I don't have any new #Ginkgoales for today, but instead, here's a sneak peek at some artwork I'll be displaying this weekend at #TetZooCon!!! I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone there! Lemme know if you're going so I can be sure to say Hi! #paleoart #TetZooCon2023

Almost late with today's #species, but here's #Ginkgo #apodes! Unlike most species I've spoken about, these #leaves have associated reproductive organs (hence the genus name). These leaves were found in the #Yixian Formation and are some of the smallest of any #Ginkgoales taxa.

Happy #FossilFriday! Today, we're taking a look at #Ginkgo #biloba, the single living member of the #Ginkgoales. These drawings were all based on leaves I collected from three trees that grow near me, and they represent only a small amount of modern leaf diversity. #paleobotany

Today's species is one of the most widespread and long lasting of #Ginkgoales species. This is #Ginkgo #adiantoides! It lived from the latest Cretaceous all the way until the Pliocene and is perhaps the closest relative of the modern #Ginkgobiloba. #paleobotany #paleoart

Up next is #Ginkgoites #patagonica, a species from the #Eocene of Argentina. This species had leaves with 2-8 narrow round-tiped lobes and is the youngest #Ginkgoales species from the southern hemisphere. #paleobotany #Ginkgo #paleoart #SciComm #plants

The #Ginkgoales mega-diagram I've been working on is finally done, so I've written a #blog post to showcase it! There is a key to all the species included and some personal thoughts I had while doing it. I hope you enjoy!

An update on the #Ginkgoales diversity diagram. And also a question; I don't know when to stop when it comes to wanting to show diversity, but I'm going to have to here. How do I know when I've displayed morphological disparaty well enough to be representative and unbiased? #paleobotany #plants
