artwork depicting the titanosaur diamantinasaurus stood on the bank of a shallow pool, reaching up to grab a tree branch. a small crocodylomorph in the pool watches judgementally

a figure showing multi-level browsing behaviour for diamantinasaurus, high-browsing for brachiosaurus, low-browsing for amargasaurus (i believe), and grazing for brachytrachelopan

happy #fossilfriday! bonus: this is diamantinasaurus, a titanosaur from late cretaceous australia. in 2025, it became the first sauropod to have fossilised gut contents described, providing evidence of bulk feeding and multi-level browsing behaviour

an artistic depiction of the raptorial radiodont lyrarapax

a fossil and figure of the fossil of the holotype of lyrarapax

happy #fossilfriday! this is lyrarapax, a radiodont from middle cambrian china. incredibly, the holotype preserves details of the animal’s nervous system, indicating that their raptorial frontal appendages were protocerebral, as was its labum

a life reconstruction of 3 isodapedon, with a proterochampsid in the background

a figure from the paper showing the phylogenetic position of isodapedon, and just as interestingly, strongly suggesting that hyperodapedon is a paraphyletic assemblage, and that only the type species (h. gordoni) should be considered valid

new rhynchosaur named 🥳 a warm welcome to isodapedon varzealis, described by schiefelbein et al. from the santa maria formation of late triassic brazil!

It's a pain finding ref of goat horns from the back, especially these kinds. So I am posting these if anyone would like to add them to their files. #goat #artreference #reference
