“The whole business with
the fossilized
dinosaur skeletons
was a joke the paleontologists
haven't seen yet.”
..it went right over his head
Some protocetid artwork of mine for #WorldWhaleDay. I adore this strange group of pioneering, leggy whales.
Clockwise from top left: the extra-weird Makaracetus, Aegicetus, Maiacetus and calf, and a comparison of Rodhocetus and Georgiacetus. #paleoart #sciart #whaleontology
Results from the #paleostream!
Griphognathus, Macronectes tinae, Armandisaurus and Merychyus.
John Gurche, a paleoartist that also worked on Jurassic Park during early production (and the reason behind the Dilophosaurus's frill) refers to the raptor as Deinonychus.
This early concept art for the film, featuring Deinonychus was done by him.

Whenever I do multiple reconstructions of the same prehistoric animal (or group of related animals) I try to find ways to make each one of them a bit different.
Why?
1 its more fun
2 repeat recons confer false confidence
3 change is how #evolution >actually happens<

Varied spinosaurid #paleoart for #FossilFriday to celebrate the announcement that @Dave_Hone and I are working on a book on this group for @BloomsburyBooks. Don't hold your breath - it won't be out until 2025 - but you can commence getting a little excited right.... now.

Thylacocephala Sussucaris paleoart doodle.
a recently discovered Thylacochalan from Sussex England.
- the Isle of Wight and some paleontologists believe those teeth might belong to Vectiraptor, but they haven't been officially attributed to it yet! Based on current estimates, it was actually quite big for a dromaeosaurid, reaching 8.2–9.8 feet long! (2/2)
