#not palaeontology

[jurassicsunsets]

I don’t normally post on archaeology, but this is something I feel is relevant and that I’d like to spread awareness of. 

Misinformation is not harmless, and this kind of anti-intellectual, conspiracy theory-peddling is becoming more prominent. It’s dangerous and encourages anti-science attitudes that make people more susceptible to fascist manipulation.

Deep in the ancient oceans, lurks the mighty Dunkleosteus. A bit of Blockbench paleo art from a little while back i never posted.

Based on the recent, more rotund, reconstruction of D. terrelli, still quite the fearsome beast!

Been some time since i did any paleoart so it was great to finally get back to it again!

Let me know what you think!

You ever think about how incredibly weird Azhdarchids were?

Like, they had huge heads, very long necks, relatively small wings that they could nonetheless fly with, which they (probably) achieved by pole-vaulting themselves into the air with their bones. They could likely get around on land by galloping like horses, and probably ate anything that they could fit in The Beak, like pelicans.

Also they were this big.

Sincerely, what the fuck.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

"Cretaceous Blue Moon," a composite artwork from 2013. A gathering of male Elasmosaurus show off their strength by lifting their heads high out of the water during a bloom of bioluminescent plankton.

POV: you went diving at night and spotted Ordovician nautiloids feasting on a eurypterid carcass, after a while the commotion has attracted the giants, Endoceratids slowly creeping into view

I read the phrase “transitioned onto land” for about the thousandth time the other day, but this time I noticed an opportunity!

The Homotherium cub mummy has upper lips that are "twice as long" as a lion's. Bulldog lipped Smilodon anyone?
