My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Some zooms from my 2022 painting of a Thescelosaurus (front lit by the low Sun from the west) amidst the Tanis devastation caused by the end Cretaceous Chicxulub asteroid impact. Also features are Triceratops and Quetzalcoatlus.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Here's a 2022 painting of a Thescelosaurus (front lit by the low Sun from the west) amidst the Tanis devastation caused by the end Cretaceous Chicxulub asteroid impact (the orange glow from the south). Also features are Triceratops and Quetzalcoatlus.

An article published in the journal "Scientific Reports" offers new information on the sensory capabilities of Thescelosaurus neglectus, a small dinosaur that lived just before the great extinction that wiped out non-avian dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period. Paleontologists David Button and Lindsay Zanno submitted a Thescelosaurus skull to a CT scan.

If you're subscribed to #PrehistoricTimes magazine this drawing might look familiar...

I'm really honored to have my artwork featured in the Thescelosaurus article alongside some incredible paleoart! Check out the latest issue if you haven't yet :)

(a small ornithopod dinosaur) walking along a riverbank. it is about to climb into a burrow underneath the root system of a large tree.

belated #introduction post-- hi, i'm em (e/em/eir or they/them), i joined this thing a few months ago and just haven't used it much but now is as good a time as any i suppose. i'm an artist living in NYC and i make prints, walk dogs, and draw dinosaurs

for the content i'm going to try and be posting, here's the initial sketch for a Thescelosaurus illustration that i've been thinking about! coming soon(ish) to a press near you...

…selected a dinosaur from the end of the Late Cretaceous that fit the reported size and by having “bony studs” (which I don’t think is true?). Despite having “few clues” Hall invents a #SpeculativeZoology scenario where #Thescelosaurus survives the (asteroid-free, hmm…) Cretaceous and becomes a snorkel-bearing aquatic species primarily dwelling in the Gulf Stream and Bahamas, going to estuaries only to lay eggs. Oh, and the pink color is derived from carotenoids.

In Wonders 1(4), Hall posits that the ornithischian dinosaur #Thescelosaurus is alive and well in Jacksonville, Florida… albeit pink, aquatic and with snorkels. Compared to the Chicago Clidastes (Wonders 2(2)), Hall is relatively careful with the #PrehistoricSurvivorParadigm — he actually has a rough idea of what this animal looks like. Hall took the adjectival use of “dinosaur” by the eyewitnesses* completely literally and…

First post! Here is a #watercolor I did for @Boydpaleo’s recent talk about finding bony spurs on the forearms of some mature #Thescelosaurus! We already know they had bony plates on their ribs so makes sense if they were hitting each other there, using the plates as defense. #dinosaur #paleoart
