A lot of people like to call my usual artstyle #pointilism, but I would say that is incorrect. Pointilism makes explicit use of color, whereas I only draw in b&w, so it is more accurate to call it #stippling.
So, here‘s my actual first attempt at pointilism. I tried to draw Baculites, a Late #Cretaceous genus of #ammonite which is notable for briefly surviving past the K-Pg impact.

"Details are crisp, and edges are sharp – literally and figuratively! The horns and beak are thoroughly pointy and to be handled with care."

In a funny turn of events, someone thought the crinoid barge I recently posted was a speculative idea made up by me and not something actually known from the fossil record. I guess Sussocaris has made people extra cautious about what is and isn’t real.

In the Mesozoic there existed so-called crinoid barges, which were formed by sea lilies attaching themselves to the bottom of floating tree trunks. Some like Seirocrinus could grow up to 26 metres tall. Such barges do not exist anymore today, as the evolution of shipworms has vastly reduced the amount of driftwood in the oceans. #fossil #fossils #Mesozoic #jurassic #stippling #stipplingart #paleoart #paleontology #crinoid #crinoids #sealilies #ammonite #brachiopod #driftwood #invertebrates

Fossil study brings us one step closer to revealing how ‘flying dinosaurs’ took flight

Notatesseraeraptor frickensis, a small Triassic theropod only known from Switzerland. A proto-averostran with a mix of coelophysoid and dilophosaurid characters, hence the complicated name, which means “Mosaic-Trait-Raptor”. I chose to depict it with fuzz based off @ScottHartman et al.’s 2020 paper on Triassic theropod physiology.

Me and Dennis Hansen from the Zoological Museum of Zürich wondering how to reconstruct the pupils of the baby sauropod Toni from the Howe-Stephens Quarry. We are open to suggestions.

Here’s an old school project I did back in early 2020. We had to make diagrams of a topic of our choice and I chose the #Permian. I wanted to do something outside of the #Mesozoic and #dinosaurs. Some info may be wrong or outdated and my #drawings aren’t spectacular but I like to think I still did a pretty good job and I’m proud of this #art project.

Monday morning #kalligrammatid illustration.... this is only the unfinished outline, but I like the way it's looking so far.
This is #Oregramma illecebrosa, a species with a roughly 12cm wingspan and eyespotted wings from the #Yixian Formaton of China.
The kalligrammatids were a family of butterfly-like lacewings from the #Mesozoic which are thought to have been some of the primary pollinators of some #gymnosperms.

@DominicLindus Thanks so much! We're always adding new features - and we're hard at work on a whole new phase of the museum featuring some #mesozoic animals!
Introduction time! I'm an amateur #paleontologist and science communicator who focuses on #dinosaurs, the #Mesozoic, and vertebrate #paleontology. When I'm not posting online or doing #scicomm work I'm busy stumbling my way through trying to start the first natural history #museum in my area.
