[BREAKING] A chiral aperiodic monotile finally discovered!
[速報] 鏡像なしの非周期モノタイルが発見される。
それも前回のTile(1,1)にマッチングルールをつけた形とな！辺を変形できるのでデザインしがいがありそう
何に見える？身近な何かに見立てみよう！

We introduced you to many #Genuinerockstars in 2022 and in 2023 we will bring you many more!
On this last #FossilFriday before Christmas I'd like to give you all something to watch!

The first #GenuineRockstar of the year was @WryCritic, a brilliant palaeontologists and illustrator who introduced us to a new #Pterosaur from #IsleofSkye

The second pair of #GenuineRockstars of the year were @azerkle and @chrisjunium who explained the aftermath of the impact that killed the dinosaur by studying sulfur that got into the #Stratosphere
Dreadnoughtus!!! 🦕
I like sauropods (long-necked dinosaurs) in general, as these Mesozoic puzzles 🧩 pushed evolutionary innovation to the extreme, & even the simplest aspects of their biology are confounding, oft-debated subjects. A thread 🧵 highlighting few of those.

Dreadnoughtus schrani was discovered (2014) in southern Patagonia, Argentina 🇦🇷 and is thought to be the largest 🏆 terrestrial animal to have ever walked the planet (i.e., it possesses the greatest mass of any land animal that can be calculated 🧮 with...

...reasonable certainty). This colossal sauropod flourished during the Late Cretaceous Epoch (100.5 million to 66 million years ago). It was about 26 m (85 feet) long 📏 and may have weighed about 59 metric tons ⚖️ (image source: Wikimedia Commons) -...

Is Tyrannosaurus rex the one true king of the Cretaceous? Our new paper reviews the evidence🧵

In March, a team of researchers published a provocative new idea: Tyrannosaurus rex, the most famous dinosaur, wasn't one dinosaur at all, but three separate species that were so similar all prior researchers had missed their differences.

The two new species were named Tyrannosaurus imperator (the tyrant lizard emperor*) and Tyrannosaurus regina (the tyrant lizard queen).
*Imperator is actually Latin for "commander", but was a title given to the Roman emperors, and became the origin of our word "emperor"

A new species of #dinosaur has just dropped and word on the street is that it’s pretty similar to the #TRex
In fact, researchers think this discovery could explain why these beasts evolved to have tiny arms!

In 2012, the almost-complete skeleton of a new kind of #dinosaur was found in the northern Patagonia region of #Argentina.
The dinosaur has been christened #Meraxes gigas. The generic epithet is an ode to a dragon in the #GameOfThrones series.

I just can't believe we're halfway through the year already. I haven't done much at #TetZoo - just no chance - but here's a quick thread of personal highlights of 2022 so far...
First off, I enjoyed putting together my lookback at the 2001 #DorlingKindersley Encyclopedia of #Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Life, a book I co-authored and helped put together during my formative PhD-focused years tetzoo.com/blog/2022/1/29…
The recycled article on Kogia - the dwarf and pygmy sperm whales - was fun to reassemble... tetzoo.com/blog/2022/3/7/… #mammals #marinemammals #cetaceans #whales
Join me in this thread as I talk about the science and decisions behind what we show in ep 2 - DESERTS - of the new @AppleTVPlus @bbcstudios series #PrehistoricPlanet . Deserts aired on Tuesday, but better late than never. Here we go...
Deserts kicks off in western South America on an arid plain where a mass gathering of the giant #titanosaur #Dreadnoughtus have gathered to display and compete for mates. Dreadnoughtus, from Argentina, was named in 2014 by @kenlacovara [shown in photo!] and colleagues...
The idea that sauropods might have gathered and competed is based on behaviour seen in modern birds, mammals and other animals. Remember that events like this MUST have happened in the past, as they do today...

I started playing #guitar in college. Some of my friends back home played, so I thought I'd learn. It's been years since I kept up with it. With no job and an empty house, I had time. Plus, I could crank up my amp. Ava would have hated it. All the more reason to do it.

Strumming a few chords or playing a riff through a loud amp usually makes me feel better. It's more of a distraction this time. My amp is a little old. Even a #ragpicker might pass on it. "If you're not going to play it, sell it," Ava nagged. Life always got in the way.

Or I got in the way. Not even ten years ago I kept getting sick all the time. Painful stomach cramps would radiate weakness throughout my body. I learned how to wash it away like healing #rainwater. That's when I really started to figure out who I was and what I could do.

When I made this battle, I had thought that Hatzegopteryx was as tall as a giraffe, as presented in the documentary series "Planet Dinosaur" (seen below)

Indeed, this would have made it about as tall as Quetzalcoatlus, another giant pterosaur (one that, contrary to the "Planet Dinosaur", had a bit bigger wingspan that Hatzegopteryx. Its depiction is below).
Dino prints are sometimes seen on cave roofs. How did these 4-foot wide dinosaur footprints form?
1. The dino’s walked on mud that hardened over coral debris?
2. A volcanic eruption lowered sea-level and ash covered a shallow ocean?
3. Evolution is a lie...

1500 feet down in a French cave, the #dinosaur footprints are some of the largest known, made by titanosauriforms 167M years ago. Tracks show impressions of digits, digital pads, and claws - from a new species they name Occitanopodus gandi. #ScienceFromHome...
Dino prints have been found in cave roofs before. Here’s a famous set from Fireclay caves in Queensland, Australia. You can read @NatureNews story here tinyurl.com/yavkonc5 #facts
