On to Teraterpeton itself. The elongated skull is the most eye-catching feature, esp compared to its relatives. Interestingly, the big hole in the snout was likely an external narial fenestra. Thus, the nostrils were much farther back than in others.

My most detailed entry into the Proboscidea series was the American mastodon. I painted as much of the fur as possible. https://t.co/PhJrTVUk21

Palaeoloxodon falconeri is a great example of the crazy size disparity that can occur within the same genus. I didn't know this extreme was possible for mammals https://t.co/x52Tj8s0aH

Aaand the biggest proboscidean ever, the massive Palaeoloxodon namadicus. This one I can really hear the elephant-like rumble every time I look at it. https://t.co/rL3HgZ2cs0

Spinosuchus was probably similar in size to Trilophosaurus, although as you can see its tall neural spines give its back a raised hump/sail and less of the lean, iguana-like silhouette.

I also went with a similar coloration scheme, with a striped face and patterning along the upper half of the body on a yellow-green "base". There's a possibility Spinosuchus was arboreal like its close relative, but either way I think this coloration fits.

Sometimes you just gotta ask yourself...if I don't make a super spiny Trilophosaurus, who will?

Palaeontology Coproliteposting is on a Cambrian kick and it’s honestly the most impressive collective display of memeing I’ve ever seen. https://t.co/DUAS6IWM81
