  1. Damn, "Prehistoric Planet" documentary series are cool! A lot of well-drawn dinosaurs, a music from Hans Zimmerman and a voice translation to Russian from famous animal stories' narrator Nikolay Drozdov :drgn_aww:

  3. #Fossils Reveal a Possible New #Tyrannosaur Species, the Closest Relative of T. Rex smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/ @Smithsonianmag

    A giant tyrannosaur from the #Campanian#Maastrichtian of southern North America and the #evolution of tyrannosaurid gigantism nature.com/articles/s41598-023

    "A partial skull originally thought to be from a T. rex might actually represent a previously unknown species... They have named this creature #Tyrannosaurus mcraeensis, after the McRae Formation where it was discovered."

  4. New on the Dinosaur Toy Blog, the 2022 Wild Safari Albertosaurus by Safari Ltd: dinotoyblog.com/albertosaurus-

    "Perhaps the most controversial aspect of this figure is the paintjob. People either seem to love it or hate it."

  6. Today we visited #Naturalis, a museum for biodiversity in Leiden, Netherlands. I used to visit the old museum every year until I moved to Norway. A few years back they completely rebuild and reorganised the museum. It was my first time there since. Especially their exposition on dinosaurs was stunning with a huge skeleton of a Camarasaurus and an original tyrannosaurus rex which I chose for todays sketch.

  7. For this #fossilfriday, a Gorgosaurus libratus at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology! Gorgosaurus was a smaller, faster, and older relative of Tyrannosaurus rex.

    Did you know that in Alberta we have found specimens of five different tyrannosaur species?

  8. This just made my day! I've seen this fossil and it's truly amazing. So glad to see they've finally solved the mystery and identified the species of tyrannosaur.

    Researchers discover new tyrannosaur species in ‘duelling dinosaurs’ fossil

    "The “duelling dinosaurs” fossil, which reveals a triceratops in battle with a medium-sized tyrannosaur, was unearthed in Montana by commercial fossil hunters in 2006, and dates to shortly before the asteroid strike that ended the reign of the dinosaurs 66m years ago."

    "Now researchers say a detailed analysis of the fighting tyrannosaur reveals it is not simply a juvenile T rex, as many have thought, but an adult of a different species, Nanotyrannus lancensis."

    Highly recommend if you're in the area taking the time to visit.

  9. A new early tyrannosaur from Mongolia - Khankhuuluu mongoliensis, the 'dragon prince of Mongolia' - reshapes how we understand tyrannosaur evolution!

    This species bridges early and late forms, showing how changes in growth timing shaped the line from small hunters to T. rex. It also reveals that tyrannosaurs first evolved in Asia before spreading to North America and back again.

  10. Meet Khankhuuluu mongoliensis, the “Dragon Prince of Mongolia”! This small tyrannosauroid was described by a team led by University of Calgary palaeontologists Jared Voris and Dr. Darla Zelenitsky, together with Dr. François Therrien of the Royal Tyrrell Museum. It represent an intermediate form between the early, small tyrannosauroids and their later enormous cousins!

  11. To clarify for someone who asked: 44 #Tyrannosaur rexes have been found at Hell Creek (24% of all finds) so the total Hell Creek T-Rex population was ~0.7 million during a 2 million year period. #Dinosaurs #Science #PaleoSky 🧪🦖

  12. Today is #NationalFossilDay! Over my career, I’ve been an author or coauthor in naming five new fossil species: the #Miocene baleen #whale Eobalaenoptera harrisoni (2004), the Miocene toothed whale Squalodon whitmorei (2005), the Triassic gliding reptile Mecistotrachelos apeoros (2007), the #Cretaceous #tyrannosaur Dynamoterror dynastes (2018), and the #Pleistocene Pacific #mastodon Mammut pacificus (2019).

  17. For #FossilFriday, speculative Cenozoic #tyrannosaur art at #Patreon: a species adapted for grasslands (the "stilt tyrant") and high-latitude, cold environments ("tundra tyrant"). Fluffy as it is, please don't stroke the latter.
