It’s and here is a WIP I’m working on of a Proterosuchus which just captured a young Lystrosaurus at an Early Triassic, South African river bank. Will it consume it in the water or on land? Many details to be refined but it is getting there.

I will have various size charts in my in-prep book, mostly because I noticed people LOVE seeing size charts. Here is a WIP chart of some selected non pterosaurian or dinosaurian reptiles of the Triassic and Jurassic Notice the Cursorsaurus 😂

I needed to take a break from reconstructing Triassic and Jurassic and other tetrapods, so I decided to go back to one of my favorite groups: Cretaceous This is a quick reconstruction of Eotyrannus lengi. This one of or

Last (but not least) allokotosaur: Teraterpeton!!! This charming fellow lived during the Late Triassic in what is now Nova Scotia. Features of note include a long, toothless snout and blade-like claws.

My 1st contribution to the Pamelaria, a basal allokotosaur from the Middle Triassic of India. At approximately 2m, this reptile was as long as I am tall!

Therocephalians are another group of therapsids that made it into the Triassic. They were probably distributed throughout Pangea during the Early Triassic. One genus (Moschorhinus) is believed to have survived the Permian extinction

Shringasaurus, w/ its Crystal Palace dinosaur/Ray Harryhausen aesthetic, is my absolute favorite Triassic animal and one of the coolest-looking non-dinosaurs of the Mesozoic.

For a short time, during the earliest Triassic, some parts of the world belonged to the Here for I have reconstructed the large-sized Moschorhinus. It is defending its recent kill, a Lystrosaurus, from a group of Tetracynodon

Couldn’t help quickly sketching the newly described Hupesuchian Eretmorhipis carrolldongi, which seems to be a Triassic marine reptile convergent with platypus anatomy!

R is for rhynchosaur.

Rhynchosaur was a reptilian parrot beaked pig from the Triassic that ate mainly tubers and roots. (not literally a pig, but a fat lizard none the less)Illustration for extinct series.

Spread of what the section about the formations (the bulk of the book ) will look like. Like I said in my previous tweet, this one is the middle Sakamena Fm of Madagascar. this is what you’d be collecting if you worked during the Early Triassic

A preview of one of the plates of my in-prep book “Journey To The Mesozoic vol. I”. This is a plate of the Middle Sakamena Formation of Madagascar (Early Triassic) and a closer view to the procolophonid parareptile Lasasaurus

Only three groups of Synapsids/therapsids survived the end-Permian mass extinction event into the Early Triassic: dicynodonts (top), therocephalians (center), and cynodonts (bottom). Only the latter (our relatives) survived into the Jurassic.

As expected I couldn’t stop thinking about the newly described GIANT dicynodont Lisowicia, and started sketching. I imagined a couple of them on an tranquil Triassic afternoon surrounded by coelophysioid dinosaurs and probably a large temnospondyl

WIP, still early stages of this illustration where I want to show a detailed process of reconstructing cynodont, in this case the large sized Trucidocynodon from the Triassic of Brazil. Finished illustration in my in-prep book. Many details still to fix
