More exciting news! I am now able to share with you more of the concept art I did for the amazing upcoming NBC Universal show “Surviving Earth” premiering next year! This time for a fan favorite, Dimetrodon! I can’t say much more than this for now 🙊

evolutionary arms race

New publication on the muscular biomechanics on the forelimb of Utah's Falcarius; more therizinosaurs please. Need more, but similar work on ankylosaur forelimb baud plans as well. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jm… Utah Geological Bureau of Land Management Utah University of Utah NHMU

🚨New plesiosaur from Germany🚨 I'm happy to announce that our paper on Plesionectes longicollum, a new plesiosaur from the Lower Jurassic Posidonia Shale of Holzmaden, has just been released in PeerJ. 1/5 #Science #Palaeontology #Germany doi.org/10.7717/peerj.…

New paper out on some beautifully preserved embryonic & hatchling fossils of the #Jurassic #sauropodomorph #Massospondylus. Interestingly they were quadrupedal has hatchlings, but became bipedal as they grew. link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Gigantic, meat-eating dinosaurs didn't all have strong bites, analysis shows phys.org/news/2025-07-g… via Phys.org

I am so so excited for #DinoConUK next week. I'll be giving my talk on sauropod skin on Saturday at 11:30 in the Great hall. If you see me please feel free to say hello!

Pertinent editorial of conflicts between the fossil trade and conducting science stimulated by the important fossils of Shri rapax. Sadly, the distinctive skull was lost and is presumed to be in a private collection. tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.10… Utah Geological BLM Utah

The fossil versus the animal, smaller than a sparrow

My art book Carbon Based is now live guys kickstarter.com/projects/onipr… Here’s another piece featured inside I did a while back for Creative Beast Studio ‘s incredible Cyberzoic. Thank you for all the support & shares! Drawing process thread 1/

Thanks to everyone backing my art book Carbon Based so far! ( kickstarter.com/projects/onipr… ) Here’s another excerpt, my Archaeopteryx for the awesome Jingmai O'Connor ‘s description of the Field Museum specimen used on the cover of nature . A process thread 1/

35 years ago day SUE the T. rex 🦖 (FMNH PR 2081) was discovered by Sue Hendrickson. Few dinosaur specimens are as impressive, and our team has had the privilege of studying the original fossils & CT scan data many times. As always, thanks go to the Field Museum for their support! 🦖

Pleased to announce that our second pass analysis of †Cryptovaranoides is out eLife - the journal! In it, we provide more evidence that this taxon is not a squamate, and challenge the referral of isolated bones to the hypodigm elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr… #science #paleontology

1/ A few years in the making, but I can finally share my first PhD paper and my first ever first-authored whale paper. In it, we name a new species of toothed baleen whale: Janjucetus dullardi. You can find our conversation article here: tinyurl.com/dullardi

A scene of ca. 252 million years ago during the Late Permian in the Madumabisa Mudstone Formation in Zambia, Africa. You can see here various therapsids and a Pareisaur

Announcing today 🏅The illustration accompanying Dearc osteology paper (below) won an art award at the BMC E&E Zoology image competition, under category "Life in Motion"!🏅 Two Dearc papers, and all award winners! Award Winning boy! 🦇

Happy #FossilFriday! Even the #tyrannosaurs, among the largest meat eating #dinosaurs ever, started life as little babies. This is the 3cm long dentay (partial lower jaw) of an embryonic tyrannosaur (#MOR268) from the #Cretaceous Two Medicine Formation of Montana.

Finally! I'm free! CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Osteology and ontogeny of the Permian dicynodont Rastodon procurvidens (Synapsida, Therapsida) based on micro-CT scanning and its phylogenetic and biogeographical implications academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/art…

Have you seen our latest paper in Journal of Anatomy? We trace the origin of air sacs in pterosaurs back to their Triassic forerunners. Using micro-CT on the pterosauromorph Venetoraptor, we show invasive air sacs were in place before true pterosaurs.

Excited to have this new #OA article out in Fossil Studies MDPI (doi.org/10.3390/fossil…), documenting the loss of cranial kinesis in phorusrhacid terror birds in connection with their remarkable hatchet-like feeding style. Dino Degrange ably led the project & we've got more on the way!
