On the 3rd day of fossils, my true love gave to me...

3 cyclocystoids!

I wouldn't be surprised if you've never heard of a cyclocystoid. They are one of the rarest fossil echinoderms and related to starfish and sea urchins. They are small and fall apart quickly after death.

1/x

Hi, I’m Emma, an illustrator, comic artist, and sculptor with a propensity for drawing dinosaurs, monsters, aliens, and spaceships, but especially dinosaurs.

I'm working on a sci-fi story with all of the above. Except dinosaurs, oddly no dinosaurs.
An Illustration of a Stegosaurus bounding and frolicking with its rear legs in the air as it chases a monarch butterfly. The stegosaurs plates are colored and patterned like monarch butterfly wings. An illustration of a tentacular space alien that is wet, dripping, and shiny manipulating a generic Henson style monster puppet with blue fur. A family of Dilophosaurus are feasting on the corpse of a Sarahsaurus. The entrails have spilled out and the adult grasps the heart in its hands while a juvenile tears at the body. Below the image it read "Fix Your Hearts or Die" an homage to David Lynch.

The Mesozoic mammal Sinodelphys, discovered in China and photographed at the Carnegie Museum, for #FossilFriday. Originally described as a marsupial but now thought to be an early placenta mammal, in my considered opinion this is clearly a creachure. 🧪⚒️

Met Apex the skidding Stegosaurus!
Mounted skeleton of a Stegosaurus. Pose looks very uncomfortable due to bent knees, downward-curved neck and general stiffness Same from reverse (left) side. Honeycomb like architecture behind

While hunting for fossils, the unexpected is sometimes discovered. These finds can range from pottery shards to this fulgurite, or "fossil lightning," formed when lightning strikes the ground.

Real skull of Sue the T. rex!! Did you know the one on the full display is a cast that removed the distortion due to crushing that we see here. #FossilFriday ⚒️🧪🦖
Large T. rex skull seen from the front in a glass case. The right side is much flatter than the left. At the Field Museum.

This pterosaur species, Scaphognathus crassirostris, was first described all the way back in 1831! Look at the teeth!! #FossilFriday⚒️🧪
Cast of an incomplete Scaphognathus in yellow beige rock. The spine, skull, and wing bones can be seen. The skull is on the top right edge showing large spaced out teeth. At Kelvingrove.

As cool and cute as sabre-toothed tigers are, at least I don’t have to fear staring down the maw of Smilodon populator these days. #FossilFriday ⚒️🧪
Looking down the jaw of mounted skeleton of a fossil sabre-toothed tiger with its mouth open. It stands on a wooden plinth on a wood floor among glass display cases. At the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle.

The skull of a giant sloth, Megatherium americanum, from South America. This species went extinct, along with most other megafauna, in the Late Pleistocene Extinction Event thought to be caused by humans and changes in the climate. #FossilFriday
The skull of the giant sloth, Megatherium americanum, mounted on a metal rod on a wood plinth. Wood plinths with other specimens can be seen behind it. A white label sits to the lower left. At the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle.

Footprint fossils are important because they reveal the size of the animals that made them, their movement, and animal behavior. The 44,000 pounds of footprints collected at this site in Wyoming tell the story of tyrannosaurs ambushing a herd of hadrosaurs as they approached the river to drink.

Once upon a time I was a nearly prolific illustrator of ancient life forms. Here's a sampling of this 🐡🎨 paleoart from the early 20's.

While the new specimens described in this study are impressive, the other important thing is the maximum size of this animal. The animal has frequently been reconstructed to be over 2 meters tall with a wingspan of over 5 meters, but this is no longer true!

One of the best & most useful scientific figures when it comes to sauropods is this one from Jannel et al. 2022. It's visually clear & gives a good idea of which sauropods we have decent hind foot aka pes material for.
