Liopleurodon ferox, a Late Jurassic pliosaur, sporting numerous clusters of barnacles, as well as several scars across its jaws. Depicted here it is partially lipped.

Days 9-12 sketches for #paleoctober!
Protobalanus, Mourasuchus, Melanocyrillium, and Nyctosaurus!

Protobalanus Spinicoronatus, a relative of modern day chiton mollusks, on a sea floor illuminated by some stylistic sparkles

Miocene caiman relatives of South America, Mourasuchus and Purussaurus, resting at the bottom of a river system, bubbles escaping their nostrils as Mourasuchus takes an upright posture in preparation to propel itself off the sediment.

A congregation of Melanocyrillium, strange, eukaryotic-affinitied vesicle-like structures suspended in water.

Nyctosaurus, a Cretaceous Nyctosaur, atop a seaside cliff system.

I need to remember to post here too-

Days 1 through 4 of #paleoctober! Libanoculex, Eothyris, Runcaria, and Meiolania!
#paleoart #sciart

Libanoculex perching along the central spine row of a rebbachisaurid (speculated to be in the area due to presence in the general area before and after)

Meiolania stretching its legs via descending uneven terrain

Tonight’s #Paleostream flocking results!!
Bathornis, Quinkana, Acanthostega, and Megaloceros!
#paleoart

A bathornis holding a small rodent it has killed by the tail on a grassland

Two Quinkana battling in a stream with branches overhead, one has another by the throat, and is dragging it through the water

A singular acanthostega exiting a small body of water, rising one of its paddles up to wave at the viewer

A megaloceras balancing itself on the peak of a thin, tall, rock.
