Diplodocus, my favorite sauropod! A small preview from the video I prepared for "The BIG 8" exhibition, which included an original skeleton of this genus. The clip is real-time scene created using UE4

My fav depiction of the Trossingen Formation, even knowing how outdated is, but also how many things it predicted FROM: The children's dinosaur encyclopedia. Art by Simon Webb

@SerpenIllus Amazing. I love the Triassic...

Why is my book taking so long to finish? Well, one of many reasons are Aetosaurs! They are very complicated to reconstruct AND my book has a lot of them! 😅 But Aetosaurs are awesome! Aetosaurs are pseudosuchians, and thus related to modern crocodilians

@Sketchy_raptor Congrats!!

Published today in Biological Reviews: "New perspectives on body size and shape evolution in dinosaurs" - the biggest paper from my PhD (my favourite chapter, too). doi.org/10.1111/brv.70… Here's a thread outlining some of our key findings. (1/10)

@FedeItaliano76 Fantastic style

Paintings by Nihonga artist Kazu Saitō (born 1960)

@JoschuaKnuppe beautiful composition and lighting :)

Poster for an exhibition that will open in April. Had a lot of fun with this and the exhibition itself will have lots more ;) #paleoart

@Eofauna amazing, I can't wait!

Coming in 2025... "Elephants and Their Fossil Relatives: A 60 Million Year Journey" The ultimate illustrated guide to elephants and their prehistoric relatives Asier Larramendi & Marco P. Ferretti Illustrated by Shu-yu Hsu Princeton University Press press.princeton.edu/books/hardcove…

Not the most obscure, but there are fossils of jewel beetles from Messel (Eocene Germany) that still shine 🪲✨

@mrinalfreestyle @InstinctionGame Amazing! Very naturalistic

Deinotherium Idle animation I made for the upcoming game @InstinctionGame . This is just a test render I made using Unreal Engine. Keep an eye out for more updates here : lnkd.in/g5rJ9QBV #vfx #cgi #gaming #dinosaur #prehistoric #elephant #animation #UnrealEngine5

Coming soon! English version of "Deep Time - The History of Life on Earth". -464 pages of illustrated scientific tale, from the origins to the present- When? soon!

@AleSiryus grazie! Sì, anche nella mia testa era come già ambientato in una scena haha Adoro i diorami

@ManucciFabio Per me, tanta roba! Ci vedrei un bel diorama 😉

Sinosaurus, I modeled it for Showanna Studio. Once considered a species of Dilophosaurus, its fossils are so well-preserved that even the crests and skull are intact (unlike its famous American cousin, whose crest edges remain incomplete).

Two variations of the pose.

Yes, the name *Sinosaurus sinensis* literally means 'Chinese reptile from China,' due to its classification from *Dilophosaurus*. It doesn’t get much better with the type species, *S. triassicus* (which was later found to be jurassic). I love Sinosaurus for this reason too.

@AleSiryus Grazie! Sì, volevo renderlo dinamico e un po' diverso dal solito, come se fosse sorpreso vedendo uno pterosauro in volo o durante una lotta. Alla fine per il modellino l'hanno lievemente cambiata, ma come risultato non mi dispiace

@ManucciFabio Che posa particolare, e nonostante ciò sembra un movimento realistico! La texture della pelle è super! Complimenti 👏🏻👏🏻

@HimaRudolf Amazing!

Azhdar

A young pachycephalosaur... immersed in greenery (I had prepared the animatable model for the "Bittirex" exhibition) #dinosaur #paleoart

@FedeItaliano76 Truly evocative, I love his historical paintings

František Kupka's 'Babylon' (1906)

@SrAcre Sure, the reconstructed species are: Eoplatax papilio, Galeorhinus cuvieri, Padovathurus gaudryi and Mene rhombea

@ManucciFabio these cool fish have names?

Bolca is a sort of Paleo-Eldorado of the Eocene, one of the earliest discovered fossil sites in the world, known for over 500 years! Here, I have reconstructed some of its species, with remains so complete that they preserve traces of color, internal organs and cartilage
