Saying goodbye to Trinity as it's leaving the temporary exhibition at the Sauriermuseum Aathal 
We've been continuing our research on these T. rex specimens and the fascinating story of their lives over the past few days.
Many thanks to the incredible museum staff team for their support!

The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. Here's "The Transient Oasis," showing a colony of Seirocrinus crinoids drifting on deadwood.
New review: On the Wing is an excellent, factual primer on the evolution of flight that helpfully assumes little background knowledge.

Zooming into my 2022 Nature cover, featuring Tupandactylus. This painting was commissioned by Cincotta et al for their paper describing multiple feathers and their colours from a pterosaur fossil!

Semionotid premaxilla just pulled from the Substation Quarry in St. George, Utah! This thing is TINY
#paleontology
Hey Rockstodon, I found this interesting object in the mountains north of Reserve NM. It's quite dense and attracts a magnet but I was able to gouge a bit out of the back without revealing any metal. Is it a fossil? Is it a rusty tool handle? Maybe you have an idea? #rocks #geology #paleontology
University of Calgary paleontologist part of discovery of new dinosaur with 30-cm claws
Darla Zelenitsky says the remains of the therizinosaur were found in the Gobi desert in 2012 during the construction of a water pipeline.

Oh my god neither of those are dinosaurs and there’s 145 million years separating them both, this post is a palaeontological disaster.

Keystone (limestone) (Paleontology 
)
Keystone is a type of limestone, or coral rag, quarried in the Florida Keys, in particular from Windley Key fossil quarry, which is now a State Park of Florida. The limestone is Pleistocene in age, and the rock primarily consists of scleractinian coral, such as Elkhorn coral and Brain coral. The Hurricane Monument, commemorating victims of the Labor Day Hurricane of 1...
While the effects of diagenesis and the potential brackish/marine influence require further investigation, the results suggest the Kem Kem paleo-delta had similarities to modern tropical and subtropical deltas, such as those of the Nile and Niger rivers.
My Mary Anning quilt top is finished!
I wasn’t planning on 3 borders —or having the green one be so wide — when I started, but I think it worked out well in the end
Mammoth butchering, ivory processing site found in Austria
Happy #FossilFriday, I'm showing off a few of the smallest finds from the Substation Quarry in St. George, Utah! While dinosaur teeth and articulated fish are exciting, small fossils from plants and invertebrates can offer us a unique and diverse view of this ancient ecosystem.
