I worked on one of the Effigia sketches (left) I drew a couple of weeks ago, and added here to a plate also depicting Qianosuchus (sketch, top right), a basal poposauroid, and the foot of Poposaurus (bottom right). These are not dinosaurs but #pseudosuchians #paleoart #sciart

Lotosaurus, another oddity of the Triassic. A toothless, beaked, herbivorous and sail-backed Poposauroid pseudosuchian (the croc-line archosaurs) that lived during the Middle Triassic of China. There will be text over the upper side of the image #paleoart #sciart #pseudosuchians
I recently was invited to be a guest in an upcoming episode of @CommonDescentPC where I talked about #paleoart. It was so much fun to talk with Will and David. I’ll tell you more soon!. Here are some Mesozoic pseudosuchians for Will and some extant snakes for David #sciart
Poposauroids are among my favorite lineage within Pseudosuchia (the line of archosaurs related to crocodilians). There were so many interesting forms, among them several bipedal taxa that looked like how people used to think dinosaurs looked like #FossilFriday #paleoart #sciart
If you are an “awesomebro” and you are sad and depressed because dinosaurs are no longer depicted like the scaly movie monsters you so desperately want, you might want to look at Mesozoic pseudosuchians. They might be closer to what you want #paleoart #pseudosuchia
Every time someone tells me “crocodiles are living fossils, they have never changed in millions of years” I go and reconstruct one of the MANY odd looking pseudosuchians (croc-line archosaurs) that will appear in my book #paleoart #pseudosuchians
@SedgwickMuseum @EarthSciCam @morethanadodo These footprints were the centre of a #palaeontology #whodunit. Experts reckon they were made by Ticinosuchus, a Middle Triassic pseudosuchian (a crocodile ancestor).
