Featuring: Tameryraptor (bones of this dinosaur were discovered in 1914 in Egypt and was thought to be parts of Carcharodontosaurus, but later were destroyed during WWII, and in 2025 using the bone fragments, the dinosaur was considered a seperate genus) Duonychus (only therizinosaurid to have 2 digits on it's arms instead of the usual 3), Istiorachis (reverse Ouranosaurus), Spicomellus (originally discovered in 2021, but it was reimagined with more spikes after additional bone discovery in 2025), Nanotyrannus Lethaeus (a new species of a dinosaur that was considered invalid or a younger Tyrannosaurus Rex, until proven otherwise last year), Pochitaserra (a prehistoric sawshark named after Pochita from the Chainsaw Man series) Bakiribu (a filter-feeding pterosaur from Brazil, found from coprolites (fossilized vomit))

Made a Paleo recap were I drew some of my favorite paleo highlights from 2025.

Two men standing beside a mechanical digger and a large hole in the ground. At its bottom is a small alien spacecraft in the jaws of a large dinosaur. One of the men is saying (quote) “This complicates things”

Until they find ALL the bones of #Spicomellus, and complete a thorough search of the site, NOTHING is certain.

That’s all I’m saying.

A digital illustration of a Spicomellus dinosaur walking on a path through a rocky canyon. Bright warm sunlight spills into the canyon and light up the front half of the dinosaur's body. Its big neck spikes are brightly lit, making them stand out in front of the shadow the dinosaur casts on the rock wall behind it. The tail of the dinosaur is cast in dark shadows, making only the silhouette of its tail spikes stand out from the slightly lighter background.

Describe your mood with a dinosaur. I'll go first. This one is Spicomellus, a recently discovered ankylosaur who clearly was not built for hugs.

Day 2: Spicomellus!

Fun fact: This Moroccan Ankylosaur was initially named in 2021 from a single rib, but about a month ago it was revealed that more fossils were discovered. Including some HUGE spines and a crazy tail weapon.

the ankylosaurid dinosaur spicomellus snoozing next to a campfire, two marshmallows on its spike above the fire and a bag of them lying next to him. It's dark and pinetrees hide a blue starry night sky in the background.

This took so much longer than I'd like haha, luckily I just had all day anyways. I'm following @kaseysnowart.bsky.social 's promp list, spicomellus was a challange! Curious to see how everyone else did drawing all those spikes.

After we published the new specimen of #Spicomellus a few weeks ago, we were contacted by George Blasing, who said he'd bought some on the commercial market, and wanted to return it to Morocco. It arrived last week. Thanks George for doing the right thing in the name of science!
