I mostly post images from the streams here but most actual work that I do happens on paper. This is a painting I did in 2017 for the publication of a new plesiosaur from Germany.

This Lagenanectes is a basal elasmosaur with some funky dentition. The teeth in the lower jaw erupt sideways out of the bone instead of sitting on top as they usually do.

British Columbia has officially designated a large, fierce-looking marine reptile that lived 80 million years ago as the province's official fossil emblem.

The government adopted the long-necked, sharp-toothed 12-metre elasmosaur as the emblem on Thursday, adding to the list of provincial symbols.

The designation follows a five-year recognition effort by paleontology enthusiasts and a provincewide public poll in 2018, in which the elasmosaur received 48 per cent of the vote.

i think the craziest thing about getting back into dinosaurs after close to 10 years is the fact that science has helped us predict more accurately what they looked like, and they are SO DIFFERENT from when i was a kid

like when i was a kid, compsognathus was my favorite because it was a fast little fucker, and it looked like this:

standard old dino design, right?

but now, one of the most common depictions of compsognathus is THIS:

like ur kidding! my favorite guy turns out to probably have looked like a little lemur?!!!?!! thats insane and so cool!!

#also the whole feathered t-rex #because apparently a lot of dinosaurs are likely feathered #which makes sense!!! #ALSO the idea that we don't account for fat distribution on a lot of dinosaurs is super interesting to me #like penguins have the same kind of neck-length as an elasmosaur #and theyre FAT asf #so maybe elasmosaur or other long-necked dinosaurs had a similar shape to penguins #or maybe dinos had more general fat on their bodies at one point #dinosaurs #dinos #compsognathus #i really want to make a fake taxidermy dinosaur now

everytime I hear a little toddler child call a pterosaur a dinosaur I vaporize them with my mind

#shortext #Fake dinosaur fan 🙄 I knew that shit since I was 2 #Same with the marine ones like. Mosasaur or elasmosaur

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

Can you tell me why they say elasmosaurids ate rocks?

The Oceans episode is probably my least fav Prehistoric Planet ep this season. But the ammonite scenes were probably some of my fav scenes of the series by far. So cute and soooo pretty

#im just not too interested in prehistoric marine life as i am land #idk why #i probably wouldve liked it better if it showed more unique animals #instead of stuff like mosasaurs and elasmosaurs #monnie rambles

Nessie was real and she was an elasmosaurus.

#prehistoric planet #they literally said in the doc that they theorize elasmosaurs swam into freshwater areas from the ocean #come on #the doc was incredible btw #legit cried #bc it's so beautiful and yet #there's no 100% proof that any of it is legit #except I really do believe the Nessie thing #her sightings go way back #dinosaurs #dinosaur

We offered the new fictives a dinosaur plushie as a bribe in order to get them to stop shooting us and they had to huddle before agreeing to accept it.

#Do you think that we should be worried? #They chose the Elasmosaur and spent a good several hours arguing on what to name it #before settling on Elmo. That said there's still one of them who dislikes the name #They also argued over Elmo's pronouns. I believe that they've agreed that they use any pronouns. #However they did immediately agree that the dinosaur is genderqueer before doing anything else. #These new fictives should be fun to have around I think. #Rambling #Jonathan's tag
