Every #WWD2025 protagonist is based on an actual specimen excavated by paleontologists. The footage of their digsite work may not be as glamorous as VFX sequences, but they are an important part of the storytelling and the scicomm. SALUTE the great paleontologists of our time!

bbc.co.uk/programmes/art… The life of a palaeontologist in Alberta A cool little article by Emily Bamforth on what Walking With Dinosaurs can do to inspire future palaeontologists. I can’t wait for you guys to see the series, it’s gonna be spectacular!

Walking with Dinosaurs premieres tomorrow at 6.25pm on BBC One and iPlayer, followed by international releases in the weeks after. With that, I thought it was a good time to write this little (but I think important) thread. (1/16)

Only a short time until #walkingwithdinosaurs releases in the UK! Here’s a video from BBC news about our world famous #Pachyrhinosaurus bonebed at Pipestone Creek! It’s hard to keep my excitement contained to have been a part of this project! youtu.be/sN4qZV7KNGw?si…

Reminder to please be considerate to folks who aren't able to watch the series yet!

So they DID have scales?!?!?

#FossilFriday! Here are toe bones from two Pachyrhinosaurus: one from a dog-sized juvenile, the other from a bison-sized adult. At Pipestone Creek, about 1/3 of the fossils we find are from juveniles, which gives us rare insight into how these dinosaurs changed as they grew up.

A screening for "Walking with Dinosaurs" was held Tuesday night at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. bit.ly/3ZbzuIv

THAT'S ONE ✅ @SentinelStorage | #LetsGoOilers

Paleontologists have discovered a spiny, three-eyed predator that once lived in Western Canada. Joe Moysiuk, lead of the study, is an adjunct prof in the @USask geological sciences dept. manitobamuseum.ca/mm-rom-discove…

Hell yeah! Mark James Powers and Emily Bamforth representing some awesome Alberta Paleo featured in the show 🦖

Young people wanting to break into palaeontology, but not wanting to diversify their skillset to encompass soft and interdisciplinary skills. There's not many jobs in palaeo. Don't treat it as a personal failure when you've to alter your career trajectory mid-way.

Some recent drafts of ceratopsians.#paleoart #dinosaur #ceratopsians

Something similar happened to me at a museum (out of all institutions) at some point. Paleoart not being granted the same respect as all other arts is a major pet peeve of mine. I think in large parts because paleoartists are largely invisible to people, images...

nature.com/articles/s4158… The final chapter of my dissertation is now out! Will have more to say on this later!

#FossilFriday! This nearly perfect 8 mm tooth, found just last week, is from a Boreonykus certekorum—a small dromaeosaur from the Pipestone Creek Bonebed. To identify a species from a tooth, we study the unique serrations along the tooth's surface.

Walking with Dinosaurs is out in North America tomorrow! I hope you all enjoy the series across the pond! 🥰

Found another lost dinosaur quarry late yesterday: the holotype of Edmontosaurus regalis. #CMNPalaeo
