Cape Town scientists say we might be wrong about dinosaur ages Researchers from the University of Cape Town challenge a long-held belief about estimating the ages of crocodiles and dinosaurs, revealing that growth marks in bones may not be as reliable as previous...

Unlike the baitball segment from LOOP E01 (which emphasizes 'convergence of lineages' and fails to articulate even that), #TheDinosaurs 's first segment aims only to immerse the audience and show the full diversity of dinosaurs at the peak of their reign. It does both splendidly.

The bombshell results that demand a new theory of the universe

Last year, our most detailed map of the universe yet suggested our understanding of dark energy has been wrong for decades. The shock result is reigniting the search for a better cosmic story.

This dead Ankylosaurus is in fact a practical FX model made by Mangostone (who also made the skeletons from PhP openings and the dead nodosaur from Surviving Earth)!

Late Glacial to Early Holocene Vegetation Reconstruction from the Wenas Creek Mammoth Site in Washington State The Wenas Creek Mammoth site pollen record, which extends from ∼20,000–10,000 cal yr BP, is significant given that few eastern Cascade paleoecological records span the Late Glacial to Early Holocen...

Happy #FossilFriday here is a wee climate paper that I coauthored. We found that 20kya eastern Washington was drying and warming up and chasing away all the pesky pine trees (ew, trees).

As usual with pleistocene stuff, my job was figuring out how old all the dirt was (age-depth modelling)

Osteology and relationships of a new shuvosaurid (Pseudosuchia, Poposauroidea) from the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation of Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, U.S.A. Shuvosauridae is a clade of pseudosuchian archosaurs currently represented by three named species characterized by a body plan strikingly convergent with that of ornithomimid theropod dinosaurs. Th...

Mystery 'whippet' space explosion is the brightest of its kind A rapidly brightening burst of light called AT 2024wpp, or "the Whippet", is baffling astronomers. One explanation is that it is the result of an exotic star falling into a black hole

Sonselasuchus was one of several species of Shuvosaurid pseudosuchians that lived during the Late Triassic. This small animal was part of a large radiation of crocodile relatives that went onto many niches that will be eventually occupied by dinosaurs later in the Jurassic

Illustration of Sonselasuchus next to the silhouette of a ca. 1.8 m tall human

This amazing animal was described yesterday in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology by Elliot Armour Smith and Christian Sidor. I was commissioned to create the illustration of this amazing animal that appears in the paper and the press releases www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Allow me to introduce you to Sonselasuchus cedrus, a new bipedal, beaked and herbivorous crocodile-relative that lived during the Late Triassic in North America

the sabre-toothed cat yoshi chases a gazelle through scrubland

happy mario day! this is yoshi, though he might look a little different from how you remember him 🐱 yoshi was a metailurin sabre-toothed cat that lived in late miocene eurasia, and its cursorial adaptations were well-suited to open habitats
