Marasuchus lilloensis was a small dinosauriform of Late Triassic Argentina (Chañares Formation) not a dinosaur. The hypothetical crest I used in this reconstruction is meant to be made of some sort of quill-like structures homologous to dinosaur filaments

This is a quick drawing of the OTHER sharovipterigid Ozimek volans, from the Late Triassic of Poland, made for my upcoming book “Journey To The Mesozoic vol. I”. It was likely also a glider and its long neck and legs made it have really weird proportions

Today I bring you an assortment of Triassic dicynodonts: Dinodontosaurus, Lystrosaurus, Angonisaurus, Ischigualastia, Myosaurus and Kombusia. All these and many more will appear in my book. Dicynodonts are distantly related to us mammals.

Morning warmup sketch. Allokotosaurs were WEIRD and so much fun to draw. I decided to sketch today Teraterpeton, a trilophosaurid (possibly) from Late Triassic Nova Scotia 🇨🇦 Just look at that LONG toothless snout (small teeth were present on the back of jaws)

So many of you were correct! For here is my reconstruction of Sinosaurus triassicus, a tetanuran theropod part of the Early Jurassic (Hettangian) fauna of the Lower Lufeng Formation, China. It was a medium-sized (approx. 5.5 m long) taxon

WIP Its so here is an indeterminate Sinokannemeyeriine dicynodont from the Lipovskaya Fm. Not a mammal nor a cynodont but a distant relative therapsid from Early Triassic (Olenekian) Russia. One of the approx. 20 spp that will appear in my book
