Tis out!
Diplodocid Biogeography by Boisvert et al. 2026 (I am one of the et al. ;-)) conducts specimen-level analyses using modern tools (my things have changed in 30 years tech-wise!) on apatosaurine and diplodocine Morrison Fm sauropods

There are enough resources out there tho!
Skeletal reconstruction of Gavialis gangeticus, the indian Gharial, the shortest-limbed and most aquatic of all modern crocs, and like them, it was rather small-headed (with juveniles of 1:5 DCL/TL, to 3m+ adults between 1:6.3 & 6.8)

Somewhere in Perm, Russia 267 mya, an Estemmenosuchus mirabilis basks in the afternoon sun. Only turning slight curiosity to a Dunbaria flying about to feast on early pollinator insects. Ofc included is the timelapse of much blood, sweat and tears

Excited to share about the latest discovery at the San José de la Tinaja fossil site- a vertebra from a pretty big Boa! First record for this giant snake at a Pleistocene site that already yielded crocodile, turtle, giant toad, and colubrids, as well as various mammals.

A newly reported megaraptoran was just announced from the Isle of Wight. The fossil was found in the 1920s but only recently given a deeper look. Named Invictibellatrix, it was reportedly about 3-4 meters in length. Art by Sergey Krasovskiy and Pedro Salas). Article below…

In 2025 i had the opportunity to create a 5 meter-long panel for the Museu Municipal do Cadaval.
This panel aimed to illustrate all fossils on display at the museum, in their reconstructed habitat, with addition of other contemporary animals found nearby in Portugal.

Here is a section of another of my murals for the Schiele Museum of Paleontology. This one corresponds to the late Cretaceous Nemegt formation. Once again I had to fit the action in an extremely vertical format, a challenge that proved as exciting as it was hard to take on.

I expect to be away for much of the day collecting plant fossils, so here's the full public version of Great Maia.

#FossilFriday New work by @Formorphology just out in Current Biology quantifies burst swimming speeds in mosasaurs! Based on her results, this is how we imagined a fully-grown Tylosaurus could successfully breach. Paper below

"Out of the Frying Pan"
Texas, 65 million years ago. Dry conditions turn the once lush woodlands into a matchbox. While most denizens flee the advancing flames, opportunists like these Quetzalcoatlus northropi seek out the inferno, picking off any too slow to escape the blaze.

If you are interested in Megalodon and all other prehistoric sharks (and let’s face it, who isn’t?) there is a new book coming Feb 9th that you have to get! I was lucky enough to be commissioned to illustrate this amazing book wonderfully written by Dr. Jack Cooper!
