a pair of fearsome labokiwi attack a trio of tyrannosaurids and a large ceratopsid; the backdrop is a blood-red sky, appropriate for the carnage soon to be unleashing by the terrifying labokiwi

a skeletal also by hodari showing the known elements of labokiwi. it is extremely fragmentary

wow! a new study by glup and shitto has recovered the alleged mexican tyrannosaur labocania aguillonae as a giant early palaeognath with teeth, hereby renamed labokiwi aguillonae! mind-blowing stuff 🤯🦖 doi.org/10.1016/j.oneear.2025.101314

An illustration of the two-legged meat eating dinosaur, Tyrannosaurus rex.

I’ve recently finished a number of commissions and felt it was time to make something for my own enjoyment.

#Tyrannosaurus is always a joy.

Paleontology has an Epstein problem. Women in the field say it's a symptom of a deeper misogyny | CBC Radio The names of hundreds of scientists have appeared in the Epstein files, including prominent dinosaur researchers. As the paleontology community reckons with the fallout of these revelations, women in ...

A few weeks ago CBC reporter Sheena Goodyear reached out to me for comment on the new Spinosaurus paper. I said I couldn’t, because of Epstein connection Nathan Myhrvold’s involvement with it. We got to talking about how paleontology - especially dinosaur research- remains hostile to women. 🧪

The retro skin flap is inspired by findings from Sereno et al. (2026), showing hadrosaur soft tissue ornamentation could be much more diverse than anticipated.

There are two conflicting principles in biology. 1) Parsimony, as in the simplest solution is likely to be correct, and 2) Evolution is bonkers and sometimes makes no “logical” sense.

It’s on the off chance that these and other structures produced by ornithischians are a convergent feature rather than being the same structure as theropod feathers. It’s the same reason why we’ve been waffling on whether pycnofibers = feathers.

But IMO, they’re probably just feathers.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

You should draw and estimate the size of the bone’s owner!

An illustration of a green four-legged dinosaur, Stegosaurus. It is depicted with tall back plates that are colored dark gray, yellow, and white. To the right is the silhouette of a human.

I painted a Jurassic classic, #Stegosaurus. 💚

This is why scientists will cushion statements about animal behavior with “typically” or “usually.”

All it takes is one individual to shake things up.

Get domed. #pachycephalosaurus

Let me know if you find a good writing community!

My newest interpretation of #Therizinosaurus. Certainly, the best of the mega theropods ;)

I don’t want to generate or receive an email, document, manuscript, PowerPoint deck, post it note, grocery list, novel, film, or hit list that has been generated with AI.

Drink their coffee.

I need to finish all episodes of the new Walking with Dinosaurs, but so far it’s got quite a range of highs and lows.

And also…chat, is there perhaps a faint echo of a paintpaddock piece in contemporary paleomedia?

Introducing Mosura fentoni, a new radiodont from the #BurgessShale.
Paper here: doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2…
This #fossil species has 3 eyes, spiny claws, wing-shaped swimming flaps, and a unique abdomen-like body region.

Sending hugs, my friend.

Mine? I need a complete Brachiosaurus altithorax skull. 😭😭😭

Who knew a fish could express "What the fuck was that?" with such ease.

The plot points write themselves.

An illustration of an orca, a black and white dolphin. This individual was known as Keiko. His tall dorsal fin is flopped over on one side.

Many of my colleagues view the story and fate of #Keiko the orca as a failure. I think this underplays the effort and hard work of many smart, passionate people.

We learned a lot about cetacean rehabilitation. Keiko got the dignity of passing away in his home waters, far from his tiny tank.

An illustration of the long-necked dinosaur, Amargasaurus. It is partially submerged in a forested body of water. A frog sits on a lily pad in the foreground.

I mean, seriously. Was ever an animal more aptly named? It looks like a guardian forest spirit.
