Borealopelta markmitchelli

Known as a nodosaur, this 110 million-year-old armored plant-eater, is the best preserved fossil of its kind ever found. It still has preserved skin remnants on its face and toe pads.

hehehe going to the Royal Tyrell Museum again in August, and I am boiling over with an idea

So I've been to the Royal Tyrell 3 times already before this, it is such an amazing museum :,) but this time I want to work on some paleoart if I can

So the plan is to just go around and reconstruct the dinosaurs as they are mounted in the museum, and i think that will be really fun as I usually go off of 2D skeletal drawings as a reference for accuracy, so this’ll be like drawing my dinosaur models… just, skinned and de-meat-ifyed (?)

If anyone a specific Canadian dinosaur or maybe Montana-area ones as well (I think Tyrell has a few) let me know and I can keep an eye out for them :) and hopefully sneak in a little doodle!

T. rex Madness Final! Fossil Specimen (Black Beauty: RTMP 81.6.1) vs. Fossil Specimen (Sue FMNH PR 2081)

Fossil Specimen (Black Beauty: RTMP 81.6.1) – Black Beauty, discovered in 1980, is distinguished both by its striking appearance and by being the first T. rex specimen to receive a nickname. It is on display at the Royal Tyrell Museum in Alberta, Canada and has replica casts around the world.

Fossil Specimen (Sue FMNH PR 2081) – Arguably the most famous of all T. rex specimens. Discovered in 1990 through impressive luck and observation by the fossil’s namesake, Sue Hendrickson, Sue is also one of the best T. rex fossils, being 90% complete by bulk. Following a lengthy dispute over ownership, Sue was put up for auction, inciting fears that the fossil would end up in a private collection. With the help of various donors, Sue was purchased by the Field Museum in Chicago, and has been a fixture there ever since. Sue’s bones show signs of various injuries, including a parasitic infection in the skull. In 2018, Sue was moved to a new room at the Field Museum, featuring an updated assembly and an informational exhibit featuring the world in which Sue lived.

top 5 widely accepted fanon you have beef with, go

OH MAN. My dash is curated like a well-funded museum so I am blissfully sheltered from nonsense. However, based on hearsay and in no particular order...

Literally anything about Mo Xuanyu. My primary frame of reference is CQL (a disclaimer I feel obliged to put on any meta posts, this one included!), which says next to nothing about MXY. I genuinely thought, based on what I'd seen in fandom, that Novel MXY was canonically a petite uwu soft goth boi who'd been part of the Jinlintai Demonic Cultivation Research Department until JGY falsely accused him of harassment and expelled him as part of his Evil Keikaku(TM). And like... that's all possible, and fully workable within the canon framework, but it's not indisputably textual. It's a shame, because I'd find all of these fanons compelling if they weren't repeated as fact!

Mean Lesbian Wen Qing. As with the above, this is fully workable within canon, and I fully sympathize with being a queer woman who wants to see other queer women in fiction. This is even hypocritical of me, perhaps, given how I am so deep in the weeds with the fanons of Lesbian Margaery Tyrell and Lesbian Johanna Mason (for the books, not the adaptations) that I genuinely forget that this isn't canon. But Johanna and Margaery both have meaningful (and quite charged imo!) on-page interactions with other women outside their families in their source material. Wen Qing doesn't, because this canon is deeply disinterested in what its female characters are up to. Lesbian Wen Qing feels less like desperately latching onto queer subtexts and more like a convenient way to remove her from the male characters and/or dunk on Jiang Cheng. If there were an abundance of Wen Qing femslash to accompany this fanon, I'd fell differently, but as it stands... nah, son.

Mean Hypermasculine Dom Nie Mingjue. Maybe it's different in the novel (though based on my understanding of Novel Da-Ge, why would you bother?), but in CQL? Where he feels his emotions up to 11 and cries about all of them? Where his memories of Meng Yao in Nightless City feature an assertive Meng Yao with flawless contouring, on-point eye makeup, and a level of manhandling and verbal degradation that is not at all present in the original version of this scene? The sensitive man with comically horny memories of being captured by his ex gets off on being a macho seme caricature? lololol okay.

Jin Guangyao and Nie Huaisang, Diabolical Murderous Supergeniuses. Canon is quite clear that neither of these men are the brilliant chessmasters fanon makes of them. Jin Guangyao plans meticulously, but he's far from ruthless; as others have pointed out, Jin Guangyao preserves a whole slew of people it would've been more practical to kill, with results that lead directly to his downfall. Nie Huaisang is ruthless, but he doesn't plan for shit; his strengths are his swift reaction time and his ability to hold a grudge, because it is straight-up not possible for Nie Huaisang to anticipate all of the events after the timeskip. They're both forces to be reckoned with, but they both get too much credit as schemers.

Wei Wuxian is basically A-Yuan's dad. This might not even count as a fanon, but 1.) I cannot STAND the tendency for fandoms to impose nuclear family roles onto character dynamics, and 2.) Wei Wuxian knew A-Yuan for like 1.5 years when A-Yuan was a toddler and wasn't even his primary caregiver. Do you think of your preschool or kindergarten teachers--who spent more time with you per day than Wei Wuxian spent with A-Yuan--as your long-lost parents? PROBABLY NOT.

Process shots of my latest acrylic painting, as promised!

The next acrylic addition to my Cretaceous Alberta series is already under way (a pair of baby styracosaurus), but there will definitely be a ton of watercolours along the way :)

+ heading out to Drumheller to visit the Royal Tyrell Museum in a day for the 4th time (listen, it's the best museum ok?) and I'll be spending ~9 hrs there this time to draw the mounts. That'll def add a lot to my Cretaceous Alberta collection. Let me know if there's a specific species you'd like me to look out for to draw there :D

My hyperfixation of the week is Borealopelta markmitchelli, and I need all of my followers to know about it right now:

This little cutie is an 18-ft long, 3.9 ton dinosaur that was so perfectly preserved you can make out each individual scale on its hide. You can see the leathery creases on the palm of its foot. I can clearly picture this thing breathing and moving and snuffling around in the bushes with that adorable little snoot. I cannot overstate how utterly THRILLED I am just knowing that a specimen like this exists, and that there could be more like it waiting for us out there. The world is beautiful and amazing and also freakin' hardcore, I mean look at those spikes, this thing was an actual living dragon.

There's a presentation from Dr. Caleb Brown of the Royal Tyrell Museum going over all the absolutely insane stuff we've been able to learn from this one specimen and if you are anything like me and wish to have a real-life ancient monster living in your head rent-free for several days on end, I highly recommend giving it a watch on YouTube.

michael guerin , 31 yrs — ( 3/3 ) qingge , childe , tatia

being at museums like this is kind of horrifying for michael , because as a secret alien , michael's biggest fear is that the government will find him out and he'll end up himself as an exhibit in this place . also he's single and lonely - what's new - so he'll be drinking his worries away and gawking at the "human origins " .

she's the director of national intelligence , so i promise if you're doing anything stupid , zahra already knows and it isn't getting past her . she's enjoying this time to bump elbows with washington's elite though , so whether she actually says or does anything at this very moment is another story . also , you bet she's looking absolutely incredible .

wrapped up in a beautiful gown , zoe will be ready to mingle or invite you to dance . they'll probably be in the darker rooms centering around electricity and the night sky because it's more calming and beautiful than the main floors swarmed with the entire city . ( blind date : abigail mckinnon )

yo. 🔪 and 🥐?

Bonjour.

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

Oh, I'm not sure there has been anything weird per sey. I spent a lot of time trying to find information about the Royal Tyrell Museum's summer camp considering I only used the information for one paragraph in back when we were dinosaurs. I'm also currently researching how to write Greek Chorus for the Hades/Charon wolfstar fic I'm working on.

🥐 ⇢ name one internet reference that will always make you laugh 

The first one that comes to mind is But I am le tired!
