Kronosaurus, a bus-sized pliosaur, ambushing a herd of Platypterygine ichtyosaurs
(art commission for @BeatTheBread on twitter :3)
based in an actual specimen! (down in replies)
I'M BATMAN! This ridiculous looking harbor seal isn't fighting crime, just fighting dry eyes. Pinnipeds still produce tears, but no longer have a tear duct to drain tear fluid into the nasal passage, so it just kind of leaks out everywhere. Not sure how it made this pattern though 🐬

There really is a tweet for everything
#molluskmonday New fossil #watercolor of the extinct Miocene volute snail Fulgogaria indurata from the Astoria Formation of Oregon. These are prized finds in the PNW; this one is based on a specimen in my friend Kent Gibson's collection. #fossil #fossils #paleo 🦖🦑🐡

This is so great!
Is there a photo competition for gross nature pictures?
