Hi, I’m Riley! I write bestsellers, talk ‘til my jaw hurts about paleontology, and sniff out fossils wherever I can find them. Check out my latest. 🌱 🦕

The weird scissor-toothed shark, Edestus and straight-shelled ammonites.
Illustration for the forthcoming book. I don't know what the bubbles mean beyond the fact that I looks drawing them.

There’s something about this that feels different. I’m so excited.
BBC Earth doesn’t seem to have an active account on here, so I thought I’d share the news.
First look at Walking with Dinosaurs (2025)!

Hi I don’t talk about my job but it seems there’s going to be a big deportation swipe going down tomorrow so this is important! Lush stores are safe havens. They are able to hold anyone seeking safety in their backroom if needed. We have signs telling us what to say/don’t say to ICE

They're a Scimitar toothed cat, rather than a Saber toothed cat, and this is the species who just had intact cub mummy discovered!

The Ashfall Fossil Beds site in Nebraska is famously known as “rhino 🦏🌋 Pompeii”.
Teleoceras, barrel bellied, short-legged rhinos, tried to “weather the storm” when the Yellowstone Supervolcano erupted 12 mya and met their fate.

Just to keep things ticking over while I wrestle with Christmas deadlines, here's #paleoart of the American mastodon, sans hair, for which there is virtually no fossil evidence. Mastodon were not denizens of cold climates, like mammoths, and they may have looked very different in life. #sciart

I almost forgot this #FossilFriday. The T. rex at the Acad of Nat Sci is their biggest complete dinosaur mount, but in front of it is an "Ultrasauros" (Supersaurus) leg. You can already tell it dwarfs T. rex. Imagine the whole animal standing in front of it...

I called this piece "The Visitation" and features the infamous Spinosaurus aegyptiacus a tapejarid pterosaur that the adult won't believe the baby saw when they wake up.
