Go my Bothriolepis... This year's fish pecan pie! Bothriolepis was a peculiar-looking placoderm from the Devonian period or the Paleozoic. It had two long pointed pectoral fins and silly little eyes on top of its head.

Two Denversaurus meet at sunset. Referenced from a photo I took in Montana this summer.
Denversaurus belongs to the ankylosaurian family nodosauridae. Unlike ankylosauridae, nodosaurids lack a tail club and many have shoulder spikes.

Can I drag your attention to the artworks by contemporary Czech palaeoartist, Vladimir Rimbala. His works are a perfect mix of modern science and retro composition (🧵)

One of the coolest cases of convergent evolution was just published yesterday, so I was inspired to draw them together - Temnodontosaurus trigonodon and Tyto alba.

A small herd of Murrabuttasaurus stop at a river on an early Cretaceous morning. The lead male and one of the females are occupied with mating while the other females are drinking.
