A large predatory dinosaur, Allosaurus, breaks into a run alongside a shallow pond. Turtles and pterosaurs are seen in the foreground around the allosaur's feet, and stegosaurs and sauropods occur in the far distance. Ferns, cycadophytes and conifers comprise the vegetation.

A gloomy scene of Cambrian life. A field of tower-like sponges creates a set of obstacles for an all-star cast of Cambrian critters to swim and climb around, including anomalocarids, trilobites, lots of wormy things and the bizarre Opabinia.

Deposits of the Cleveland Shale and the fossil animals they contain: among several species of Devonian sharks is the famous Dunkleosteus. Palaeontologists work to discover new fossils at the base of the cliff.

At #Patreon, I've been discussing my 2024 #paleoart murals for the Cleveland Museum of Natural History: www.patreon.com/markwitton. They include a life-size Allosaurus, Cambrian faunas, Yixian pterosaurs, birds and insects, Cleveland Shale strata and fishes...

This may be the oldest β€˜butthole’ imprint on Earth Fossils show exceptionally rare evidence of a cloacal ventβ€”the slit that most vertebrates use to excrete, have sex and lay eggβ€”which could shed light on the evolution of the orifice

Please enjoy the single most amazing quote from a paleontologist I have ever read: β€œThe animal literally cemented itselfβ€”and its nether regionsβ€”into eternal history like the movie stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.” πŸ§ͺ www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-...

Watercolor illustration. Two dark and starry creatures are happily sharing what looks like purple cosmic tea or soup in little cups. The larger one looks like a wingless dragon with a moon where the heart would be, and the smaller one has a goofy platypus-like bill, tiny wings, and a tail like a shooting star.

A collection of illustrations of crocodiles and alligators against a soft green and yellow background. They are playfully either swimming or loafing around, playing with fish, taking care of their young and chilling in the water. The crocodiles and alligators are mostly green and yellow, save for an albino alligator. They’re so loving and fun, these toothy friends!

Inspired by a Doctor Who discussion about the Lupari where I mentioned it would be funny if they all looked like different types of dogs

Okay, here's a better look at the finished 15th Doctor.

The clock in the corner is getting crowded with Roman numerals, but I'm set for the next eight Doctors, at least.

Illustration of a white man walking down a hallway full of rusty mirrors, his back turned to the viewer, looking nervously over his shoulder, holding a gun. Monsters, eyes, teeth and handprints can be seen through the nearest mirrors. A little bit further in the corridor, a two-headed monster stands in the dark, waiting for the man to get closer.

Illustration of the same man exploring an abandoned and extremely foggy cemetery, walking down some stairs on a hillside with a church in the distance, an old cavalry sword in his right hand. He's eyeing the overgrown tombs suspiciously. Some of them are dug out. A humanoid figure is lurking behind one of the tombs, and a tall, knight-like figure with a rusty sword and a helmet impaled with several pointy spikes is slowly following the man in the foggy distance.

Ryan and Min in a green forest, looking out through some bamboo stalks. Ryan looks dubious; Min’s expression is a little more tired and sad. Below, two paper cutout figures of a red and blue oni pretend to fight. The red oni has a club.

Min falls to his knees, face contorted in unbearable horror, hands clenching at the air. Ryan rushes in to grab him.
