WIP #paleoart of adult Dilophosaurus racing across a Kayenta salt flat to cannibalise a younger conspecific. One of the last @PalaeoGames images I'm working on (46 in total, 4 to go, including this one).

Most of my recent #paleoart is embargoed, save for upcoming #Patreon posts. Here're some previews of things being revealed soon for #FossilFriday: Zalmoxes, Struthiosaurus and Beipiaosaurus and Owenodon. #dinosaurs

Working on #paleoart of a rearing Kentrosaurus for the Palaeogames book today. It's not doing any favours to dissuade my opinion that Godzilla is best interpreted as a gigantic, bipedal, carnivorous stegosaur - official canonical backstory be damned!

markwitton,

@TKSivgin The folks behind the film stated that Tyrannosaurus, Iguanodon and Stegosaurus were used to design Godzilla, but I don't think they talk about hybrids in the film. IIRC, it's just ID'd as a mutated dinosaur. The theropod stuff comes later - they find the dinosaur species Godzilla was mutated from, and it's a T. rex-knockoff.

New paper! Thomas M. Cullen, Derek W. Larson, Diane Scott, me, Tea Maho, Kirstin S. Brink, David C. Evans and Robert Reisz
in Science with a detailed study on theropod #dinosaur lips. Time to say goodbye to lipless T. rex, folks. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abo7877.

The paper is open-access, so you can dive right in. Or if you want a semi-technical summary, I have one at my blog: https://markwitton-com.blogspot.com/2023/03/new-paper-fresh-evidence-and-novel.html. Here's our PR #paleoart showing a lipped & gummed T. rex swallowing a juvenile hadrosaur...
