Been a while since I've posted stuff in general so I thought I would post the 20 minute sketches from tonight's flocking! Waptia, Megapterygius, Eomola, and Talpanas #paleostream #paleoart #sciart

My first 4 submissions for phase 5 of Lemuria. Trying to make some things more weird than last phase but still plausible. More fish will be on the way!!

Osorioichthys marginis, a ray-finned fish from the early Devonian from Belgium. In 1997, Taverne suggested that the genus could actually be from a less saline environment due to the abrasion seen on the specimen though I don't know the consensus on that. #sciart #paleoart

First post in a while but this is Paraophiodon, a late Miocene greenling from the Sakhalin Island of Russia. #sciart #paleoart

#Marchofthemammals2026 day 21: Rounding out our trip to the semiarid scrublands and dry forests of Late Miocene Argentina with a momma Thylacosmilus atrox and her joeys. Kits? Who knows...

Getting back into fish with these tetrapodomorphs: Tristichopterus, Eusthenopteron, Edenopteron, and Rhizodopsis #paleoart #sciart

If you want to support a museum and get a pretty cool book, I recommend this book illustrated by @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social. Lots of really good info, I just hope that it’s easier for people to get their hands on relatively soon.

Result from the Koobi Fora #paleostream! This region on the east side of modern day Lake Turkana in Kenya is a treasure trove for fossils of the early Pleistocene and is most famous for many early human remains, with up to 6 species present throughout the layers...

Joermungandr bolti, Carboniferous 'amphibian' from Mazon creek. #sciart

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

Very cool paper and thread! Very curious how some fossil groups would fit into this

1/10 ⏰⏰ New stuff from me & @tjnear.bsky.social ! We show that sharks themselves might not be a natural group ... it depends on what spots in the genome you analyze! Preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Finally had time to look over this paper since I just finished writing the article for it on Wikipedia. It and the environment it lived in are super cool and I recommend looking into them if you have the time!

Remarkable. Report of a Brazilian spiny-rayed fish dating to the Barremian stage of the Early Cretaceous, preceding the oldest known acanthomorphs by ~20 million years. Gondwanacanthus extends the roots of one of today's most prominent vertebrate radiations: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

And here the result of the MOTH locality #paleostream! This incredible site from the early Devonian of Canada preserves an alien fish fauna drawn by preschoolers. As with other pieces from this series we can't actually show where these animals were preserved. The anoxic...

A bit late but here are my flocking drawings from last Friday: Incisivosaurus, Haikouichthys, Denversaurus, and Chasmataspis #paleostream #paleoart #sciart

Some mammals i thought I posted along with a new one: Arctocyon, Potamotherium, Puijila, and Longirostromeryx #sciart #paleoart

Result from the Djadochta Formation #paleostream! This iconic place gave me a fantastic challenge, not just in terms of environment but also because besides the dinosaur the really cool stuff from here is actually rather small. I ended up with a rather unusual composition...

Trying to post my flocking sketches more often, this time we did Platycerabos, Mixosaurus, Tetrameryx, and Hyperodapedon #paleostream #paleoart #sciart

I'm finally putting up a commission sheet since I've been wanting to for a while! I mostly specialize in fish and mammals, but I can draw almost anything. Contact me so we can figure out how to work together! #commissions #paleoart #sciart

#Cenozoicpaleo2025 Meet Qilin tungurensis! #sciart #paleoart #giraffe

Getting back into the swing of ungulates after a bit, here are four rhinos: Parvorhinus, Uintaceras, Megacanodon, Aprotodon qiui #paleoart #sciart

#Cenozoicrewind2025 Meet Civettictis vulpidens! #sciart #paleoart

Haven't been as active art-wise since a lot of my time has been going into wikipedia editing since almost nobody else does ray-finned fish and early eocene mammal groups. Though some of these were done last year, most of them are from throughout 2025.

Some more recent stuff than the last post: Taotienimravus, Toxodon, Xotodon, and Pakicetas #paleoart #sciart

Legit thought I posted these a month ago but I forgot: Amynodontopsis jiyuanensis, Labrangomeryx dorcapolis, Leptomeryx sp., and Peraceras hessei #paleoart #sciart

Now that SVP is over, I can finally post the commission that I did for @mosasaurologist.bsky.social 's poster on a certain very cool taxon! #paleoart #sciart

It's #FossilFriday again, and I am presenting 2 posters on Niobrara fish with Jeff Liston and @maryanningsrevenge.bsky.social at #2025SVP

A partial recon of the new North American Pleistocene bovid Speleotherium logani. This guy is one of the few NA megafauna from this time described in the last century. Also showing that we still don't have a complete knowledge of the megafauna of Pleistocene NA #paleoart #sciart

Did some giraffes and forgot to post them: Canthumeryx, Climacoceras gentryi, Georgiomeryx, and Palaeotragus inexspectatus #paleoart #scieart

Just barely making it for September’s #NearbyNature2025, here’s the Mexican Long-nosed Armadillo. Formerly known as a northern subspecies of the recently-split Nine-banded Armadillo, this is the only Xenarthran native to Alabama today. They are mostly nocturnal insectivores. #wildlife #alabama

Back to some fish along with some mammals!: Blickomylus, Prohesperocyon, Italopterus magnificus, and Leptolepis coryphaenoides #paleoart #sciart
