- Reposted by Dominik HammelsbruchIncredible, a spiky iguanodont was just described!! The structures seem different from proto-feathers in dinosaurs and spiky scales in squamates!! #paleontology #dinosaurs #science Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Reposted by Dominik HammelsbruchResult from the Djadochta Formation #paleostream! This iconic place gave me a fantastic challenge, not just in terms of environment but also because besides the dinosaur the really cool stuff from here is actually rather small. I ended up with a rather unusual composition...

- Starting off 2026 with two belated birthday gifts First is the Safari woolly rhinoceros, been meaning to pick this one up for my small rhino collection Absolutely stunning sculpt and it /does/ scale with my Indian rhino afaik Gonna have to pick up Safari's white rhino next
- Next the Safari Triceratops, a model I had my eyes on for a while, may actually tie with the Nasutoceratops as my favorite of their ceratopsians, this guy has a big shelf presence Also bonus: another great addition to my 1:35 group (Forgot the Safari Sauropelta which MAY count)

- Ultraman Omega already had a therizinosaur-inspired kaiju and now we got a Spinosaurus which makes me very happy (it IS my favorite dinosaur after all) Also he blasted a guy to smithereens.
- Appalachiosaurus, Lijiangosaurus, Teraterpeton (a homage to the giant lizard from One Million Years BC cause this guy reminded me of the time monster movies just used actual lizards) and a sneaky Gerrothorax for this week's #paleostream
- Reposted by Dominik HammelsbruchResult from the Talara tar seeps #paleostream! Like the La Brea tar pits this was Pleistocene death trap, however these fossils come from Peru so everything has a south american flavor. This piece is set at the beginning of the rainy season, with new green beginning to sprout...

- Stumbled upon the Schleich komodo dragon during christmas shopping, hard to say no to such a nice model for three bucks! The old 1999 one was one of my favorite extant animal figures as a kid, komodo dragons are just that cool
