We navigate through time with Science & PalaeoArt. Join us in discovering the history of life: illustrations/sculptures/edutainment about palaeontology will make us understand a bigger world. For enthusiasts, science & museums. Artwork by FreddiSpindler
found an older scene from 2017 or so: Protorosaurus on the Zechstein beach. Ordered but never paid for. And not because of the mistakes. #research #protorosaurus #zechstein #artandscience #order #palaeontology #digitalart

Sam Neill's iconic role as Dr Alan Grant in #JurassicPark has been a huge inspiration to generations of children & palaeontologists (incl. myself), so Michael Mills (@heapsgood.bsky.social) & I decided we should write a tribute to the dinosaur man theconversation.com/how-sam-neil... 1/2 🧵
How Sam Neill’s Jurassic Park performance inspired a generation of paleontologists
As Dr Alan Grant in Jurassic Park, Sam Neill portrayed a scientist who was authentic, normal and relatable. For many budding paleontologists, it was life changing.

The “Chicken Yard” track site, lower Cretaceous of Germany, in an older oil painting. This piece won’t be in the upcoming PALAEONAVIX SHOP, but awaiting a new home with some friends of ours. #wealdengroup #cretaceous #Dinosaurs #theropod #oilpainting #paleontology #art #research #chickenyard
Turning this Triceratops head to greyscale became similar to an old Pachyrhinosaurus sketch from more than 20 years ago.Like some coat of arms or antique shield. #ceratopsian #triceratops #pachyrhinosaurus #dinosaur #cretaceous #paleontology #artandscience #drawing #art #fossils #creature #horned

Skeletal remains and social behaviour: Why do social groups die out in one-off disasters? Even an outdated sketch raised this question – later, scientists replaced the wave with a lightning strike. The mystery remains: why don’t they disperse? #pencildrawing #jurassic #sauropod #dinosaur #painting
Still a stem crocodile, but most of these guys after the TJ-extinction all look very croc-type. This genus was more a fish hunter, but certainly dangerous for a whole range of dinosaurs. And smaller crocodiles. Including own breed. Sarcosuchus, oil, 2014 #crocodile #giants #oilpainting #art
Pending discussion about how much of a fluke was present across plesiosaurs, however, this type of 4-flipper propelling lacks any extant comparison. Elasmosaurid, oil, 2014 #plesiosaur #elasmosaurus #marinereptile #sauropterygian #saurian #Cretaceous #digitalpainting #ArtandScience #paleontology
Prionosuchus, one of the longest amphibians ever, and unlikely a skilled walker #temnospondyl #permian #palaeozoic #amphibian #earthhistory
Triodus, a xenacanthid (stem-group) shark from the Early Permian. Some may have performed a catfish-like lifestyle. Where large amphibians were absent, Xenacanthidae took the role as apex predators in rivers and lakes some 290 million years ago. #shark #fossilfish #permian #paleozoic #digitalart
Early Permian lake fauna (from food web for a conference poster): growth stages of the filtering stem chondrichthyan Acanthodes, the crocodile-shaped amphibian Archegosaurus, and the stem actinopterygian ('palaeonisciform') Elonichtys. #fish #fossilfish #illustrationart #permian #amphibian

Oreodonts are extinct mammals that looked similar to pigs and sheep, but were more closely related to camels. They are the most commonly found fossil in the White River Badlands in South Dakota, and this exceptional specimen from our collection shows an oreodont curled up inside its burrow.
