Haven't posted #paleoart in a while, but I finally got some beauty pics of a project from last year: my latest Utahceratops life portrait, sculpted atop a magnificent skull from Gaston Design. This time I restored more of the face / eye / brow horns!

A lystrosaur slinks away from flames on a forest floor. Glad to share my new #Sciart #paleoart to depict research by @palaeomays et al: evidence of a "burnout" phase with widespread wildfires toward the end of the Permian, even in typically wet areas. pubs.geoscienceworld.org/sepm/palaios/a….

happy to announce my first ever #sciart #paleoart in @sciam : new story by @palaeomays et al explains the downfall of the Permian world as heat, fire, and toxic algae -- which are all increasing in today's world as well! scientificamerican.com/article/toxic-…

Another #sciart #paleoart piece I created for @CStrulluDerrien : Neanderthals in the Loire River Valley, shown spearfishing based on new research that found evidence of fish, fowl, and small game processing that had long been overlooked:my-angers.info/04/10/inedit-d…

Have been very busy lately, but am glad to finally share my #sciart #paleoart I developed with @CStrulluDerrien for a current exhibit of the paleobotany of the Loire Valley region of France, all the way from Devonian to Pleistocene: my-angers.info/04/10/inedit-d…

the full #paleoart #sciart scene, set in the Sydney Basin: as a global hothouse climate takes over at the end of the Permian, extensive forests die, and lowlands fill with seeping groundwater and runoff no longer taken up by living tree roots...

#WorldCrocodileDay Did you know that crocodile ancestors were fleet-footed land animals about the size of a greyhound? In this detail from my #paleoart #SciArt at @PetrifiedNPS , Hesperosuchus pursues a small metoposaur amphibian that tries to escape into a nearby stream

the full #Sciart #paleoart piece: the discovery of five tyrannosaurs of differing ages together in the deposits of an ancient oxbow lake is remarkable because it suggests that the animals may have formed a social group that drowned together in a flood(!)

of course #WorldSoilDay should also mean celebrating how much soils teach us by preserving the past: my #Sciart #paleoart of the Rhynie Chert ecosystem for @CStrulluDerrien is based on fossil soil that was hardened into sinter by water from hot springs nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/…
