While more difficult than PicMonkey, which puts hundreds of resources at your fingertips, with Photoshop you can create anything you can dream up! I found a helpful video to make a creepy half-you, half skull profile pic. The video itself is almost half an hour, or you can get text inst...
we spent a decent amount of time checking out DNM 28, a skull and associated bits ofCamarasaurus. In particular, I got some shots of the axis (the second cervical vertebra behind the head), and it got me thinking about pneumaticity in this unusual element. Why I failed to get a full...

Specify the radius to take the selection from. The default is 50 and should work fine. If it doesn’t, play around with the radius until you get the desired result. Once the heal is applied, the watermark should be gone. Carry on with the rest of the image carefully selecting the area...
(1901, plate 3).C, mounted skeleton ofApatosaurus louisaein the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, skull and first seven and a half cervical vertebrae in right posterolateral view. Red lines represent the longus colli ventralis muscles, originating on the anterior aspect of one cervical rib and...
It’s a whale skull, but I have no idea what kind. Can anyone help out? So much for vertebrates — it was really all about the inverts. Here are six of them: I have a 2lb lobster here; my colleague Jakub went for two 1lb lobsters, as did Jason and Wolfram (not pictured). Th...
Mature male saltwater crocodiles Crocodylus porosus are typically about 4.5 m long, but the world-record verified skull length is 76 cm long indicating a total length of about 7 m. Having a length 1.56 times that of a typical individual, this beast would have massed 1.56^3 = 3.75 times as...
I pointed that out when I did that paper on the skull bones of Allosaurus from the Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. There were two short maxilla from two individuals that were not juveniles, so ontogeny was not a factor in the shortness. Standard procedure has been to ignore them as “...
Second, I am intrigued/haunted by the possibility that extant birds might not represent the apex of saurischian lung/air sac evolution. Birds survived the K-Pg disaster because they were small; respiratory efficiency had little or nothing to do with it (evidence: all the other small-bodied te...
