Illustrations are a critical part in scicom and way too many papers miss out on actually featuring paleoart, which makes the research immediately harder for people to grasp, even to those that are within the actual paleo-sphere

Time and time again do scientists underestimate the importance of palaeoart. Dinosaurs do not exist outside of palaeoart. Without art, they are just pictures of bones, just words and tables on the page. But it is not the words on the page or the pictures of the bones that ultimately define how the reader imagines the dinosaur. It is the art. That’s what you remember, that’s what you take away. Science is all well and good, but only art makes dinosaurs into real animals. Support original palaeoart.

Paleoart is an important organ. Its the reason why kids love dinosaurs, its why we can give attention to more than just a bone. #paleoart is our tool to deliver #scicomm to everyone without beeing afraid of loosing the context of our science. Let me deliver you a good example:

Here's a new sketch for ya'll, it's #numidotherium! An early proboscidean from Algeria, this strange beast had too many odd characteristics to count. Looks like it took notes from early synapsids with a speculative horn to boot. Thanks to #paleostream for teaching us about it!

Today we had a very special #paleostream! We looked into the anatomy, ecology and phylogeny of #Numidotherium, one of the earliest and WEIRDEST proboscideans ever! It's a roughly tapir sized animal from the Eocene of Algeria, from the El Kohol formation. (1/many)
