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 ^^

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!

Happy St David’s Day from a very, very old dragon. Pendraig milnerae, a 200 million year old dinosaur, was discovered in what is now the south of Wales.

When there is Spinosaurus news, there's always going to be a Spinosaurus sketch from me soon after.

The timing works out perfectly, because I have been wanting to start another Spinosaurus illustration. I love my murder herons.

I had a few errands to run at London's Natural History Museum this morning. There is so much amazing stuff there I always notice and appreciate something new, so here's a thread on things I saw...

Here the result of the Ein Yabrud quarry #paleostream. An important locality from the Cretaceous of Palestine. While mostly famous for it's marine snakes and early mosasauroids, beautiful fish fossils and rich invertebrate fauna are completing this picture!

Today, February 20th, is a significant date for ancient things.
On this day, in the mists of the distant past, I was born. And today I’m launching a new book of portraits of even older creatures!
All the details are below. (1/2) #SciArt

New fossils may settle debate over mysterious sail-backed spinosaurs Spinosaurs have sometimes been portrayed as swimmers or divers, but a new species of these dinosaurs bolsters the idea that they were more like gigantic herons

In which I provide a few thoughts on the new Spinosaurus species, S. mirabilis.

www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

I also stressed the deep connections between one of the study authors - Nathan Myhrvold - and Geoffrey Epstein to New Scientist. They didn't mention it, neither has anyone else.

If you want fossil "teeth" horror shows, you want Conodonts.

This somehow fit into a mouth, about 400 million years ago.

It's unclear, but something very much like this thing is probably ancestral to all vertebrates--this is our great-great-...-great grandma.

🚨New dinosaur! The latest salvo in the Spinosaurus saga.

Super cool! But I'm sure nobody on the internet will care about it... πŸ˜‰

Meet Spinosaurus mirabilis.

I got to see the material and skull reconstruction in the lab last year. Lots of people have been working hard on getting this described for quite some time and it's great to finally see it published.

Former Microsoft executive’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein comes under scrutiny Seattle Times business reporter Alex Halverson has written about connections between Epstein and former Microsoft executive Nathan Myhrvold.

If the paleo community is going to be serious about Horner’s connection to Epstein, we also have to be serious about Myhrvold’s, because guess who contributed photos of animals mating to Epstein’s birthday book and has been appearing in new paleo papers this year - including the new Spinosaurus.
