A neat labeler I just heard about from Montana here - @stemlabels.xyz! If you work science or science-adjacent fields (like #sciart) there's probably a label in the list for you! Subscribe and check them out today!
I just learned about @stemlabels.xyz! It's a lovely little tool that makes finding other folks in the science easier! Definitely subscribe to the list if you're into STEM topics

The size charts this time were a collaborative effort between @montanoceratops.bsky.social,
@seismic-shrimp.bsky.social @sassypn.bsky.social
and me. As you can see there the local insect fauna had some bangers. When you want large insect interacting with dinosaurs/pterosaurs: this is your place!

it was a lot of fun to work on the entomofauna for Solnhofen. The main tricky part about the formation is its sheer size and age. This site has been worked on for centuries and has had the most named species of any fossil site. Many specimens are straight up not available online in any capacity!

Additionally, so many amazing sites need a lot more love from the scientific community. I hope that many more amazing sites that are more obscure or newer get some more love and research in the coming decades. Paleo is one of those fields where there's always another interesting site that needs work
Something I learned from working with @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social and @seismic-shrimp.bsky.social with researching formations and paleontological localities for the Formation Pieces is just how many amazing sites there are. We have so far drawn over 70 murals and have a lot more we could draw 1/2

Dinovember Glow Up #20 - Psittacosaurus
Two thirds of the way now, and today we mark that with a young adult Psittacosaurus tending to some unruly babies. The older animal is not the parent, but a babysitting older sibling.

A scene I did of Miocene Amazonia for a commission: an early Iniid River dolphin catches a frog right before a greedy arapaima does while Stirtonia-like monkeys hoop and holler at the commotion! Pretty interesting concept I must say. 🇧🇷

Someone has DMed me on Bluesky. If you don't already know, the UK's new bizarre laws to attempt to control some bits of the internet means I can't easily access these anymore. So please email me instead.

Had a great time in the weeks leading up to #2025SVP working with @seismic-shrimp.bsky.social on the poster art for Ichthyodectid tail trauma. Highly recommend!
Now that SVP is over, I can finally post the commission that I did for @mosasaurologist.bsky.social 's poster on a certain very cool taxon! #paleoart #sciart
