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.

Happy #StPatrickDay and happy #FossilFriday!
I thought I'd share an illustration I've done for @PalaeoGames new TTRPG sourcebook!
Dr Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs!

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

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.
