Made a pulp-art #Oryctodromeus last weekend but decided to share it here now. A #dinosaur that lived up in the foothills 100 million years ago of what is now #Idaho and #Montana. Based on the new scan data from the #IMNH.

New paper! Multi-year controlled #SciComm experiment finds that tweeting about published papers does NOT lead to an increase in citations of those papers. Led by @TrevorABranch https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0292201

Today's #FossilFriday is a #tyrannosaur femur from #Idaho! I'm holding a #3Dprint of the original in the case. I'm comparing the paint job one of my interns did to the actual fossil; getting pretty close!. This print, and others like it, will be used in education kits for kids across the state!

@zhejiang0pterus.bsky.social has been asking JVP for the last 4 weeks when this paper will be out as we have a press release ready and now it's already out. Great. Have a new azhdarchid. :) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Please keep in mind that your federal paleo peers are going through a lot right now & may have things going on internally at their various agencies keeping them busy/distracted, leading to additional time to communicate/complete various tasks. Give people a little grace during these stressful times.

Let's checkout a few mesoeusuchian grade terrestrial crocs from the Upper Jurassic (Kimmerigian)and basal Cretaceous (Valanginian) of the Colorado Plateau. The new Yellow Cat croc is twice the size of the 2 Morrison taxa. They filled role of skunks and racoons in mid-Mesozoic landscape.

🧪⚒️ The seismic swarm in Greece continues - and GPS stations on Santorini show that the island itself is deforming, signaling likely movement of magma deep in the crust. In our latest post, we explore a new detailed seismic catalog and come up with a possible interpretation. Read more:

Announcing the rather epic 'Glossary of tetrapod tracks' in Palaeontologia Electronica. Three years of work led by Jens Lallensack, and with Guiseppe Leonardi (author of the original '87 Glossary). We hope it will be useful for anyone working on tracks palaeo-electronica.org/content/2025...

Here is a large #dinosaur limb bone for #FossilFriday! This #Idaho #fossil is from a big meat-eating dinosaur that lived in the #Cretaceous Period. There are tantalizing pieces that are helping some of us (@ljkrum.bsky.social @slvrhwk.bsky.social & other) piece this #IdahoPaleo story together.

This is an amazing site that I had the opportunity to assist in excavating many years ago. The fact that the city is developing this unparalleled look into the early Jurassic is very frustrating; if you have the ability to provide field assistance or heavy equipment, get in touch with Andrew!

For a belated #FossilFriday, here's a cast of #Tinker the #Tyrannosaurus on display at the Discovery Center of #Idaho in #Boise. I was out there for a meeting on Friday so I couldn't resist taking a pic. This is the only mounted #Trex skeleton in the state. #IdahoPaleo #dinosaur #fossil

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating without AI have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

The antidote for despair is action ❤️ * Dial (202) 224-3121 * Enter zip code * Leave voicemail * Say “My name is ___, I’m a constituent in [town]. (If clinician/scientist, say so) “The NIH freeze harms research and patients and must be lifted immediately.” Be brief. Staffers tally all calls. Go! ✅
