Tupandactylus imperator with Ginkgo huolinhensis. Both species from the Early Cretaceous. There is an interesting paper which discusses how pterosaur pycnofibres may be synonymous with bird feathers featuring T. imperator. Cool stuff!

Colours and patterns were inspired by toucans, various parakeets and monarch butterflies :)

Concavenator is such a cool looking dinosaur, no matter how you decide to depict it.

anyway just because I saw a different permutation of this meme I have to share literally my favourite version of it:

It's just so perfect. The amount of blackout text. The fact it works without additions. The succinctness of the phrase. The palaeontology basis. The way it implies that tetrapods only left the water and evolved in 1562.

I read the phrase “transitioned onto land” for about the thousandth time the other day, but this time I noticed an opportunity!

A dinosaur claw of an indeterminate spinosaurid, likely Suchomimus tenerensis from the Elrhaz Formation in Gadoufaoua, Niger. Baryonychine spinosaurids like Suchomimus and Baryonyx are known for their robust hand claws in contrast to the more narrow morphology seen in derived spinosaurines like Spinosaurus.
