The collapse of Twitter has made it much harder for me to advertise myself and my work. I illustrate bones and skeletons, mostly of dinosaurs and pterosaurs. I offer heavy discounts for academic customers. Further examples of my work: www.skyemcdavid.com/gallery
Yunmenglong ruyangensis, a large sauropod known from the Early to Late Cretaceous of Henan Province, central China. Phylogenetic analysis recovered Yunmenglong as a sister taxon of Qiaowanlong, both grouped with Erketu forms a new clade of somphospondylan sauropod.
Result from the Shanwang formation #paleostream! Here I show the place during autumn, a scenario we weren't able to show yet. It's an interesting time of year to cover, not only because of the novel colors in the flora but also the behaviors that many ungulates show during this time.
Apologies to everyone that I keep forgetting this site exists!

Got some new followers overnight so I figured I’d say hi! 👋 I’m Tristan, currently working in fields of geobiology, spectroscopy, and omics. I dig microbes, isotopes, open science, and dataviz. I just started a postdoc at Caltech on new projects looking at carbon in soil and arid ecosystems. 🦠 🧪
Subo una reconstrucción de Hypsilophodon, que ayer me enteré de que también hay restos suyos en España, y me apetecía añadirlo al catálogo de bichos moertos de por aquí
