Hopefully I'm not to late to the party lol. Here, have my rotund #Dunkleosteus. Really proud of this one!
(Also, his name is Dumpling, I decided)

New size estimate for #Dunkleosteus and he's so chonky now! Needed to draw the round boy.
I found a way that Dunkleosteus is still ten meters long without contradicting the new methods of measuring fish
#Dunkleosteus
Updated Dunkleosteus per the new paper that dropped! I like how much chunkier it is now lol
I've switched now to drawing prehistoric fish monsters for my #dnd5e game, so have a Dunkleosteus Barbarian!
The current #dunkleosteus talk makes me wanna go back and draw more vivosaurs from Fossil Fighters
Just realized the Pormega is built like Dunkleosteus
Warm up! The short squat Dunkleosteus body made me think: That thing looks like it can do short bursts of speed!
So here you go... the Dunk tackling Titanichthys like an NFL linebacker in a territorial display.

Delighted to learn this #dunkleosteus I drew back in 2018 is actually relevant again
See I usually have a good laff at this dino-bros who get mad when "science ruined my dinosaurs". But today the joke is on the other foot, they shrunk my Dunkleosteus.
The new paper on Dunkleosteus size estimates used my dorsal fin reconstruction for Coccosteus and even cited my blog post!
Just in time for Fat Tuesday - introducing CHUNKLEOSTEUS!
A brand new study on Dunkleosteus found that like most pelagic, non-shark fishes, Dunk was SHORT & FAT. We are excited to have interviewed the author, Russell Engelman, about his incredibly comprehensive & important work!
@endthebeeb @bipbopbap @gghostedd @mischiefanimals What crack you smoking to think these two are even remotely closely related.
Also armoured fish like dunkleosteus lived about 360 million years ago, long before Mammals were a thing.
@origamiPete Dunkleosteus is from an extinct clade of armored fish in the late Devonian period that was the top predator of its time. Its teeth were just outcroppings of bone in its face, and it killed with the efficiency of a guillotine with a bite force of a staggering 8,000 psi!
@valpezian I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE DUNKLEOSTEUS
It reminds me of a bulldog :)
MY ONESIE CAME IN SO NOW I CAN LOOK DISGUSTINGLY KAWAII FOR THE NEXT SLEEPOVER!!! 🥜
Dunkleosteus Supremacy bby 😘
