The new Teratophoneus skull is out! Say hi to BCT. Collected in 2002-3, I just finished assembling our restored 3d print of this weird animal. Judith River Formation, MT Skull is 40 inches, or just over a meter in length. Curatorial googly eye for scale 🦖🧪

Finally getting around to fixing some anatomical mistakes on my old Amurosaurus skull.

I'm a day late, but with the 200th birthday of Megalosaurus, here's a reminder that you can 3d print your own replica of the lower jaw of the holotype! skfb.ly/opYIQ

Skull reconstruction of a juvenile Parasaurolophus cyrtocristatus from the Kaiparowits formation.

Reconstructed skull of the new Lambeosaurine material from Morocco. "Minqaria bata". Known elements shown in white. Slightly larger than Ajnabia, the other lambeosaur from Morocco.

Finished 3dprinting Gorgosaurus libratus skull.

I now have my Gorgosaurus libratus skull 3D printed at 1/6th scale. Lower jaw soon to follow. And then I'll be painting it.

Made another dinosaur skull. Here is Gorgosaurus libratus. View the 3d model here: skfb.ly/oQ8Qv

Misty Monday morning monties: a new Edmontosaurus #paleoart piece I'm finishing up today. I rarely draw hadrosaurs and enjoyed painting them here. Like all the best animals, they have pleasing, slightly silly faces. #dinosaurs #sciart 🧪

Todays random portfolio artwork is a gulping Platecarpus, a Late Cretaceous mosasaur, about to eat an Enchodus fish (I'm in the mood for things with big teeth!). Commissioned by the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, for their exhibition information boards. #SciArt #SciComm #PalaeoArt #PaleoArt

Inaugural work post: I thought to give a sneak about our upcoming studies. One paper accepted today, 3 in review, 1 to be submitted next week. Prepare for (1) anatomical networks of turtle skulls, (2) fossil & (3) extant carettochelyid anatomy, (3) some baenid news & (5) my first testudinid paper!

A while ago I made a reconstruction of the scanned skeleton of Dreadnoughtus. I've reoriented the existing scanned bones and filled in the missing ones with new sculpted ones based on other Titanosaurs. sketchfab.com/models/ebd55...
