My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

A greyscale version of my 2023 illustration of the early dinosaur Eoraptor facing off with Barosaurus (scaled to BYU 9024) and Spinosaurus, from DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR, by Prof Michael Benton (published by Princeton University Press).

Here's my 2023 illustration of an Allosaurus eating a juvenile Barosaurus while an adult walks by (immune from attack), from DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR, by Prof Michael Benton (published by Princeton University Press). 50% off this book here: https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691244297/dinosaur-behavior?srsltid=AfmBOooV70aUfXJ1Di_0Ryw47pv1_r0vBnw3TniZ0NHk-9OFkf5vcEwJ

Dinosaur Behavior

A stunningly illustrated guide to these extraordinary creatures from a world-renowned paleontologist

terrible lizards, by @dave_hone and @iszi , has released a wonderful interview with Dr. Rebecca Hunt-Foster, paleontologist and curator at the US Dinosaur National Monument.

@dantheclamman , there are freshwater clam fossils in in the quarry with all those dinosaurs, but there are apparently no fish fossils! What the heck!

Terrible Lizards: TLS11E04 Curating Dinosaurs

We have talked about all manner of fundamentals of research on fossils over the years here on Terrible Lizards, including finding and excavating fossils, writing and publishing papers, reconstructing animals from fragments and more. But we’ve somehow really glossed over the role of museums that store and protect fossils and make them available for research, as well as carrying out their own work too. In order to correct this oversight, today we welcome ReBecca Hunt-Foster who is the curator on the legendary Dinosaur National Monument in Utah. Here she takes us through her background and research and the challenges of looking after one of the most famous and important dinosaur sites in the world.   Links:   ReBecca on Bluesky: @dinochick.bsky.social Here’s the link to the US National Parks website about Dinosaur National Monument: An old blogpost of Dave’s about the bitten baby Diplodocus femur: https://archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2018/04/22/non-tyrannosaurs-biting-like-tyrannosaurs/

Here's the diplodocid sauropod growth rate mural art I created for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, in 2021.

Now to look carefully at 122 photographs of #Barosaurus and decide which ones to include in a forthcoming paper.

In 1889, Postmistress of Postville, Ms Isabella R. Ellerman found the first fossils of Barosaurus.

Later that year Othniel Charles Marsh and John Bell Hatcher excavated a small section of the remains. This consisted of six tail vertebra.

In 1898, Marsh's assistant George Reber Wieland returned and collected more vertebrae, ribs and limb bones.

In 1919, Richard Swann Lull finally finished preparing and formally described Barosaurus

Two sauropod sketches: a sexually confident Barosaurus and a Diplodocus beating up a failed allosaur ambush (both from 2013).

I'll post a few conference sketches today. Here's a well dressed male Barosaurus (should have been posted a little earlier, in 2013).
