  @kirkmoodey @llewelly @mike @svpow.com Thanks, I hadn't realised that modern elephants ate cycad cones (as they're pretty toxic).

  So I've just finished watching Scavengers Reign, and WOW! No description could do it justice! The world building and environments are incredible, as are the characters. The art style and animation are perfect! If you're not sweamish I 100% recommend watching this! https://youtu.be/3yjyps_nhho?si=BGd1wOFUzu0cP_6w

  Happy #FossilFriday, and Happy #Pride! I've uploaded some new designs to my Redbubble shop because my friend, Helian Naish commissioned me to design this #trans #Sinosauropteryx holding a #transfem flag for a t-shirt! I LOVE how it's turned out! #paleoart #LGBTQIA https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Trans-Sinosauropteryx-Holding-a-Transfem-Flag-by-JulianPalaeoART/161851395.WFLAH

  I also have multiple versions of this #Sinosauropteryx holding different flags, including #Transmasc, #Lesbian and #Bi flags. Also, a blue version, which is also holding all the flags. They're not all uploaded yet, so if there's a specific combination you want please let me know!

  I was discussing ferns, so here's one I illustrated last year for @PalaeoGames 's rpg guidebook "Dr Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs". This is Ruffordia goeppertii, an extinct fern from the Early #Cretaceous. #paleobotany #paleoart

  I'm not sure how long I'll keep this up for, but I want to do a series highlighting each species of Ginkgoales I restored. First up is #Ginkgoites #pluripartita. This was a very widespread species, found across the northern hemisphere in Early Cretaceous rocks from the northern USA, Canada, Greenland, Germany, Siberia, Franz Josef Land, and potentially also in the Morrison Formation. Its leaves show a lot of variation, with some having broad lobes and others being highly divided...

  Up next is #Ginkgoites #patagonica, a species from the #Eocene of Argentina. This species had leaves with 2-8 narrow round-tiped lobes and is the youngest #Ginkgoales species from the southern hemisphere. #paleobotany #Ginkgo #paleoart #SciComm #plants

  I've been thinking about #Equisetum this evening... and I've been doing some *very* basic maths on them which have already given some interesting preliminary results... with some paleoartistic implications👀. #paleoart #botany #paleobotany #plants 🌿🌱

  I have a couple of new posts on my Patreon, looking at a project I've been working on recently. I won't say too much about it here, but it's looking at the interactions between sauropods and some unusually large horsetails. #paleobotany #paleoart #dinosaur https://www.patreon.com/posts/supergiants-and-107353842?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

  My partner's giving a talk later on about some Carcharodontosaurus remains, so here's a relatively quick restoration I made for her to use! It's nice to draw the occasional dinosaur. Good luck @allycattiny , you'll smash it! #FossilFriday #paleoart #Paleontology #dinosaurs

  For #FossilFriday, here's a restoration of the possible life appearance of #Equisetites arenaceus, from the Early Late Triassic of Europe; a horsetail with stems up to 25cm across! I have more information about this on my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/107353842?utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=android_share&utm_source=copyLink #paleobotany #paleoart

  I'm going to try and start reposting my #aGinkgoaDay again. Starting off, we're finally moving away from Ginkgo(ites): This is #Baiera aquilonia, from the Early #Cretaceous of the Arctic. Baiera species are primarily differentiated from Ginkgoites in having fewer veins per lobe. #paleoart #plants

• View post

  Today's #aGinkgoaDay is one of the less Ginkgo-like leaves. This is Eretmophyllum penalveri; it's an elliptical leaf likely belonging to the plant Nehvizdyella, which was a salt marsh adapted ginkgoalean from the Jurassic and Cretaceous of Laurasia. #paleobotany #paleoart #plants

  I had an idea while watching #Paleostream for a thermal image of speculative thermogenesis (heat production) in a #bennettitalean cone, so I quickly painted it! It's just an idea, but I'd like to explore its potential more! #paleobotany #paleoart #paleontology #botany #plants

  #FossilFriday I'm finally sharing my life restoration of Wielandiella angustifolia, a small shrubby bennettitalean from the Jurassic-Triassic boundary of Greenland and Europe. I've also added a complete restoration guide for it to my Patreon! #paleoart #paleobotany https://www.patreon.com/posts/life-appearance-111967194?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_lin

  #FossilFriday Here's a #pen and #watercolour pencil #painting I finished last week (just in time for #TetZooCon). It was commissioned by Dr Dave Hone and depicts a pair of #Confuciusornis tail feathers being obscured by the leaves of the #Ginkgo apodes tree it is sat in. #paleoart
