Helveticosaurus Lair

A gathering of marine reptiles (Helveticosaurus zollingeri) lie on exposed rocks within a sea cave. Foamy sea water rushes in from the left, swirling beneath their perch.

Quick #FossilFriday #paleoart post: a 2025 redo of my 2019 take on the giant #deer Megaloceros. Palaeolithic art captures some aspects of Megaloceros appearance but the details are not unambiguous: when is a line across a body a stripe, when is it a boundary between colour regions?

Three Megaloceros, a stag, doe and fawn, in front of an ice age landscape, painted in 2025. The bodies of the adults have large blocks of colour, without prominent stripes.

The huge Deinocheirus in its habitat. Illustration I did for the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum in Japan

In this illustration you can see a scene set in Late Cretaceous Asia where an adult Deinocheirus is scaring away a pair of young Tarbosaurus

Yesterday, Tyrannosaurus rex was formally named 120 years ago. In light of this, I'm reposting this!

Look at all the love and inspiration the big guy recieved for more than a century.

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

Looking at the pyramids today, it’s impossible not to be struck by the thought that they’re basically big triangles with a sort of square ass. There’s probably a word for that shape, but literally no one knows what it might be. It’s one of the many timeless mysteries of the pyramids.
