X is for Xyrauchen texanus, the razorback sucker. This is one from last year where I imagined it on a stamp for the Navajo Nation. #FishABC
T is for Tricerichthys, the best three-horned face of the Cretaceous. Also featuring nice spines on the cleithra and anal fin! #FishABC
O is for Onchopristis, the perpetual second fiddle to a theropod whose name I forget. My old drawing gets the rostrum morphology a little wrong, but you get the idea. #FishABC
I think we're up to "I" in #FishABC, so it's time for Icarealcyon, a Triassic holostean (gar + bowfin relative) once thought to be able to glide with its broad pectoral fins.
Another old drawing for #FishABC, the Devonian lungfish Griphognathus
@Mosasaurologist I always find it hard to pick favorites but lately pretty into Tricerichthys
Once long before #FossilFishWeek I drew the fossil hagfish Tethymyxine, lit as though you took a submersible to the Cretaceous. From Jan 2019. #TBT #PaleoArt
The best three-horned face of the #Cretaceous was a fish. Don't @ me. This is #Tricerichthys wenzi (Taverne & Capasso 2015), a pycnodont that resembled a sea robin head on a filefish body. Thread (1/4) #SundayFishSketch #SciArt #PaleoArt #TeamFish
