Observations on #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge: wonderful, of course. But a strange reluctance in narration to a) state where in the world a scene takes place and b) use genus names. Odd, since no such reluctance in the Mesozoic series.

I just watched #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge completely and would love to share some thoughts. Overall - @tetzoo.bsky.social and team, as always, amazing work! I generally loved the show and that it actually differs from earlier seasons. As I enter spoiler territory, I will add the next thoughts below:

Have learnt from Andrea Cau that French palaeontologist Philippe Taquet died yesterday, aged 85. Taquet published a substantial amount on north African and French #dinosaurs, including Ouranosaurus, spinosaurids, the dromaeosaurid Pyroraptor and much more.

With great pleasure I would like to introduce you to the first ornithomimosaur from Germany!
The fossils of this charming bugger are from Balve, a locality that preserves early Cretaceous fossils in a Devonian reef that had karstified already back then, giving us: cave dinosaurs

I was yesterday in a small dinosaur park in western Germany and they randomly have models and exhibition stuff for "the future is wild".

Some nostalgy hit me and one of the coolest paleoart moment I had was having @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social making a #spinosaurus on request, printing it out for a small exhibtion and realizing what the art actually can look like.

A little addendum to #Tameryraptor, with this info-graphic, showing the superficial differences between it and the neotype of Carcharodontosaurus.

This cervical vertebra of a diplodocid at the Naturkundemuseum Reutlingen is my pick for this #fossilfriday - a fun connection to a lot of what I want to do and what I already learned
More about it hopefully in the future

Mamenchisaurus is best known for its extraordinary long neck, however it also has a surprisingly slender head.
With most artwork focusing on the neck the oddity of the skull is somewhat lost. But when you change perspective...
