Archaeocursor asiaticus for #DrawDinosDaily here taking a sit-down from all the running. I added the little head portrait after I decided I wanted to get deeper into speculative head wattles for this guy. Ornamentation like that is common in modern cursorial birds.

🎨🪶 #SciArt #PaleoArt
Pair of illustrations depicting Archaeocursor, a small dinosaur only a few feet long. It has a small head, long body, very long tail, little grasping hands folded low near its belly, and big strong long legs for running. It is shown here with speculative mottled rich brown coloration, a white iris, and yellow folded skin wattles on the cheek.

Unusual palaeoart. The trilobite kite was designed by Ma Qinghua, with body measuring 3 meters.

Finished a new piece, "Welcome to my parlor..."
Watercolor and gouache, 22"×19.5"
Inspired by the discovery of a large yellow garden spider and her egg sac in my garden. Started this outside and then finished the details inside. Enjoy!
#nature #spider #sciart #painting
Watercolor and gouache painting featuring a yellow garden spider and her web in a jumble of garden plants. The darkest plants form an arch that holds up her web. A green anole, Cloudless sulfur butterfly, grasshopper and Bordered Patch butterfly sit along the perimeter safely out of reach. An egg sac is in the left bottom corner.

this week on #Paleostream we sketched Guidraco, Dinosaurus, Eretmorhipis, and Protoichthyosaurus

i did finish last week's sketches but im too lazy to post them :P

#sciart #paleontology
on an overcast day, a dead Guidraco lays still at the edge of a lake, yellow Baeira leaves pile up at the edge of the shoreline, a cycad leaf has perforated it's lower jaw and may be the reason why the animal died Guidraco is a pterosaur known from Cretaceous China, it had long and thin interlocking teeth at the front of its mouth and a relatively long crest at the back of its head a Dinosaurus sniffs the camera moving up close showing its warty skin, a blurry sand dune can be seen in the background Dinosaurus (despite the name) is a kind of synapsid, which makes it closer related to mammals like us than dinosaurs, it is very unclear what Dinosaurus is related to as it is only known from a small snout fragment by the edge of a hypersaline lagoon in Triassic China that is now the Jialingjiang Formation, an Eretmorhipis swims past stromatolites while bulbous collections of evaporites cake the bottom of the shore. the animal's tall line of osteoderms break the waters surface and cause a few small waves to splash against the nearest stromatolites Eretmorhipis is a kind of marine reptile that was about the size of a small dog and was exclusively marine, not much is known about its ecology but it was most likely a sediment feeder, sifting through the bottom of its home for organic matter and animals to eat. it is unusual in having a skull almost convergent to platypi, and a tall row of osteoderms on its back despite being a fully marine animal a mother Protoichthyosaurus and her three pups are ambushed by a mated pair of female Temnodontosaurus from below. one of the Temnodontosaurus' back has breached the surface, its large body creating crashing waves. the mother Protoichthyosaurus' dorsal fin breaks the surface, creating a v-shaped wave as it attempts to escape the 10 metre long predators at her family's tail Protoichthyosaurus and Temnodontosaurus are ichthyosaurs, marine reptiles convergent on cetaceans in appearance, although they move side to side rather than up and down Protoichthyosaurus is a small dolphin-sized ichthyosaur that was a close relative of the famous Ichthyosaurus, ichthyosaurs were warm-blooded, scaleless marine reptiles that gave livebirth Temnodontosaurus is a large predatory ichthyosaur which may have lived in the same formation as Protoichthyosaurus, the largest Temnodontosaurus species are approximately 13 metres long

Down to My Level (South Island Giant Moa and Haast's Eagle) (forgot to upload the watermark version lol)

#paleoart #SciArt #art #artist #paleontology #artistonbluesky #originalart
A Haast's eagle, with fluffed-up feathers and rusty orange wings, lays on its back, talons in the air. One of its wings is broken, leaving the animal grounded. Its assailant, a ruddy-colored, long-necked moa, strides over on freakishly large legs to get a closer look at its enemy for the first time in its life. A look at its powerful claws reveals blood - blood that is not her own. The tables have turned.

it's weirdly bent and on grass because of it being really hard to find a place and angle to photograph that didn't make it all reflective

Result from the Joggins Formation #paleostream! This Canadian site is an absolute classic and even if you are not familiar with its name you probably know at least one of its major players...
