A salute to ichthyosaurs this splendid beasts that I've had an excuse to restore several times recently. Marine reptiles are really fun to draw and these have been a blast to work on. Here's Temnodontosaurus, Ichthyosaurus, Shonisaurus and Leptonectes.

The 1959 discovery of the OH 5 skull led to the first K-Ar age determination of sediments at Olduvai by Garniss Curtiss. Finding them to be 1.75 Ma—triple the expected age—he wrote: "One thing is certain. Olduvai Man is old, old, old!"

I’m going to take a hiatus for a little while this summer (maybe I’ll get to take some more new pictures of fossils!), so I’m leaving you with one of my favorite Haya griva skulls...
