For #SundayFishSketch them of #NewYearsResolutions, here's #Griphognathus, a Devonian #lungfish.
[image: lungfish emerging from pond; text says "Devonian lungfish Griphognathus resolves to get out more."]

"Our ancestors did not so much conquer the land, as escape from the water." - John Maisey, AMNH
learning a lot about the extremely scary devonian period while i pencil!!
Turbo-pterichthys. From the Devonian period to the bright future 🚀
Tried to figure out how to use perspective rulers in Clip Studio Paint. Something went wrong, and these turbines look distorted but that's because they're prehistoric ;)
A shark both eely and early: Frey et al describe the full body of the Late Devonian Phoebodus. They find it to be stem-elasmobranch, possibly parking the minimum divergence of elasmobranchs and holocephalans right back in the mid-Devonian.

For #FossilFriday, here’s a brachiopod from the Silica Shale of Devonian Ohio. A lightly pyritized Paraspirifer.
For fossil Friday, have a really cool fossil of Horn Coral. Embedded in the rock and largely crystallized. It’s a really neat little fossil, not for the animals in it, but for how they preserved. Devonian, Ontario.

Since the Devonian was a close 2nd in yesterday's poll, for #FossilFriday here's a couple jawless fish that I drew around July of 2018: Boreaspis, & a decidedly mint chocolate chip Tauraspis. Both likely used their headgear to forage from the substrate #paleoart #sciart
I don't think this is the fish and potatoes we need for #NationalFishAndChipDay! - An old model of Bothriolepis, placoderm fish from the Devonian and a plant specimen from @Museum_Cardiff collections #FossilFriday
#ScienceTuesday: Evidence of one of Earth’s oldest known forests dates back approximately 385-million years. The Devonian-age Gilboa fossil forest of Schoharie County, New York, is characterized by extensive impressions of tree root systems and even a few fossil tree stumps.
Some throwbacks to my Devonian sketchbook for #FossilFriday: sea sponges, sea stars, brittle stars, urchins, edrioasteroids, and crinoids. My style in colored pencil was very naturalist

Here are both two of my first - and one of my last pieces, all featuring the Devonian placoderm and apex predator Dunkleosteus terrelli.
The first 2 donein 2015 for https://t.co/d23noXI8Qf
The latter done a few weeks ago for another client.

oldie but goldie, all the way to the Devonian. Tetrapodomorph Elpistostege (close relative of the famous Tiktaalik) with pair of armored Bothriolepis.
