A Homotherium stands by the downed body of a Megaloceros, its huge antlers standing out against the drab colored grassland landscape framed by snowy hills in the background.

Therizinosaurs are, without a doubt, some of the most interesting groups of theropod dinosaurs

Here you have a selection of a few species that I reconstructed for the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum in Japan for their 25th Anniversary Special Exhibition

An exquisite fossil of a 240-million-year-old marine reptile reveals it had partially webbed fingers and toes.

The exceptional preservation also hinted at underlying limb muscles that suggest it swam like seal.

An ancient reptile’s fossilized skin reveals how it swam like a seal
A reptile fossil is the first of its kind with skin and partially webbed feet, possibly showing how later species like plesiosaurs adapted to water.

Waning Hours
Digital Drawing. A large dicynodont (Ischigualastia) is knelt on the ground, struggling to lift itself up with its forelimbs. A gash is visible on its thigh. Three small dinosaurs (Eodromaeus) observe from nearby. The sky is a pale blue - the sun has already moved below the horizon.

Moa Remains
Digital Drawing. A depiction of an upland moa (Megalapteryx didinus) based on the type specimen. The head and right foot are represented as mummified remains while the rest of the body is drawn more like a life appearance, in the style of a monochromatic sketch.

Please welcome Cariocecus bocagei! A new, basal hadrosauroid from the early Cret. of Portugal! This guy is known from a pretty nice skull, which makes it one of the best ornithopod fossils from Iberia so far! I loved during this little portrait for main author Filippo Bertozzo...

I’m back! So what did you think of Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age? I want to know what parts you liked the best, what animals you liked the most and what were the species for which I entrusted to create the concept art and design

A new taxon, revised headgear, and a reminder that dinosaurs probably looked way weirder than we’ll ever fully realize.
Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity
Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non-crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non-crested” hadrosaur is known to ha....

New at #Patreon: an illustrated review of what we know, and some of what we don't, about the colours and patterns of ancient marine invertebrates (ft. trilobites, orthoceratoids, ammonites and Cambrian critters). Check it out at www.patreon.com/c/markwitton #paleoart #fossils #paleontology #sciart
The orthoceratoid Michelinoceras anguliferum, sporting a natty set of zigzags along its shelll, is probably better dressed than most of us today. Here, it's inflicting a fashion attack on a buried worm. Cambrian polychaete Canadia spinosa is shiny, thanks to structural colouration. A minor pile up between three migrating trilobites, Eldredgeops rana. The red dots on these animals are strange translucent lenses that might, it's speculated, be windows for pigmentation through their carapaces. Two Dieneroceras subquadratum conversing about life as drifters in Triassic plankton. The banding pattern on their shells is fossil accurate, although the exact colours are unknown.
