The Fool. Art by Kmonvish Lawan, from Arcana Saurus. 

Argentinadraco barrealensis

This is the first card of the deck and for this project as well. So this is kind of the experimental because we didn't have the clear concept or anything yet just wondering around. In this card I tried to use the colour and art style that based from the original card, the tarot classic deck.

And for the animal I can't quiet remember why I chose Argentinadraco. Maybe because in that time I really wanted to draw anAzhdarchid.

Name: Argentinadraco barrealensis

First Described: 2017

Described By: Kellner and Calvo

Classification: Avemetatarsalia, Ornithodira, Pterosauromorpha, Pterosauria, Macronychoptera, Novialoidea, Breviquartossa, Pterodactylomorpha, Monofenestrata, Pterodactyliformes, Caelidracones, Pterodactyloidea, Eupterodactyloidea, Ornithocheiroidea, Azhdarchoidea, Neoazhdarchia, Neopterodactyloidea, ?Azhdarchidae

Argentinadraco is a probable Azhdarchid from the late Cretaceous Portezuelo Formation (more or less 90 mya) of Argentina. Known only from a lower jaw, it is unique in that, while being long and narrow like those of Azhdarchids, it had a low crest about halfway down. Also interesting is that on the top of the jaw were a pair of ridges, like those in Alanqa, probably complemented by ridges on the upper jaw (which is not preserved). Argentinadraco may have eaten aquatic invertebrates such as molluscs, crushing them with the ridges on the top of the jaw. The crest might have strengthened the jaw around the crushing region.
