Featuring paleoartist and herpetologist Gabriel Ugueto!
Can you picture paleontology without … pictures? For about as long as people have been digging up fossils, some have tried to recreate ancient organisms through art. Paleoartists combine artistic talents with detailed knowledge of life past and present to create their best hypotheses about the appearance of ancient species and ecosystems. Their work shows in the many images, animations, and sculptures that accompany research, museum displays, books, documentaries, and more. Paleoart is an inextricable piece of paleontology, and it’s all around us!
In the news: Arctic hyenas, dinosaur bone bacteria, a croc climate clock, and a big trilobite.
