Result from yesterdays Emu Bay Shale #paleostream!
This was our first Cambrian formation piece AND No. 50 in this series!
This place had some interesting challenges attached to it and it's fauna has some fascinating members.

WELCOME TO EDIACARAN MISTAKEN POINT (565Ma).

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Three of the ZBrush sculpts I created for my 2019 "Cambrian Epic" painting, featuring a variety of wonderful creatures from the Sirius Passet lagerstätte, Greenland. This was commissioned for Park et al 2024.
