25/male/autistic/aspiring paleontologist. I like animals, dinosaurs, video games, movies, and I work out. Views are my own. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

#ThrowbackThursday We published this article a year ago today, and actually 5 days after succesfully obtaining my PhD, in the #OpenAccess journal the @PeerJLife

A recent article by DePalma et al. reported that the season of the End-Cretaceous mass extinction was confined to spring/summer on the basis of stable isotope analyses and supplementary observations....

Apatosaurines were just built different, compared to other diplodocids.
While Dippy the Diplodocus is longer than Louise our Apatosaurus(26 meters vs 22 meters) the latter outweighed Dippy by nearly 20 tons(15 in Dippy, around 35 in Louise)

Andrew Carnegie, fitting his personality, wanted something big for Pittsburgh and the museum he wanted to start. Enter CM 84, aka Dippy, the holotype of Diplodocus carnegii. At almost 26 meters long and 15 tons when alive, it fit the bill…

Well this video is gradually becoming more and more of a joke as time goes on.

From here on out, this will be the only geological timescale/summary I will adhere to…

Unless we somehow find a tyrannosaurid that independently evolved three fingers, of course.

I get this was the early 20th century, but tyrannosaurids are so characterized by having two fingers on each hand, that it’s become ingrained in my head. Seeing a three fingered tyrannosaurid just feels so…wrong to me.
@ArtSaturator @GET_AWAY_TRIKE @LiterallyMiguel @_themingau @Orribec @atak_draws It was originally mounted with 3 fingers, since the arms are unknown from this specimen (or any previous ones).

Late to the party, but happy Acrocanthosaurus appreciation day! Still probably my favorite carcharodontosaur (Carcharodontosaurus itself is a good second, though mainly for its name).
There's an Acrocanthosaurus appreciation day? What's the story behind that? One of my favorite dinosaurs ever and there aren't that many figures of it that I'm crazy for. This is one of the best ones.

Meet #Argovisaurus Miedema et al. 2024. The Middle Jurassic Swiss holotype (PIMUZ A/III 5279) bones (and 3D skull cast) are at the Natural History Museum at the U. of Zurich. ~18’ long, w/ a 10” eye orbit, y 4’ jaw, makes for an incredible 10 Tons life restoration. #FossilCrates

-insufficient methods for accurate replication and problematic isotopic graphs with irregular data and error bars. So if you see the spring time idea thrown around, take it with a grain of salt(not to mention the other points of concern regarding this whole endeavor) See Alt

@TM9380 While that is true for the DePalma et al. paper, please recall that the DURING et al. paper had the same conclusions with better sourced data!

Tanis, a fossil site in North Dakota famous for what’s been interpreted as a site decimated by the KPG impact. While it’s been suggested to have taken place in the spring, subsequent work cast doubt, citing: its lack of primary data, unidentified laboratory for the analyses-
