photo of my finished drawing of Sue the T. rex on a table at the airport. They had surprisingly good chili cheese fries there, which as we all know are the ultimate in art fuel. I kinda fucked up the placement on the page, this was much harder to draw than expected. I kept getting sweaty too which I only realized the next day when I woke up with a fever was probably me actually being sick and not knowing it. I should go back and draw this again when I am not sick and do a better job!!!

I was drawing in the museum until they closed(thats why it looks empty above) so I had to finish it up at the airport. I've wanted to see Sue in person since I was a kid so this was a dream come true.

Because I haven't finished them

I am tired of talking about taxonomic debates on specific group of predatory dinosaurs

Although Lee et al. 2026 was great paper and I really enjoyed reading it, there are still lots of Jinju Formation plant fossils to study

고생물학에 관심을 가지고 매니아가 된 후 정보를 찾는 경로는 다양하다. 책을 통해 정보를 찾기도 하고, 인터넷 사이트들을 찾기도 하고, 논문을 보는 사람들도 있고, 유튜브를 통해 정보를 찾기도 한다.

하지만 믿을 수 있는 정보와, 받아들일 가치가 없는 정보 중 무엇이 옳고 그른지를 검증하는 것은 어려운 일이다. (1/n)

My iPad, physical journal of JVP 44(4) and my business card, all featuring my Infernodrakon life reconstruction

Life reconstruction of the Infernodrakon, hunting Didelphodons

#Sciart #Paleoart #Pterosaur Infernodrakon life reconstruction, which I did for @zhejiang0pterus.bsky.social et al. (2025)

It seems like Pseudofrenelopsis, after comparing with recently published paper.

2026 will be a year of the Jinju Formation.

Nowadays, the idea is mainstream, has been supported by lots of additional data, and is widely accepted. But papers like that linked to above still feel like a win given some of the responses we got at the time.

It's perhaps worth stressing that, when Darren and I started work on what became the "azhdarchid terrestrial stalking" paper - Witton and Naish 2008 - two decades ago, the idea that pterosaurs spent a lot of time on the ground, let alone foraged terrestrially, was very controversial.

New large pterosaur tracks from Korea and their implications on terrestrial behavior - Scientific Reports Pterosaurs were important components of Mesozoic ecosystems, occupying diverse ecological niches from the Late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous. Among them, neoazhdarchians have been hypothesized...

New paper: possible track evidence of a small reptile or salamander being pursued by an azhdarchid-like pterosaur. Validation of the Witton and @tetzoo.bsky.social model of azhdarchid foraging? Maybe.

Always good to see another papers about fossil records of the Jinju Formation. Not only trackways, brief report of pterosaur swimming traces from the same formation is present, which was only mentioned in thesis. Stay tuned for more Jinju Formation papers, including my work...

It is the first time I have touched the 'sacred' physical copy of JVP 44(4) in the office! I don't own that one, but it doesn't matter right now. Even back of my business card is with the best pterosaur.

Congratulations!

Might as well share this one again for #PortfolioDay...

Would they even pay attention like this if new cranial material of ~2 meters long small ornithopod (previously described) has been discovered and reported? Perhaps not

It may different case from Haolog, I believe this happened because familiar image has changed after the publication of new paper.

I've never seen some people severely angry this level about new publication of any specific ornithopod before...

I understand you're not used to new reconstruction presented in the new paper, but this is not a something to be that upset about. Science is NOT ruining paleontology. This is how our knowledge are expanded by new discoveries.
