From the vault: my Nature cover art from 2022, featuring Tupandactylus, regarding the paper "Pterosaur melanosomes support signalling functions for early feathers," from Cincotta et al: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9046085/
Big thanks to the wonderful Kallie Moore, palaeontologist, science communicator, and co-host of Eons • PBS for such a fantastic endorsement!
“THE SECRET LIVES OF DINOSAURS”, written by Dr Dean Lomax and illustrated by @BobNicholls, is coming September 23, 2025. Available worldwide.
From the vault: my Nature cover art from 2017, featuring Kulindadromeus, regarding the paper "A new hypothesis of dinosaur relationships and early dinosaur evolution," from Matthew Baron, David Norman, & Paul Barrett.
My desk at the moment...not my primary work space, but this is essentially my research "workshop".

Four distinct lineages of bird survived the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 66 million years ago, giving rise to ostriches and relatives (Palaeognathae), waterfowl (Anseriformes), ground-living fowl (Galliformes), and "modern birds" (Neoaves).

Life...From a Certain Point of View · Big fossil whelkThis October Western Science Center is opening a new temporary exhibit, Life in the Slow Lane: The Secret Lives of Snails and Slugs. As the title implies, we'll be looking at all things gastropods, including their diversity, behavior, and fossil record. I love doing this kind of exhibit because it
Today's #fossilfriday is something unusual! While the new Orca exhibit at the Royal Alberta Museum focuses on their current status, it also explores the palaeontology of toothed whales. This fossil skull of Cotylocara maceia is notable for the depression where the melon, a fatty organ for echolocation, would sit - one of the earliest signs of echolocation in whales!
News report on a discovery from Dinosaur Provincial Park! McGill graduate student Andre Mueller describes a new species of fossil dragonfly, Cordualadensa acorni.
This is one of the first insect finds from the Dinosaur Park Formation. Between this and the find of an extensive trackway from earlier this summer, it looks like there's a lot of interesting stuff coming out of this formation!

CBCAlberta's Andre Mueller said his heart skipped a beat when he discovered the dragonfly fossil | CBC NewsGrowing up in Medicine Hat, Alberta, about 125 kilometres southeast of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Andre Mueller was fascinated by the ancient creatures. More recently, the McGill student helped find a new species of dragonfly in a fossil there and published a research paper on it, which helps provide insights into life 75 million years ago.
