Dsungaripterus. Museo de la Universidad de Valencia de Historia Natural MUVHN. Dsungaripterus was a pterosaur which lived approximately 130 million years ago, during the early Cretaceous period, in what is now Asia. Dsungaripterus was a carnivore, it had long, narrow and curved jaws with a pointed tip, it could use it to pry up shellfish out of the soft sands. It had flat teeth at the back of the jaws, probably for crushing the shells of its pray. _____________________________________________ Dsungaripterus era un pterosaurio que vivió hace unos 130m.a., en lo que hoy en día es Asia. Dsungaripterus era carnívoro, tenía unas mandíbulas curvadas, largas y estrechas con un pico afilado, que podría usar para extraer moluscos de la arena. En la parte trasera de sus mandíbulas tenía dientes romos, usados probablemente para triturar las conchas de sus presas. #pterosaur #flyreptile #fossil #paleontology #paleontologist #paleontologymuseum #paleontologia #paleoart #nature #fossilphotography #fossillovers #fossils #geology #rocks #dinosaur #dinosaurios #jurassicworld #cretaceous #cretaceousworld #museum #museouniversidadvalencia

Who knows what this crazy looking thing is? Bonus points if you can tell us where this particular fossil lives. (Give them a fighting chance, @ab.ba89 )

One of the absolute highlights of our visit to the @royaltyrrell was seeing this beauty up close and personal. Borealopelta (meaning "Northern shield") is a genus of nodosaurid ankylosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada. It contains a single species, B. markmitchelli, named in 2017 after Mark Mitchell, the preparator who invested over 7,000 hours to bring it back to life, by Dr. Caleb Brown and colleagues. . Discovered at an oil sands mine north of Fort McMurray, Alberta, the specimen is among the best preserved dinosaur fossils of its size ever found. The creature was preserved upside down when it was swept out to sea and ended up at the bottom of a sea floor. As a result, it preserved not only the armor in their life positions, but also remains of their keratin sheaths and overlying skin. Melanosomes were also found that indicate a countershaded reddish skin tone. . Sadly, the back half was scooped up by heavy machinery and transported away from the front half before anyone could identify it, and it remains lost (at least for now). But in the immortal words of Dr. Brown, “At least we found the front half.” . Some of this content came from Wikipedia, and there’s a whole lot more if you’re interested. Also, be sure to check out http://www.tyrrellmuseum.com/ (link in bio) and visit the museum!

This is another beauty from Stuttgart’s Natural History Museum. This is an incredibly well preserved early Equid known as Palaeotherium and dates back to the early Eocene. This fossil was found perfectly preserved in the oily shale of the Messel fossil pit in Germany. Although the preservation is incredible, once Messel fossils are exposed they become immediately fragile and must be quickly and carefully prepared using the ‘transfer technique’ onto a more sturdy resin substrate. This allows the fossil to maintain its detail but gives it far more strength in the process. #stuttgart #earlyhorse #horse #equid #stuttgartnaturalhistorymuseum #naturalhistorymuseum #germany #germany #fossil #fossils #fossilsofinstagram #fossillovers #fossiladdict #messel #messelfossil #evolution #extinct #extinction #horses #palaeontology #paleontology #paleoart #palaeoart

I want to make you a little easier this Monday with this gorgeous Erbenochile erbeni. It has great cleaning job! Enjoy it!

A 70-80 million year old fossil echinoid (sea urchin) preserved in flint! Flint echinoids like this Micraster are one of the most common and easy to find fossils along the island’s coastline, being found wherever flint pebbles and gravels are washed up! They originate from the flint bands in the chalk and lived at a time when most of Europe sat 300 metres beneath a late Cretaceous sea! To find your own echinoids and other amazing Isle of Wight fossils why not book a place one of our guided fossil walks! For booking info visit our website!

UPDATE #2: Time for another timelapse video of a further 2 hours spent on the preparation of this extinct Sabre-tooth Hoplophoneus skull. I’m doing this manually and very slowly to avoid damaging the fossil and the teeth. In fact I feel like a prehistoric dentist, carefully working to clean between every tooth! The interesting thing during this preparation was the discovery of one of its thoracic vertebrae perfectly preserved in front of its lower jaw. In the second half of this short video you’ll see it just below the teeth and can be identified by its long spinous process. This is of course not in the correct location so it gives a good clue that this Hoplophoneus body was probably scavenged after death, jumbling up the bones, before it was fossilised. I can see under the skull another vertebrae and a limb bone. This is turning out to be quite some jigsaw. #fossilpreparation #fossilprep #hoplophoneus #falsesabretoothcat #nimravid #sabretooth #teeth #dentist #dentistry #fossil #fossils #fossilsofinstagram #fossiladdict #fossillovers #oligocene #whiteriver #southdakota #palaeoart #paleoart #palaeontology #paleontology #extinct #extinction #evolution #skull #skullsofinstagram #timelapse #timelapsevideo
