Barosaurus lentus rearing

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Here's my Lark Quarry trackway (Australia) illustration from DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR, by Prof Michael Benton (published by Princeton Uni Press). Featured is an angry Muttaburrasaurus scattering a group of theropods (an interpretation of the hundreds of fossilised footprints).

"London. Michaelmas term lately over, and the Lord Chancellor sitting in Lincoln’s Inn Hall. Implacable November weather. As much mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantine lizard up Holborn Hill. (Quote continues next toot)

Dilophosaurus has a little cup.

53rd: The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs an outstanding nonfiction work that blends memoir with hard science written in a style that is engaging. Brusatte shows how new fossil finds are rewriting the story of dinosaurs. #books #nonfiction #dinosaurs

(01 May) Dinosaurs might still roam Earth if it weren’t for the asteroid, study suggests

The dinosaurs were not in decline before the asteroid hit, a new study finds. Instead, poor fossilization conditions and unexposed late Cretaceous rock layers mean they’re either not preserved or hard to find.

Dilophosaurus has fully blossomed.

Happy #fossilfriday!

This is Patagotitan mayorum, one of the largest animals to ever walk the Earth, towering over a crowd of visitors at London’s Natural History Museum. This 2.76 tonne cast of the fossils discovered in Argentina was part of a 2023 special exhibition titled Titanosaur: Life as the Biggest Dinosaur.

CAMARASMASH! quick grayscale picture of two male Camarasaurus lentus in the #sauropod equivalent of musth, a concept i'd like to explore more, so expect another picture just like this one, but better

At a "take what you want" in my street, I adopted that guy. I think this #dinosaur will be a friendly guide for more biodiversity in the #garden. Today they tell you: 'It's hot like in summer, please think to offer water to birds, insects and dinosaurs! And don't be afraid if your moss has dried like here. With the next rainfalls it will regenerate. Moss can survive even in deserts!'
I still need a name ...
