Meet the immense Columbian Mammoth (Mammuthus columbi). As one of the largest elephant species in history, it was characterized by spectacular tusks that grew as long as 4.5 meters (15 feet).

Just finished this illustration of a prehistoric giant: Concavotectum! This 3-meter-long fish with a bizarre, concave head was a Late Cretaceous resident of Morocco... and maybe a snack for Spinosaurus! #Paleoart #Sciart #fish #PrehistoricFish #Cretaceous #KemKem

Meet Obaichthys — the spiny, armor-plated ‘gar’ of the Cretaceous! Unlike modern gars, it had mobile jaws + scales bristling with spines. Fossils from Morocco & Brazil show it prowled rivers and estuaries, snapping up tiny invertebrates. #Cretaceous #fish #prehistoric

Icarosaurus was a 230 million year old flying reptile. With elongated ribs forming "wings", it soared through the Late Triassic forests of what is now New Jersey. #Paleontology #Flyingreptiles #Paleoart #Triassic

This is a reconstruction of Meishanaspis lehmani, a galeaspid from the Silurian Maoshan Formation of the Zhejiang Province of China

Meet Stegotetrabelodon, the jaw-dropping elephant relative, boasting four massive tusks - two on its upper jaw & two on its lower jaw! #paleontology #prehistoriclife #elephant #paleoart

Meet Attenborosaurus, a majestic marine reptile from the Early Jurassic of Dorset, named in honor of Sir David Attenborough.

Here’s my reconstruction of Fleurantia denticulata, an ancient lungfish that swam through Canadian estuarine waters during the Late Permian. Its fossils were uncovered in the famous Escuminac Formation at Miguasha, Quebec.

Stegomus arcuatus was a miniature Aetosaur first described from the Late Triassic New Haven Formation of Connecticut. It was also found in New Jersey and South Carolina. The genus named Stegomus was later synonymized with Aetosaurus.

Squatinactis is an extinct genus of elasmobranch chondrichthyans from the Carboniferous period, discovered in Montana's Bear Gulch Limestone. Superficially resembling modern stingrays and angel sharks, it was probably a benthic predator ambushing prey from the seabed.
