Welcoming Musango matusadonaensis, a new sauropodomorph dino from the Late Triassic of Zimbabwe found by our team back in 2018. Read about it for free here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... and have a look at this lovely reconstruction by @markwitton.bsky.social (1/2)

RIP Bill Oddie, an inspiration to young schoolboy Stu not only for his Goodie brilliance, but as a birder and naturalist. In these dark times we need the Oddies of the world, and he will be much missed. #birding #science #funkyGibbon

During my career I've been very lucky to work on many scientific illustrations, animations and videos, collaborating with scientists from many disciplines to communicate their amazing research. 1/3 www.nature.com/nature/volum...

RIP Sam Neill. Jurassic Park is one of my favourite films and Neill's character Dr Alan Grant inspired a new generation to consider palaeontology as a career. “They’re moving in herds. They do move in herds.”

Nice article by @joshlukedavis.com on our Antarctic sauropod paper: www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

First ever dinosaur fossil discovered on Antarctica identified as a titanosaur | Natural History Museum

Antarctica was once a thriving, forested ecosystem filled with a diversity of dinosaur life.

As Britain swelters through another heatwave, few people will have heard that ministers have quietly dropped plans for solar carports. Cars cooler in summer. Shelter from the rain in winter. Clean electricity all year round. A missed opportunity?

RIP David Hockney. Such an influence on myself and so many others. I could’t pick a favourite work of his, but this painting of a country lane from his Yorkshire Sketchbook is a wonder, and I revisit it time and again.

The skeleton of Hypsilophodon found by Mick Green on the Isle of Wight in 2006, currently on display at The Etches Collection. #FossilFriday

Finally made it to The Etches Collection on the Isle of Purbeck last week. The huge pliosaur skull was the star of the show for sure; a stunning fossil, beautifully prepped. Also gorgeous fossils of other marine reptiles, pterosaurs, fish and dinosaurs (yay!) #FossilFriday

A bit late for #FossilFriday but a heavily dinoturbated area at Hanover Point #IsleofWight. Some fierce weather here at times but this lone ornithopod dinosaur footcast was here when I first visited the island some 30 years ago.

Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough, whose ability to communicate the deep fascination and love of natural history, palaeontology and science that many of us feel. A lifelong influence and inspiration for myself and countless others.🎂 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Just got my hot-off-the-press copy of the new edition of Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved, written by @tetzoo.bsky.social and yours truly, with gorgeous new cover art from @bobnichollsart.bsky.social: finally, a sauropodomorph on the cover 🦕🦕🦕 On sale soon!

Ouch. Cool new paper. peerj.com/articles/207...

I've decided to revise and update one of my most important and popular blogposts "How do I become a paleontologist?". I still get asked this every few weeks so having a new version of this post to share is so useful to put people on track. archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2026/02/17/h...

How do I become a paleontologist?

This is a revised and updated version of an old post of mine that’s now nearly 10 years old, so it seemed sensible to give it a polish and re-release it into the wild. So, what do you do to become …

I'm really thrilled to see the "Cromhall Croc" finally getting the attention it deserves! Please welcome Galahadosuchus jonesi, named after Ewan's school science teacher, who inspired his love of the natural world ♥️ anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

After a storm last week the sand stripped from the beach to reveal a 40 cm long iguanodontian dinosaur foot cast originally from the shores of a 120 million year old lagoon (Vectis Formation). #IsleofWight #FossilFriday

Got T. rex on my mind for the first time in a while. Here's an isolated T. rex manual ungual in the wild, found by one of the team whilst prospecting in the Hell Creek, Montana in 2010. #FossilFriday

If cutaneous spikes were widespread in ornithischians, it'd make any ankylosaurs sporting them look even more dramatic. I suspect they were more so than we often depict them (see Spicomellus). Speculative doodle of the head and neck of Polacanthus from a 2015 sketchbook. #ankylosaurs #SciArt

My 2020 book 'Tracking the Golden Isles: The Natural and Human Histories of the Georgia Coast' (@ugapress.bsky.social) is coming out in paperback next month (March 15)! If you missed its debut in May 2020, you can get it now. Preorder at: www.ugapress.org/978082037806... 🧪📚 #Booksky

It's the weekend... and relax.

#FossilFriday The ischium bone on the right from #IsleofWight formed part of the iguanodontian dinosaur pelvis. In 1849 the bone was understandably still something of an enigma and here has been misidentified by Gideon Mantell as a clavicle.

This is one of two 60w daylight simulation bulbs purchased when I was an art student 43 years ago. The first popped in 2021 after 39 years of continuous service, near daily usage. The second incandesced for 4 years until it pinged last night. We shall not see their light again. #SciArt

For #FossilFriday a small #IsleofWight iguanodontian dinosaur tibia in the collections @nhm-london.bsk.social. What makes it special is that it is from the Gideon Mantell collection. The fossil takes me back 125 million years but its history casts me back to the 1820s.

Cool new paper from @peterfalkingham.com and Stephen Gatesy: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Formation, preservation, and interpretation of dinosaur tracks

The fossilized tracks of dinosaurs were first reported in the scientific literature in 1836, not long after Buckland's discovery of Megalosaurus. Tracks record aspects of dinosaur locomotion, diversi...

Cool new paper alert! Some of our rhabdodontids are not what they seem. Great work on European ceratopsians from @tweetisaurus.bsky.social et al.

Prof Susie Maidment@tweetisaurus.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Out in @nature.com today, we shake up the ornithischian family tree. Remember those weird Late Cretaceous iguanodontians, the rhabdodontids? Well they're weird because they aren't iguanodontians. They're ceratopsians. Well, at least some of them are... www.nature.com/articles/s41...
