These Triassic fossil cycads absolutely blow me away every time I see them.

New paper with colleagues detailing an exquisitely persevered #Jurassic tree from the Purbeck of England. In this we use tradition #palaeobotany methods, combined with 3D laser scanning, to investigate this +1000kg fossil. Resolving the architecture and affinity of the fossil tree.

I've finished my diagram showing the variation of #Anomozamites angustifolium leaves! These are the leaves possessed by the #Wielandiella angustifolia #plant (a type of #bennettitalean). The transitional #leaves were particularly interesting, although we dont know how shuch leaves were arranged, or if they were just disformed. #paleoart #palaeobotany #paleobotany #paleontology #palaeontology

Happy #FossilFriday, and here's another illustration for @PalaeoGames new #TTRPG sourcebook!
This is a restoration of Nelumbites, a #Cretaceous #lotusflower🪷. Unlike modern lotus flowers, some fossil species can have heart-shaped leaves, while others are completely round. #paleoart #palaeoart #paleontology #palaeontology #paleobotany #palaeobotany #plants #flowers

Nanjinganthus has been rexamined with Micro-ct and this seems to elucidate more angiospermous features, such as ovules within oviaries.

I'm very interested to see how this turns out. I'm not familiar enough with #angiosperm floral anatomies to comment, but it would be amazing if this does come out as an angiosperm. Unfortunately, the features they're identifying seem kind of ambiguous.

I thought I'd share an illustration I've done for @PalaeoGames new TTRPG sourcebook!

This is #Marsilea, a type of aquatic #fern found both today and during the Mesozoic. It also happens to look quite a lot like a clover or shamrock🍀, which seemed appropriate for today.

This is my official #introduction that I am attempting to move my primary activity over here. I am a scientific #author and #illustrator. My educational background is in #zoology but my focus is on #fossil ecosystems and these days I am probably most well known for talking about #palaeobotany

"Strategies for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration must acknowledge the long duration of human impacts and the degree to which ecological changes today differ from prehuman dynamics."
Loving the abstract's conclusions already! I think it is always important to see the bigger picture in everything. Easier to make everything relevant with bigger lens.
