A group of heavyset, sprawling Protoceratops stand amid a tangle of vegetation on a stony hill.

A striding stegosaur with a striking yellow and black pattern and low, squared-off plates.

Two red and blue Allosaurus with dumpy, pear-shaped torsos and slim but defined muscles tear into the carcass of some largely unseen green dinosaur.

A brown, sleek pterosaur with narrow and sharpely defined wings soars high above a sandy lagoon. A red crab struggles in its mouth and numerous other pterosaurs fly or walk about in the background.

Today’s four random pieces of palaeoart:

Zdenek Burian’s Protoceratops, Brian Franczak’s Wuerhosaurus, Richard Orr’s Allosaurus, and Michael Berenstain’s Pterodactylus!

thank you for reading this thread! link to the paper is here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24836614/

have a happy April everyone! (4/4)

because various wing fossils in extremely detailed preservation allowed the team to reconstruct the sounds stridulation would have made! you can hear the reconstruction below: (3/4)

Hex hepta is an enisferan from China that clades at the base of Hagliodea, making it a very important step in our understanding of sound production in enisferans much like it's relative Archaboilus musicus, why you ask? well... (2/4)

I was given the honour of illustrating the press release art of the new basal enisferan: Hex hepta! described by 初音＆重音, (2026)

Its honestly fascinating and also kinda wonderful to see alot of paleoartist of your generation or the younger ones showing up so consistently in the conceptart department, for so many modern Paleo related projects. Especially the docs.

Well, I can deny it no longer
I did a little work for Surviving Earth ;)

Now with a closer look at the concept art that I made ;)

I am very happy and proud I could be part of the process and hope I can contribute a little more in the future in similar productions ^^

Screenshot of Dimetrodon from Surviving Earth and the concept art of it

Screenshots of baby Ischiguastia and my concept art of it

As the time to talk #SurvivingEarth nears, I wanted to say that I’m extremely proud to have been part of the amazing team who worked on it

I was commissioned by Tim Haines (producer of Walking with Dinosaurs) and his team, to create the concept art for MANY animals for this project!

Reconstruction of Spinosaurus mirabilis walking

Reconstruction of Spinosaurus mirabilis, S. aegyptiacus, Ichthyovenator, Irritator and Baryonyx all walking next to the sillouette of a ca. 1.8 m tall human

You all know I had to do it. Here is my reconstruction of the newly described Spinosaurus mirabilis, including its magnificent scimitar-shaped head crest

Progress goes swimmingly

A Dromornis couple, a female with flowers and a male with a rock, and a Perucetus couple dancing together for valentines.

Ok one more Valentine’s post! (Mainly because the salsa version of “Die with a Smile” has been glued to my brain from the superbowl lol).

Perucetus & Dromornis.

It’s apparently World Whale Day, so I introduce you to the Indo-Pacific finless porpoise. Supposedly, it can click up to 200 times/second to find prey in murky waters. There are other species of finless porpoise in the same genus, but all are threatened.

Belated #valentinesday post but heres dragon couples and also some paleoart pieces from a while back
Dragons: Syrax and Caraxes
Vermithor and Silverwing
Balerion, Meraxes and Vhagar
Seasmoke and Tessarion
Vermax and Moondancer
Carolina parakeets
Pair of Sinornithosaurus
Pair of Pachycostasaurus

Been itching to refine these sketch ideas, started off with african wild dog and then i just kept going, i feel like a komodo dragon needs to be added too

remember back when we all doodled the current thing for warmups? we could bring that back, maybe, that was fun

No blunt.

Where's the blunt Joschua???

Art commission for James Stryker! one of the few depictions of mine whose colors weren't suggested by claude lol

Amargasaurus #paleoart

Had lots of fun delivering the @sicb-dcb-dvm.bsky.social Carl Gans award lecture yesterday at @sicb.bsky.social #SICB2026! Grateful to have the support of so many incredible colleagues in comparative biomechanics.

A pile of #lystrosaurus cuddled up in the underbrush!🧡🌿

Zhongjianosaurus yangi, Yutyrannus huali, Hongshanornis longicresta and Gegepterus changi

New art is arrived !

A large Yutyrannus is being cleaned up by a group of Hongshanornis. A curious Gegepterus approaches.
In the foreground, a Zhongjianosaurus seems interested in the small birds.

I am running in the Palaeontological Association Council Elections, as an Early-Career Research Officer & Meetings Co-ordinator🏅If you are a member of the PalAss, and want me to be part of the council, maybe cast a vote or two? I'd love to fulfill the Early Career position 🤞

My cabbages!

An aurochs has broken into a vegetable garden. While curious kids and domesticated cattle watch, a courageous farmer attempts to chase it away.

This scene takes place in Poland around 1400 AD.

I can finally share this!!! a huge Thanks to both @skyemcdavid.com and @zhejiang0pterus.bsky.social for allowing me to do a Nyctosaur for this poster!!!

A scene depicting the Patagonian scrubland in the early morning, dotted with araucarias and framed by foggy mountains in the background. A pair of Macrauchenia, four guanacos and a patagonian mara are seen among the grass. A Megatherium walks by further away and a crested caracara flies over the scene.

Foggy morning in Late Pleistocene Patagonia.

Oh, that's so not the official #Framestore I tagged there, oops

I'm a bit late to the party with these, but here are the newly described Nanotyrannus lancensis and Nanotyrannus lethaeus, friend-shaped as ever!
