside. "Perhaps", he replies. They turn back to the eruption. Home at last.

Been working on King Tyrant promotional stuff today - continuing that with a #FossilFriday #paleoart post. Here's two T. mcraeensis (because of geography) alongside a motherflippin' volcano, because the old artists were right: SOME TYRANNOSAURUS ACTUALLY LIVED NEXT TO BIG VOLCANOES. #KABOOM! #sciart

I am so done with the bullshit in politics here rn. These deaths were unnecessary.

Hello #PortfolioDay
I’m Andy an artist who loves drawing big dead things (mostly dinosaurs). I’ve provided illustrations for museums, exhibitions and scientific papers and I’m looking for exciting projects for the second half of 2025. Find me at www.andyfrazer.com

A discussion on the illusion of "anatomical accuracy" in paleontology (in Italian, but with a [not always perfect] language translator button on top of page).

This should terrify every anti-fascist American. Considering Trump is now seriously talking about a third term, we can expect them to disappear citizens eventually.

If the "hinge" is far back, you can see the jaw muscles covered in oral tissue. If they're positioned more rostrally, the result is more cheek-like, e.g. uromastyx. So I was probably completely wrong here and indeed Sphenodon is probably the better reference like you say. Thanks for the discussion!

Like you were saying, the fact that dinosaurs had lizard-like lips makes them a better reference than other saurians, because this is probably a question of where the upper and lower labial scales meet over the jaws.

So after doing a lot of reading on lizard jaw muscles and looking at way too many lizard mouths, I have a theory of sorts for this: What actually matters is not the musculature, but how far back the "hinge point" of the lips goes.

I've been trying to figure out the implications for their appearance for the last few days. So far, the exoparia doesn't seem to change much beyond excluding a jugal horn. The way the rictus looks on lizards seems somewhat independent of the underlying muscles. Your illustration seems to still work
