More colorful bentonite hills, in this case formed from the Jurassic-aged Morrison formation.

Happy #FossilFriday! This week Dr. Cary Woodruff is visiting #MOR to study the largest animals to walk the Earth, the #sauropods. Here, Woodruff is standing next to the hindlimb of a #Diplodocus (#MOR738) from the #Jurassic #MorrisonFormation of #Wyoming.

Congrats to John Foster and Kelli Trujillo for seeing this new #MorrisonFormation volume across the finish line!!! So many new great things in this (John, Cary Woodruff and I have a paper on the largest #Stegosaurus yet found, check it out!).

as well as my previous #MorrisonFormation art, I drew heavily on the work of Brian Engh and his documentary #JurassicReimagined

some art focuses

First art of 2026, showcasing some #MorrisonFormation theropods as will be seen in my developing "Kasifer: Sultan of the Red Desert" story, particularly natives of 'Crimson Canyon' where the title protagonist resides

Known from the #MorrisonFormation of the western US, A. jimmadseni is much rarer than A. fragilis, which is one of, if not the most common #theropod dinosaur found here. Why this is the case is still the subject of much debate!

🧵 End.

Why are so many Allosaurus found at the CLDQ? - Was Allosaurus really that abundant? Or is there some sort of sampling bias? Are we seeing the remains of Allosaurus ‘packs’?
It’s plenty of food for thought for #palaeontologists researching the palaeofauna of the #MorrisonFormation.

They used an SEM to further investigate the ornamentation of growth bands on the clam shrimp to determine which family it belongs to. Jacob has also spent hours searching through photographs to figure out which species this new clam shrimp most closely resembles. 3/6 #jurassic #morrisonformation
