Check out this awesome fossil of a Triassic marine reptile! Found in Luoping County, China.

Excited to share our new paper in Science Advances! Led by Dr Wei Wang at #IVPP in Beijing, it presents a complete skeleton of #Austronaga, the most marine of all archosauromorphs. To boot, this fossil preserves the oldest complete digestive tract of any reptile! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Cool art of Albertonectes hunting in the mud. This huge plesiosaur was about 11m long, with 7m for the neck alone! Bottom-living preys shells, like bivalves and snails, have been found in the stomach contents of other elasmosaurs (ex. Australia), so the behavior depicted by Mark is not unlikely.

#Paleoart for #FossilFriday from 2021: elasmosaurid Albertonectes vanderveldei explores the deep, dark, cool waters of Cretaceous Canada. (Psst: if you also like murky pictures of extinct animals where you can't see anything, all my art is available as prints: www.markwitton.co.uk)

📣Announcing a new name for my #prehistoric marine reptile #indiegame: Plesiotopia! The former name was hard to remember... and actually close to another type of content (thank you, anonymous informer). The game is scheduled for 2027. You can #whishlist it here: store.steampowered.com/app/4459770/...

A wholesome marine sanctuary sim, where you take care of giant sea reptiles from the dinosaur era. Nurse ichtyosaurs, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs, train them for the wild, then search the Pacific Ocean ...

Today on the road to Ithaca, we meet @vasiliosk.bsky.social and discuss what it's like to make video games in Greece, why put the things we believe in the things we create, and how it feels to meet one's first player. Please back Ithaca on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ith...

For last week’s episode of Surviving Earth, I was entrusted with doing the concept design for Saurornitholestes. Here you can see my concept design and how amazingly it was translated into a 3d model by the talented artists at MilkVFX #paleoart #sciart #SurvivingEarth

Hi! For this #FossilFriday, I made a small video to share the process beind the creation of the cute marine reptiles in my game, Futabasaura: youtube.com/shorts/Z8s6e... #indiegamedev #animation #paleoart

This is how I animate my (wholesome) marine reptiles! #animation #indiegame #fossilfriday

As the #YearoftheHorse begins, I will share an overview of my recent journey through reconstructing prehistoric horses. For such an important, beloved, and fascinating lineage, there isn't an abundance of paleoart of them (and very little that diverges from established tropes)🧵. #paleoart #sciart

🐊 Major devlog, as I finally closed the gameloop in my game #SoryuHaven! pleistogames.itch.io/soryu-haven/... For those who don't know me, I am a paleontologist who embarked in an indie solo game dev journey. Follow me if you'd love games with authentic #paleontology creatures! #indiedev #paleoart

Playing Patch and Release

Since I started reworking on what was Aquasauria Park, I have been trying to focus the game’s core loop back on the animals. In today’s devlog, I’ll introduce the loop that I’ve been crafting...

pleistogames.itch.io

Another day, another paleo-devlog! This time, I made a scalable dialog system: pleistogames.itch.io/aquasauria-p... I also reworked the user interface, I made it a little more... bio-engineery? The character portraits are still from the old jam version, though. #atmospheric #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

🦕 Time for a new paleo-devlog! This time, I implemented a time controller, I put ichtyosaurs into the bay, made a peak-like health-hunger-disease-wound-bar, and added buttons to feed the ichtyosaurs🐬 pleistogames.itch.io/aquasauria-p... #paleontology #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #newfeature

Two months ago I took part to the #DINOJAM. The theme was ‘Underwater’, so I developed a marine reptile tycoon game. The result was… underwhelming 😅 So when I learnt about the #ContinueYourGame jam, I decided to give it another go. Read the first devlog here: pleistogames.itch.io/aquasauria-p...

📢Celestial Haven DLC is now available for $2.99 !📢 All revenue will be donated to Animal Charity to take care of abused animals, create shelters for stray cats and more! Learn more ➡️ store.steampowered.com/news/app/128...

We've got something to tell you: NEW GAME! Poke @arteinteractive.bsky.social <3 #indiegame #gamedev #arte

It's complete! Enzo the ichthyosaur is now fully on display in the Centre after being discovered just a year ago. A whole lot of work went into this one by Chris and Alex Moore, and Nic Reast and it looks fantastic! #FossilFriday

A little late for the #EuropeanHeritageDays but still: Plesiosaurs are among the most iconic mesozoic marine reptiles of Europe. The first plesiosaur was discovered in 1821 by Mary Anning - a talented fossil huntress and major contributor to paleontology. #paleontology #paleoart #DINOJAM

As we're all taught, you can (usually) only directly date the age of a rock if it cooled from lava. But here, scientists have dated dinosaur eggs, using uranium-lead ratios in the calcite. Hugely exciting, maybe groundbreaking. My take @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Scientists directly date dino eggshells for the first time

The new findings narrow age estimates for the clutch of eggs—and may help identify which species laid them

​France's decision to return the skulls of King Toera and two warriors to Madagascar is a significant step toward rectifying colonial injustices. Honoring the dignity of those wronged by colonialism is essential for healing and justice. #Restitution #Justice #HumanRights #France #ForeignPolicy

France to return human remains to Madagascar in first action under new law

The skulls of King Toera and two warriors were held at Paris's Natural History Museum since 1899

France has returned the skull of King Toera, a Sakalava king killed by French troops in 1897 during the Ambiky massacre in Madagascar 🇲🇬, along with the skulls of two of his warriors.

What’s better for #MondayMotivation than a giant flying snack? 🍫 🪰 Meganeuropsis was a #Griffinfly, a group of giant #ExtinctInsect from the Permian epoch. Meet them, and other delicious friends, in pleistogames.itch.io/cisuralian-c... #paleontology #indiedev #paleoart #entomology

Somehow, the flappy-bird moves of Diplocaulus in pleistogames.itch.io/cisuralian-c... are based on real science!
