A family of the scimitar-toothed cat Homotherium latidens, including two cubs. Concept sketch done as resquested by patron Ben Corey, who as a patron in the Deinonychus and upper tiers can request a taxon for me to sketch every 3 months #paleoart #sciart #art #homotherium

so I was scaling some specimens of Borealosuchus wilsoni for @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social and in the process stumbled across TATE 2070, a specimen of B. sp. with an estimated skull length of ~70cm. Using that estimate and FMNH PR 1674 as a proxy, this would give an animal roughly this size:

I just stumbled across this beautiful specimen of the Oligocene Flamingo Harrisonavis croizeti, which was apparently displayed at an exhibition in Chatel Guyon and photographed by user gryph58 of Geoforum.fr

New 🐢 paper alert! In this one led by the now PhD student Donato Martucci we finally described the fossils of matamata from the Miocene of the Brazilian Amazon Basin and reviewed the status of the extinct species of the genus Chelus. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚨 Big plesiosaur news 🚨 Our paper is out. We describe pigment cells and scales in a Jurassic plesiosaur. Small scales are found at the limbs which enforced them. Body and tail are scale-less. Many thanks to lead-author Miguel Marx & the team. www.cell.com/current-biol... #Science #News #Nature 1/3

With the exception of Raurys, who's essentially just Drogon from the show, these were all a lot of fun to design for Levi and Fang did a fantastic job giving them some proper full body art.

First "croc" of the year and its a bloody aetosaur, but at least I'm slowly starting to get around to understanding their osteoderm anatomy. I managed to finish the page on Kuttysuchus last night and the paper also helped give additional sources for two others en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuttysu...

Seems a good a time as any to repost my own interpretation of Astorgosuchus based on the known maxilla (mind you there are dentary elements of larger specimens). #SciArt #Astorgosuchus

There we go, the first formation piece of the year 2025. The upper Bugti member of the Chitarwata formation has a lot of megafauna (and not much else), but it contains one of the few instances where Paraceratherium and proboscideans overlapped.

For this #FossilFriday, here’s #Uintatherium anceps, from the #Eocene of North America. Growing up to 4 metres long & 2 tonnes in weight, it was one of the earliest large #mammals to evolve as mammals took over faunas on land following the End-Cretaceous extinction. #Cenozoic #Paleontology 🧵 1/

Today I finally got to cross another crocodilian off my list, specifically Mecistops cataphractus. This is because one, Leila, originally owned by a Swiss author, has moved in to replace the enormous false gharial Adam at the Haus des Meeres in Vienna.

Working on the paleoenvironment on a wikipedia page find a paper nicely summarizing things it even mentions modern analogues ..... there are no good pictures of said modern analogues that I could use on the page GODDAMN IT

Happy New Years! Here’s to another exciting year in the world of paleontology. Like last year, we’re gonna spend the month of January taking a look back at some of the coolest new Cenozoic animals described in 2024. #Cenozoicrewind2024 Meet Echericetus novellus! #sciart #paleoart
