Tiny dinosaur footprints found in Parrsboro here in Nova Scotia were a fascination for me when I was a kid. I've kept this disc from one of my family's many visits to Parrsboro for many years.

Here’s the #watercolor #paleoart I was commissioned by Dr. Danny Barta for his recent paper showing irregular growth patterns in #Coelophysis. I loved this project since each animal shown is actually based on a real specimen featured in the study. #dinosaur #Triassic Read the paper here https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-22216-x

One of my favorite projects while running the CMNH prep lab was extracting a small skull from this block of Coelophysis fossils. This was one of the original jackets collected from the first excavation of the now famous Ghost Ranch quarry in New Mexico (Block XII if memory serves). It was prepared over 8 years by long-time CMNH volunteer Dale Zelinski. Dale passed away in 2019 but his work lives on.

@TheWoodWyrm This post reminded me of how much fun it is to say many dinosaur names, such as #parasaurolophus or #coelophysis, out loud.
Thinking about Coelophysis because of… reasons
