Episode 95: It's Been Haolong? — Tetrapod Zoology

 A year and a half of of catchup! TetZooCon regenerates into DinoCon , 20 years of TetZoo, Haolong , Spinosaurus (URG!) , and much more meandering and tangentiality.

Tetrapod Zoology

Hi folks, as many of you might know, the successor to #TetZooCon, #Dinocon is happening this month in Exeter.

I was scheduled to do the palaeoart workshop, but unfortunately I am in Australia for family reasons, and can't make it. The good news is that Joschua Knüppe has stepped in and I'm sure it will be great (better even!).

I'm here, but only occasionally. So... #TetZooCon is no more: 2024 was our last one. But hello #DinoConUK, starting August 2025.

In the past I worked as a tour guide (I've had a LOT of jobs). This year I decided to run my own tour in conjunction with #TetZooCon - we called it #TetZooTour - and I'm pleased to say that it really worked out. Museums, zoos, science sites, natural history.

The Inaugural 2024 TetZooTour of Southern England — Tetrapod Zoology

If you read the previous article – recapping the events of TetZooCon 2024 – you’ll know that things went well. But what was that cryptic mention toward the end of a tour ?

We just held the last ever #TetZooCon. A lot went down: it was, I think, the biggest and the best. Huge thanks to everyone who helped make it what it was. Here's a long write-up with lots of pictures.... https://tetzoo.com/blog/2024/10/7/the-last-tetzoocon What's next? Well...
The Last TetZooCon — Tetrapod Zoology

Once again, it was recently that part of the year where a good number of science enthusiasts, natural historians, wildlife artists, scientists, researchers and interested members of the public gather in London for what we call TetZooCon: the annual Tetrapod Zoology Convention…

Here's a #pen and #watercolour pencil #painting I finished last week (just in time for #TetZooCon). It was commissioned by Dr Dave Hone and depicts a pair of #Confuciusornis tail feathers being obscured by the leaves of the #Ginkgo apodes tree it is sat in. #paleoart

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Continuing with 2016 and the TetZooCon theme, here's a video from the TetZooCon 2016 palaeoart workshop. After I talked about reconstructing Psittacosaurus, the attendees sculpted their own psittacosaurs. Choosing the winner was tricky!
