In a forest of conifers, a yellow-headed Lambeosaurus magnicristatus raises its red-margined cockscomb crest above a herd of brown-and red striped Corythosaurus, with its semicircular crest. They're all marching who-knows-where, and who even knows how the lambeosaur got there? He sure doesn't. Both these skulls should be basically public domain photographs, so far as I can tell.

They're moving in herds...they do move in herds.

Lambeosaurus in a sea of Corythosaurus going who-knows where in the Dinosaur Park Formation.

El 'taco

(psittacosaurus art commission :3)

a Dynamognathus has caught and is swallowing another salamander, the other salamander's tail whips around from the Dynamognathus' mouth. it's illuminated by a blacklight and parts of its patterning fluoresce in reaction to the uv light Dynamognathus is a huge plethodontid salamander from Tennessee, USA reaching potentially 43cm long, like other plethodontids it ancestrally lacks lungs and performed gas exchange over its skin, they lost their lungs as they modified the bone they use for breathing (the hyoid) into a ballistic tongue like a chameleon's tongue (although chameleons can still obviously breathe)

a Juxia walks infront of a thermal trail cam, it performs a Flehmen response (the lifting of the upper lip to expose the vomeronasal organ to the air) to better detect scents in the air, a predator or other Juxia may be nearby Juxia is an ancient kind of hornless rhino from asia which converged on a similar niche to giraffes, being a tall browsing animal using its prehensile lips (and most likely tongue) to help manuver food into the mouth

a Presbyornis swims along while being illuminatd by a blacklight, certain feathers on its head, and areas around its face fluoresce brighter, giving us a glimpse into what these birds look like in their native colour vision range Presbyornis is an relative of ducks part of its own branch of their grouping, it looked similar to a cross between a duck and a flamingo, with long legs for wading, but a long flat bill with a small downturned point at the end used to help dabbling, evidenced by trace fossils attributed to Presbyornis-like tracks in formations abundant with them

a Nimbacinus widens its jaw for a long yawn in the middle of the night, a black light causes its fur, skin, and teeth to fluoresce. its fur and skin reflect pinkish and blue light, while its teeth reflect a blueish green Nimbacinus is a relative of the thylacine (tasmanian tiger) that lived in Waanyi country, Australia (though it most likely had a larger range) during the late Oligocene to early Miocene. unlike the thylacine, it couldnt open its mouth nearly as wide, however, it made up for that in having an incredibly strong biteforce

here's what we sketched during this week's #Paleostream flocking

this week we sketched Dynamognathus, Juxia, Presbyornis, and Nimbacinus

I'm an amateur paleoartist from Taiwan obsessed with pterosaurs

This is your annual reminder that Moa are the ONLY dinosaurs to completely lose their forelimbs!

They only had a tiny shoulder remnant.

The New Hunter

#Neovenator salerii, the top predator of the Wessex Formation, and one of the initial experiments of the Allosauroids that would later become the carcharodontosaurids, the Kings of the Southern Hemisphere.

A "wartime" poster that says: "Using Generative AI? You're Prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead! Don't surrender your creativity to the Tech Billionaires' control!"

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.

Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here:

A colored-pencil drawing of a scene in a dense meadow, taking place in France during the late Pliocene. A Eucyon adoxus (a coyote-like canine) has stumbled upon the ground nest of an ancient partridge, Palaeocryptonyx donnezani. The mother is seen flying away in the background as the Eucyon has its nose nearly touching the six eggs in the nest, looking down at them. Tall green grass surrounds the nest and the sky is clear and bright blue.

In a lush meadow in France during the late Pliocene, a very fortunate Eucyon adoxus has stumbled upon a nest of Palaeocryptonyx donnezani, an ancient partridge. As the hen flies away in a panic, the canine has a clutch of six eggs all to itself for breakfast. #sciart #paleoart #pliocene #cenozoic

Well they ain’t getting any!
Btw amazing work as always petite :9

That morganucodon looks like it wants to trade me some cycad fruits and beetle elytra for a bite of my sandwich

a scar covered Xiphodracon swims in shallower water above a Solenopora jurassica reef, a large rolling wave sweeps above it Xiphodracon is a type of ichthyosaur (marine reptiles that looked like cetaceans but swam side to side like fish) which had a very long torso and long snout Solenopora jurassica is a type of pink jurassic algae which would've covered large areas of shallow water

my sona and an Ectoconcus lay down and sleep together on a bed, the Ectoconcus yawns Ectoconcus is one of the earliest ungulates we have, it would've appeared like a very genetic mammal with a boxy skull, long tail, and five toed feet with large nails resembling hooves at the tips

a Morganucodon pushes dirt out of the burrow it's currently constructing near the protection of some dried out ferns Morganucodon is a kind of mammaliform (animals that eventually gave rise to mammals) that could've fit into the palm of your hand, unlike mammals, the bones which form our ears are still attached to their jaw bones, meaning their ears werent as sensitive and wouldve been on the lower jaw, most likely without any pinnae present

an Atlascystis sifts through fine sediment for food during low tide using its many tube feet, a shallow depression left in its wake Atlascystis is an ancient kind of echinoderm that—unlike its modern—relatives was bilaterally symmetrical rather than radially symmetrical, all of its tube feet wouldve been at the front of the animal and would've been used for locomotion and food manipulation/foraging, it was only a centimetre long

here's what we sketched during this week's #Paleostream flocking!!!

this week we sketched Xiphodracon, Ectoconcus, Morganucodon, and Atlascystis

Wait did he shave it off???

Little bro never skips arm or leg days (u know cus he’s walks on them). Fr glad u like it!

Greetings from Spinosaurus mirabilis!

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a museum display of a megalodon jaw fossil, with some museum goers standing around it. There is a graphic on the information tablet next to the fossil, depicting the approximation of the megalodon’s full size compared to a human. Panel 2: “3.6 million years ago:” we see the true megalodon as it existed, a small shark with ludicrously large, juicy lips.

Humorous drawing in brown pencil of a Spinosaurus mirabilis with a laughing eyes and a sparkling scimitar crest exclaiming, 'I'm a unicorn!'

Whole heartedly agree! They’re such precious little flying gerbils

Here’s the first sketch of the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) that started it all too

Golden hour. A large snake the size of a python with a paddle-like tail emerges from under a carpet of floating ferns to breathe, briefly alarming a group of duck-like Presbyornis in her wake. Circling her with interest are shoals of smelt, bowfin, cutlassfish, eagle ray and sand tiger shark; investigating this newcomer to their brackish ocean.

A large Palaeophis tolapicus makes her way to the north pole to enjoy the Arctic summer.
