Happy #MosasaurMonday from Eustace, the holotype skull of Jormungandr walhallensis discovered in North Dakota by the NDGS.

We were tasked with taking this not-quite-complete skull (right) and digitally restoring it for display at the NDGS as well as a library just a few miles from the dig site 🧪

Today's bombshell in @nature.com by Lindsay Zanno & James Napoli @jgn-paleo.bsky.social (bit.ly/4qBE6ng) shows that putative juvvy T. rex fossils actually are Nanotyrannus. I reviewed the manuscript, so Nature invited me to write the News & Views commentary. Free link: rdcu.be/eNv94 🦖

"I Contain Multitudes"

This digitally painted piece honors coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our cities and the wilderness today.

The thread gives descriptions of all the extinct organisms shown in this piece (not to scale)

I was collecting #quail #embryos this morning and found an individual with albinism! Look at the lack of pigment in the retinal epithelium! Reminds me of finding a leopard #gecko embryo with the same condition during my PhD.

no offense, but when I am complaining about some aspect of the professional world sucking, please take a moment to think before commenting "well, I am in this field, and I did not share this experience". congratulations dear, happy for you, but I really don't know how to respond to that.

stylised Protosphyraena concepts, honestly quite happy with these and will probably make more with different taxa

3 days left to back my art book! www.kickstarter.com/projects/oni... Special last minute addition here, working on a piece to add to the tier 4 print set! Will be added to the book as well. Classic T.rex vs Triceratops battle. RTs hugely appreciated. Thank you for the support guys!

Task completed (easy): freeing Stan from his old Podium

Happy #FossilFriday! While you may have seen this cast of Tylosaurus elsewhere, this specific one is special: it is the *first* cast of the fossil that was made. Currently on display in the lobby of the History Museum at the Castle.

Exciting things coming to the Castle soon - stay tuned!

I missed #MosasaurMonday but holy moly, Winnie is prepped!

Here's the main part of the skull, without the palate laid out. She came out great and im so happy she's covered in pathologies. Just like me, we both have interesting skeletal injuries. Lower Niobrara, 86.5 million years old 🧪

Thrilled to share that starting in late August, I'll be Natural History Museum Specialist for the History Museum at the Castle in Appleton, WI! I'll be overseeing the exhibition and programming of the nat. his. collection, which is being moved from the old Weis Earth Science Museum.
