Eomyodon volkeri, a terrestrial eomyid rodent of Late Oligocene Europe

Got to finally meet in person, the extremely talented @somniosa.bsky.social. Follow them for absolutely top notch palaeoart coming from China. Just look at these postcards 💜

Up in the #Appalachian mountains during the Pleistocene, a young Mastodon is very excited to have found a new playmate. The playmate in question is not nearly so enthused but also can’t do much about it. This is a sketch I began a while ago but only just returned to. #paleoart #pleistocene #sciart

Quick sketch of a large Terror Bird, something along the lines of Kelenken, Titanis, or Devincenzia. These huge flightless birds were apex predators in South America during the Cenozoic, and had a brief reign in southern North America until the beginning of the ice age. #paleoart #sciart #cenozoic

A startled Hesperornithoides confronts a genuinely perplexed, uninterested and perhaps offended Allosaurus. Continuing the quick $30-$40 commissions just like this one to help with funds for an unexpected situation for another week, share &/or hmu💫

Evidently, the Cardinals like this spot. I highly recommend spying on your local wildlife with remote cameras as a hobby, it’s addictive and educational! #trailcamera #photography #birds #wildlife

For the first time, the night came alive with the music of dragons Eotephradactylus #paleoart #sciart

It's about damn time. Finally a paper going into the postcranial anatomy of the hoofed-crocodile Boverisuchus vorax from the Eocene of North America onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... you wouldn't believe how long I waited for something like this

Somewhere in Oregon during the late Oligocene, a subadult cub Mesocyon coryphaeus intently watches his mother chew on a bone, hoping to snatch it from her at the first opportunity. Inspired by the recently published near-complete skeleton of this early, mustelid-like dog. #paleoart #sciart #mammal

Paranthropus boisei male. Much is often made with the huge molars and massive jaw musculature to run em, but equally facinating to me is the surprisingly small incisors. with tightly packed small incisors and small canines this would have likely made mouth look relatively small/narrow. #sciart

A Paranthropus boisei male stares intently into your eyes, drawing a connection between the contours of his face and yours, remarking the hairlessness of his skin and yours and wonders… “Have I seen them before?” #sciart

It's been far too long since Tylosaurus news...so here's another NEW TYLOSAURUS PAPER! 🦎 From me & Mike² (Everhart & Polcyn) For the first time in over 150 years, the holotype of Tylosaurus proriger is fully described & figured in detail. Incredible artwork by Andrey Atuchin

On a scale of 1 - 10, how evil would it be to make several lineages of Enantiornithean birds diversify throughout the Cenozoic on Kerguelen, only to all be wiped out (plus or minus one small survivor) by cats and rats in the 1700s? #specevo #worldbuilding

Rough-sketched idea of how these non-mammalian cynodonts may acquire a trunk-lip, through increasingly specialized browsing with a hardened, then lengthened upper lip that gets increasingly grippy and muscular. A bit of #specevo for my personal Kerguelen project. #worldbuilding #illustration

Some form of precision browsing, haven’t ironed out all the details quite yet

Sphinx is strictly applied to a group of cat-like therocephalians found on Kaimere's Permian Islands. The bast is a small member that has been domesticated for companionship and pest control. Cheers to @shinygander.bsky.social for the thumbnail! Link to episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo3X...

New echidna paper There are 5 subspecies of short-beaked echidnas. They look different but some of the differences between them, like reproductive behaviour, are so dramatic that I thought they may be different species. But previous genetic studies suggested that the subspecies were not real.

I saw a very special bee a few hours ago, the Southern Plains Bumblebee (Bombus fraternus). This #grassland dweller has declined sharply in recent times as necessary habitat and food has vanished, so it was a treat to watch one slowly forage on these tallow tree flowers for a while. #bees #wildlife

Lemuria Phase 3 has officially started! Over the next months people on Discord will be able to submit ideas for animals and plants that could live on this hypothetical landmass during the Pleistocene. 🧵

WOW. This unfinished diorama hall is retrofitted into a meta-exhibit about museum dioramas—how they’re made, their history, and their shortcomings. Do not miss!!!

A lineup of the big cats of Sukaya, the Africa-equivalent continent in the world of Tyrannoc (a spec-evo and worldbuilding project made by a friend of mine). Three are extant African big cats, the others are based on extinct sabertooths from the Pliocene, and Pleistocene. #specevo #art #Tyrannoc

Though feral dragons are primarily derived from the now-extinct mountain wyvern, the dragonriders are said to have incorporated both green and common wyverns into their domesticated stock for a range of traits.
