Tomorrow I’ll be in Pittsburgh at the Penn Hills library discussing the last 200 years of paleontology. Outlining how our understanding of dinosaurs/prehistory have evolved. If you’re in the area, please register and join us! I’ll be featuring the new DeadSound video naturally

It’s my birthday and #FossilFriday, so I’m sharing my favorite specimen of my favorite dinosaur. The REAL dentary of CM 9380, the holotype of Tyrannosaurus rex…


So tomorrow is my birthday! I’ll be 28(the original age estimate for @SUEtheTrex). If you want to gift me anything, please consider donating to my current mobile museum fundraiser. If something more personal, I wouldn’t say no. I’ll say ask @Antrodemus, he knows me well, lol

So obviously it’s a joke but here’s a neat fact: none of these animals are cats. The opossum is a marsupial and the rest are all caniforms…
