Now that I have gotten the paper on our new basal Cret. polacanthid ankylosaur into review, here are a few figure of comparisons of significant skeltal elements across ankylosauria for #FossilFriday Seems I lost X on my phone...oh well... Focus on Bluesky! @bluesky

Introducing TYLOSAURUS REX–“TEX”. A monster animal, a monster paper, & a monster project that I am *so* excited to finally share with everyone after ~5 yrs. Huge thanks to my coauthors, Mike & Ron, & to Alderon Games for bringing our lad to life!!
Result from the Florissant Formation #paleostream!
While it doesn't look like this this has been one of the most intensely researched pieces of the whole series, but more on that later. On this a late summer evening a Megacerops steps onto a clearing to take a sip from a... 🧵
puddle, but two oreodonts are already here. The clearing is the product of a volcanic avalanche, a lahar, that ripped through this part of the forest. These hot mud slides are the reason for the biggest claim to fame of this formation: huge well preserved redwood tree-stumps.
This is a cool paper, but would it have been so hard to ask permission, or at least write "modified after Hartman" when they traced my Monolophosaurus skeletal?
axial skeleton of the tuatara (Rhynchocephalia: Sphenodon): insights on intraspecific variability, ontogeny, sexual dimorphism, and remarks on fossil taxa https://t.co/zDHxiknJJh
Piatnitzkysaurus floresi recently got an osteology of it’s axial skeleton to go with the 2025 osteology of it’s appendicular skeleton. It gives a great look at an Early Jurassic Carnosaur, as reconstructed here by me. This specimen is of the Holotype. (1/2)
