Dans la nuit, un poisson-spatule piscivore Protopsephurus (77 cm) se fait prendre d'assaut par la lamproie Mesomyzon. Ces deux poissons vivaient dans Yixian Formation au début du Crétacé, en Chine. Une version colorée, et l'originale en noir & blanc. #paleoart #SciArt #china #mesozoic #cretaceous

Do you know how wild and carefree life as one of these critters must have been? Some trilobite: *sigh* guess I get to scuttle over the benthos. Maybe do some light burrowing. Aegirocassis: WEEEE

Result from tonight’s #flocking #paleostream We drew Infernogallus, Dearc, Peefernogallus and A very, VERY pregnant Ammonitritor Im not posting my Leptosteus because it’s not post worthy

Great to see our new paper with @Ferron_HG published @iScience_CP! Jawless vertebrates evolved increasingly hydrodynamically efficient head-shield morphologies, but extinction prevented them from occupying the most optimal regions of shape space. cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S…

Thought experiment: what factors kept non-pterodactyliform pterosaurs from getting any bigger than albatrosses? Why don’t we have azhdarchid sized rhamphorhynchids?

Are dinosaur fossils hogging top journals? Analysis sparks debate over ‘charismatic’ finds

Nature - Fossils of dinosaurs, mammals and other glamorous species are over-represented in high-profile titles, suggests a study of thousands of palaeontology papers.
