For I'll share one of my favourite fossils:
Rhamphorhynchus flies over water.

First of the year. Not a sketch today, but a photogrammetry of the trilobite Crozonaspis struvei I did for my final essay of Invertebrates Palaeontological. Not the best specimen, but you can see most it's cephalon features, including the cool tiny eye lenses!

This is a small reconstruction of Tianyulong confuciusi, an heterodontosaurid from Late Jurassic China, for my in-prep book. Some basal ornithischian dinosaurs are known to have been fuzzy... some could have been VERY fuzzy!

To help us forget about politics, here's some Rhamphorhynchus muensteri The 3 big animals are based on the largest known (1.8 m wingspan) muensteri specimen, which was once thought to be a unique species. Turns out it's just a really large adult.
