Wow, today's comet over Calgary (C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) has a sunward spike (or anti-tail). Never saw such a feature before. Stack of 12 for 5sec in DSS #yyc #CometATLAS

It's the first commission from Russian museum for my 14-year career as a nat-history illustrator. Shestakovo mural. Grow where you planted huh? 😆

Yesterday I finished painting the wall in my workroom with the color "approaching storm", an in the very moment this monster approached with a huge hail. #abstorm

There are some things you really can do, something what every decent human being should in this situation: https://t.co/h1ry4NwSRX… https://t.co/zT6orlwKbc Or https://t.co/AIcfDF7a7e to directly support the clinic hit by a Russian missile today

@NatSciChannel @TetZoo Not sure there's one.

We finally did it!
Kiyacursor, a new elaphrosaurine from the Lower Cretaceous of Siberia! Sorry, no picture from me - too busy on other projects. Except, maybe, some skeletals from the paper itself.

[Andrey Atuchin @AndreyAtuchin]

@JoschuaKnuppe Yeah, I am a father of a dinosaur! 😁

[Andrey Atuchin @AndreyAtuchin]

So, now we’ve got more articulated theropod material from the Ilek Formation, SW Siberia. The photo is from a public news media.

Our new mosasaur Khinjaria acuta (= "sharp dagger") is out in Cretaceous Research. A mouth full of teeth like knives and a face like a nightmare, Khinjaria was part of an exceedingly diverse fauna of top predators in the Maastrichtian of Morocco

[Andrey Atuchin @AndreyAtuchin]

The paper can be found here: https://t.co/rfEQx631Ct I prepared this illustration a half a year ago to accompain the research. Khinjaria are chasing a school of Enchodus.

Khinjaria acuta - a bizarre new plioplatecarpine mosasaurid from the Maastrichtian of Morocco. Khinjaria had a short face and a cruel-looking smile with a mouth full of teeth like knives.
