After watching the first three episodes, i can safely say that CT is right up there with Camp Cretaceous as some of the best JP content since the original movies.
The way they dive into the dumpster fire of a world made by the movies and correct their mistakes is brilliant and i cant wait for more.
Has anyone seen my teef? Enough lip from you sonny, I'f got enough of that already.

Pterodactylus was a little pterosaur that lived in Germany during the Late Jurassic, about 145 million years ago. It is known from several excellent fossils, which include soft-tissue impressions of it fur, wings, and crest. It is also a very pretty little animal.

Life-sized paintings make no sense on the internet, of course, because device-makers and software vendor never got together for a goddamn standard about how big things would be displayed because fuck everyone.
(Much like the “send something to someone right next to you” problem that they’ve fumbled for decades.)
Two fossil imprints of the shells of Trigonia dug up today near the top of a hill in #Bath#Somerset#UK. These molluscs lived in the Jurassic Period at a time when even the hills in Bath were under water. The rock is (I think) Inferior Oolite. #Fossils#Mollusc#Fossil#Nature#Geology#Jurassic
Rhamphorhynchus muensteri was a medium-sized pterosaur from the Late Jurassic of Germany. It is known from dozens of excellent fossils, including one of the best Mesozoic fossils I know of, the famous darkwing specimen.
Due to the religious dogma of the time, Parmigianino was unable to express his full intentions in his version of The Madonna with the Long Neck. I've fixed it for him.
Dearc sgiathanach was a #rhamphorynchid found on the Isle of Skye in #Scotland, and described by Natalia Jagielska and Steve Brusatte. Its wingspan was estimated at about 2.5 meters (8.2 feet), which was much bigger than the next biggest #pterosaurs at that time!

Urda buechneri is a species of potentially parasitic isopod from the Middle Jurassic of Germany that was described by @mcranium et al. in 2023. The paper that describes U. buechneri also discusses how the genus Urda fits on the isopod family tree and how the associated fossils relate to the extant isopod family Gnathiidae.

Probably one of the only #Jurassic#dinosaur#museums where they have "(...) the replicas include a couple of #copulating Tyrannosaurus rex, (...)"🦖🦖 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MUJA-Tyrannosaurus.JPG
January: Microraptor and the Flowers. I started this year out making paleoart watercolours and never really stopped. This one is about a Microraptor investigating the first flowers she’s ever seen. The flowers are Lingyuananthus, a lovely little fossil flower described in an even lovelier paper that was not behind a paywall for once.
April: Hadrocodium’s mossy home. I got the idea for one of the tiniest mammals of all time making its home in some moss on a tree while hiking in Switzerland and coming across some truly impressive moss beards.
July: Caihong and the Kalligrammatids. Kalligrammatids were neuropterans that superficially resembled large butterflies, but unlike them their wings were transparent! I combined them with the gorgeous iridescence of Caihong and backlighting for a fun experiment.
Could 'The Last of Us' or 'Jurassic Park' really happen? We asked scientists about sci-fi movies. (www.nationalgeographic.com)
Science fiction often exaggerates or distorts science for dramatic effect—but many movies and TV shows have a nugget of realism at their core.
