@skeletaldrawing @IzaRajaGandi Would love to see a deep dive paleopath study, because man, Scotty had real rough go of it. IIRC there’s an in-grown maxillary tooth socket, some puckering on the skull that might (?) be attributed to infection/disease. The skull sutures are also abnormal supposedly.

@ARTheropodfan @skeletaldrawing Based on when I worked at the RSKM, we cited Scotty as being ~60% complete. I can’t remember the exact metric that is based on though

@Titanlizard_Art Scotty’s skull is also really, really— fugly and quite asymmetrical, so it’s hard not to end up a reconstruction that doesn’t look off-brand. Still a T. rex, but man, bit of an ugly duckling.

@skeletaldrawing Oh yeah, they are even more weirdly proportioned and just— messed up looking in-person. I haven’t been satisfied with any reconstruction I made even after seeing it many times.

To add: pretty exploded. We have most of the skull bones, but they aren’t all complete (and then there’s warping/deformation to watch out for). Definitely wiggle room for recon, and Scotty does have a weird skull, but some aspects may be a touch exaggerated IMO.

Had some accidental involvement in this— one of the first fossils I ever prepared (the coracoid with the root furrow) was the specimen that spearheaded the study! Congratulations Jack!
Just in time for #TraceFossilTuesday! My @usaskArtSci @royalsaskmuseum research on ancient plant and invertebrate bioerosion trace fossils on a Triceratops skeleton from southern Saskatchewan has been published in @ichno_assoc Ichnos! Check it out below.

The ichthyosaurs make a triumphant return to the land of living skies. A fitting piece to end 2024.

A new discovery that made me giddy: SASKATCHEWAN ICHTHYOSAUR Pulled from a underground mine (>300 m!). Small Sask towns (Eastend is an exception) rarely showcase or even KNOW about their fossil treasures, and my life goal is to make sure they do
