Let's start posting assorted images of #dinosaurs and such here to expand the #palaeoart #paleoart representation on mastodon. I'm trying to find and follow the people whose stuff I like -- can we get a thread going so I find more, please? Tag with #PaleoartAtMastodon and help us find our people :) Here are assorted old images I've done ...

@TetZoo I'm on a different server (for now) but have found you easily. I have noticed a lack of #crocodilian or #alligator content. I will add some. Nice to see you. 🙂

@mike @TetZoo Wow, peak #paleoart at Mastodon already. Why were such masterworks not included in the new Mesozoic Art book? Is the world not ready for them?

@markwitton @TetZoo I don't get it. I am easy to find online. Why did the editors of the book contact me? I can only be a conspiracy. It's Big Palaeoart up to their tricks again.

@mike @DEGL_TOONS @TetZoo I love the delicate details in the skin and the look of intelligence you've put into the eye. And the hair at the end of the tail? [Chef's kiss]

@TetZoo Here is the new Thescelosaurus artwork from my SVP talk by Christopher DiPiazza. Not sure if he is on Mastodon, but I really love this one.

@Boydpaleo Epic! Sadly I didn't get to see your talk but congrats, great stuff. I've been meaning to ask if you're aware of certain early 2000s statements by Mark Norell where he refers to thescelosaurs as 'armored' - was wondering if he was aware of these spurs and thinking of them as osteoderms or such...

@TetZoo Morris (1976: p. 98) mentions small osteoderns found adjacent to cervicals 1-4 in referred specimen LACM 33543. I am told by others that have seen the specimen (I have not) that they appear to be washed in crocodylian osteoderms. None of the other articulated specimens (e.g., MOR 979, NCSM 15728) show any signs of osteoderms.

@Boydpaleo @TetZoo There were some of Korean-translated Japanese books from early 1990s showed Thescelosaurus with osteoderms.

@Boydpaleo @TetZoo But from the Japanese book published around 1990 or 1991, there is a reconstruction of Hypsilophodon with osteoderms. I am not sure whether the artist was influenced by 'osteoderms' in Thescelosaurus but still interesting take. For people who can't read Japanese, the green theropod represents Calamospondylus.

@Boydpaleo @TetZoo This is the Thescelosaurus showing osteoderms which I talked above, from one of the Korean-translated Japanese book. It was published around 1993 or 1995.

@TetZoo @mike @john I see what's going on here: we're building to a specific collection of #MikeTaylorAwesomeDinosaurArt. Clearly didn't want the series to peek too early.

@andreacau @markwitton @TetZoo @john Your palaeobiological hypothesis is sound, but you really need to up your game with the artwork.

@mike @andreacau @TetZoo @john Counterhypothesis: in addition to explaining how T. rex supported itself quadrupedally, my proposal rationalises how they coped with the absence of pockets or bags to store their personal effects. (Clearly aping #MikeTaylorAwesomeDinoArt here, but I draw your attention to the vegetation, the result of a recent collaboration with @JulianPalaeoArt to ensure accurate artwork for all my Nth American Maastrichtian depictions. It's really paying off.)

@markwitton @andreacau @TetZoo @john @JulianPalaeoArt can't overstate how much joy this brings me.Everyone can recognise the distinctive styles of Greg Paul or of Doug Henderson. Evidently I have now attained their level.
