A previously unknown giant herbivore discovered (video)
A new subspecies of grass lizard, which has been named Garumbatitan morellensis, was discovered in Spain.
This new dinosaur has been named Garumbatitan morellensis and was 10 meters high and 25 meters long.
The herbivore was a four-legged herbivore with a long neck and tail, not unlike a brachiosaurus.

John Wiswell brought his signature mix of coziness and dry wit to kaiju and dinosaurs, closing the night down with laughs.

More new #paleoart at #Patreon: an attempt to show a realistic take on #dinosaur copulation. A lot of what's said about dinosaur mating is pretty ridiculous so, in an essay accompanying the hi-res version of this image, I try to cut to the sensible stuff. www.patreon.com/posts/89965576 #sciart #dinosaurs #paleontology

"New fossils from #Colombia and #Argentina and the United States have provided a broader geographic range to study the severity, #ecosystem effects and legacies of the event on plant life."
A cliff in Alaska is covered with dozens of dinosaur footprints, a stunning discovery that reveals their diversity and abundance. The footprints belong to different types of dinosaurs, such as crane-like birds, plant-eaters and predators. The footprints challenge the idea that dinosaurs were warm-climate creatures and show how they adapted to the ancient Alaskan environment.
A new study shows unprecedented heat is likely to lead to the next mass #extinction since the #dinosaurs died out, eliminating nearly all mammals in some 250 million years time.

“Parthenogenesis is a well-established trait in some reptiles. Such babies, called parthenotes, make up the majority of some lizard species: New Mexico whiptails and tiny mourning geckos are made up entirely of all-female lineages. In other reptiles, like copperhead snakes and komodo dragons, it happens only occasionally among specific individuals.”

Oof this one was the funniest of my Tom Tanuki 12-video catch-up.

What are #Triops? 🦐
About 220 million years ago, dinosaurs inhabited our planet and dominated ecosystems. The era of the #dinosaurs was ended by the mass extinction in the Cretaceous-Palaeogene boundary. Triops survived and are now the oldest known living animal species in the world. But what are Triops actually?

I don't buy a great deal in for the Gallery as we make most of our stock, but in January I preorder some Christmas bits. It arrived today and I decided to put it straight out as it's been such a strange year business wise. Turns out it was a good decision as I immediately sold 4 decorations.
I'd forgotten how cute these #dinosaurs are! I must have been having one of my moments when I ordered them 😅
Caudipteryx doodle. Line work, then with colors inspired by pheasants.
Caudipteryx isn't really a bird but it's only slightly larger than a pheasant and lived in a formation that appears to have been forested.
The fossils have color information and the feathers had visible bands. Although the plumage would apprently have been darker than what I drew.
The #Wollemi #pine was thought to have gone extinct 2 million years ago until it was rediscovered in #australia by a group of hikers in 1994. Now, scientists have decoded its #genome to understand how it's survived — almost unchanged — since the time of the #dinosaurs. #greatRead

Remembering when I drew some ideas for Jurassic World sequels back in 2015, while the JW trilogy was just 1 mediocre film, not a 3-film car-crash. More interesting fictional dinosaurs and the resurrection of extinct hominds were top of my list. Still waiting on that phone call, Hollywood producers. #dinosaurs

after 5 years, it is still hilarious to me that there is a scientific paper titled _The Real Big Foot_, and it is about a sauropod hind foot, also known as a pes.
_The real Bigfoot: a pes from Wyoming, USA is the largest sauropod pes ever reported and the northern-most occurrence of brachiosaurids in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation_
TIL that my favorite dinosaur from my childhood, Brontosaurus, after being demoted in the 1970s, was reinstated as an official dinosaur genus in 2015!

Wah, another dinosaur discovery in Thailand: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2618353/worlds-newest-dinosaur-found-in-kalasin
>“It is one of the most complete dinosaur fossils in Southeast Asia.”
>It is the 13th dinosaur fossil found in Thailand and the world’s newest discovered species of dinosaur, Ms Oranuj said.
>The fossil dates from about 150 million years ago, which was in the late Jurassic period. Its pelvis is similar to those of birds, called ornithischian dinosaurs.
>Phu Noi mountain, where the fossil was found, has been dubbed the Jurassic Park of Thailand because more than 5,000 fossilised remains of ancient creatures with backbones have been discovered there. It is the biggest and most bio-diverse site of fossilised vertebrates in Southeast Asia, Ms Oranuj said.
It's publication day for The Tyrannosaur's Feathers!

#ShowerThoughts: If birds, like chickens, evolved from #dinosaurs and we were to, Jurassic Park style, recreate them, and then eat them; they'd probably taste like chicken...but since dinos came first, shouldn't we be saying that chicken tastes like dinosaur and not the other way around? (PS I'm not advocating that we eat dinosaurs, this is purely a grammatical thought.)

Yes this is a dinosaur pillow case.
Yes I’m in my 40s.
No I won’t be taking any questions.
I love majestic/dramatic poses in paleoart but what I REALLY love are poses that show everyday behavior, even if those poses are less "dignified." Like this painting of lekking, a ground-scraping mating display (plus bonus background sexytime!), in theropod dinosaurs. Art is by Xing Lida, based on preserved marks found in Cretaceous sites in Colorado.
