I'm planning to switch over to bsky. If everything goes well, I'll keep checking here from time to time, but for other interactions see you over there

A real shame, hopefully they'll be able to solve this
An important update to our Paleo Pines Community 🦖 💙 😞

I cringed at the atmospheric oxygen mention (Arthropleura itself is exactly one of the strongest counterarguments to that), but this is actually very fascinating.

If you guys thought the """"neck lock""" interconnecting neural spines of Acrocanthosaurus were cool (left), check out the neck of Taurovenator(right)
Its out! New material from the holotype specimen of Taurovenator: link.springer.com/article/10…

I'm screwed...
Haolonggood announced an Argentinosaurus figure and it's enormous. The largest figure they've made so far, even bigger than the Alamosaurus. (photos from Haolonggood and Paleofiguras on Facebook)

The cranial morphology of Melanosuchus still surprises me every time I see it again. Not only is it incredibly "dense", but the orbital fenestrae are absurdly gigantic compared to those of other crocodilians. #Croctober
Replying to @mmujicam2000
Well said, the way their skulls are, it’s just so incredible to me. Huge, Dense, Deep, and robust. Tyrannosaurus of the Croc World.

Most birds use a funny running style: grounded running. It's a paradox: GR costs more energy than normal running, but animals usually minimize costs. Do birds waste energy? We resolve this with a model of the emu (the best bird). 1st PhD chapter, out in @ScienceAdvances 1/17

Man, if only that house cat was indoors like it's supposed to be, this could've been avoided

I'm well aware that extrapolating sizes from fragmentary remains highly subjected to allometry is misleading but excuse me holy shit
T. rex would think twice about attacking this one... Giant Triceratops nasal horn

Takins are native to the high-altitude regions of the Hengduan and Himalaya mountain ranges. All 4 subspecies are found in China. The #takin prefers to inhabit cold, high-altitude areas above 2,500 meters and migrates vertically with changes in season and temperature.

New paper out on the femora of #Lufengosaurus hatchlings, suggesting that this species took care of its young. Despite being dismissed as #turtle analogues, parental care #sauropodomorphs is clearly far more complex and diverse than previously supposed. link.springer.com/article/10…
