Like every other lifeform, Dinosaurs depended on other animals to sustain themselves. They were part of complex ecosystems that were sensitive to changes. Paleogon will challenge its players to recreate such ecosystems and to sustain as many species as possible in them. www.gaiagames.de/paleogon

Happy #fossilfriday
heres the first glimpse of paleoart I did for the project Paleogon by Gaia Games .

Since the first screening of Jurassic Park, scientists get constantly asked if they could bring the dinosaurs back. But the real question is: could we keep them alive?

Oh and speaking of #EAVP2025 - I will have a workshop there!

Join me for a look at scicom in entertainment settings from the perspective of marketing and event management. We review tools and skills that will give you the confidence you need to go out there and present your work to the public.

Did you know that petrified tree trunks have been found in Chemnitz since the middle ages? Georgius Agricola mentioned them 1546 in his work 'de natura fossilium'.

Happy #fossilfriday! This is my recent work in progress: the Chemnitz Petrified Forest. The artwork will be displayed at the #EAVP2025 art gallery im Krakow.

Pro-Tipp: all the big museums are deserted right before the night of museums. So visit places like the famous museum of prehistory, with it's unmatched scenography and plenty of paleoart, on the regular hours and focus on the special collections at the museum night.

Manga are not just for fantasy & romance. A lot of them intertwine educational content with stunning graphics. This project not only educates about local fossils but aims to encourage science communication in the manga art style. Illustration/Design: S. Hähle, Text: D. Träger, 3D-Print: Gigabones

So, you want to be a palaeontologist and study prehistoric life, but don't know where to start?

Maybe you worry you're not good enough? That you can't do field work? Or you can't afford it?

Let me take you through different options for making it in the field 👇(🧵)
