Every river crossing is potentially lethal for an aging leopard. When a large Nile crocodile erupts from the Sabie River, the instincts that kept him alive this long kicked in one last time. 📷 Aaron Pincus

Prepared partial maxilla of Daspletosaurus in 2019. I opened a box full of bags of surface collected items a few weeks ago. Many of pieces were part of it and it became a huge maxilla in the end 🦖 #FossilFriday #金曜日だから化石貼る

Ankylosaurid skull (?Tarchia) exhibited at the Pocheon "Art garden 1999". I think this is the only occurrence of a scleral ring preserved for an ankylosaur #FossilFriday #thyreophora #ankylosauria

Sam and I compared the @SMNStuttgart largest Temnodontosaurus vertebra of the collection to the largest articulated specimen (just over 8 meters), what a beast this one must have been! Art by Bob Nicholls #fossilfriday

本日の調査対象より、"Sphaerotholus"！ 昨日に引き続きパキケファロサウルス類ですね。 パキの仲間では数少ない、下顎が見つかってる標本なので、その価値は計り知れないです。 現在ではStegocerasの近縁である可能性も指摘されており、追加標本の発見が待たれる所です。

角竜の頭骨標本展示コーナーが圧巻！ 前回の2頭(セントロサウルス／カスモサウルス)に、たんば恐竜博物館所蔵の4頭(ディアブロケラトプス／ナストケラトプス／スティラコサウルス／コアウイラケラトプス)とパキリノサウルスが合流。計7頭が並ぶ姿はまさに壮観でした。 #大恐竜展 #たんば恐竜博物館

The Giant of the Skies, Tropeognathus mesembrinus is legendary for its inclusion in Walking with Dinosaurs and the real animal was just as impressive if not more so. Tropeognathus ranks among the largest non-azhdarchid pterosaurs of all time.

For people unaware: the SVP abstracts this year are password protected and not public, me and many others have pushed for this cause... well the previous system was simply stupid. The abstracts SHOULD become open after the conference.

Does anyone know when the SVP abstracts volume will be published? 👀
