Tiarajudens speculatively reconstructed with bony flanges on its jaws to match its enormous 'fangs', based on similar flanges in other 'sabre tooths', including herbivores. Only pieces from the back of its lower jaw are known, so hey, maybe...

It's mostly thought of as a medium to large tree, based on the leaf-beds in the Gristhorpe plant beds. However I suspect there may have been some variation within the genus (if it does represent a biological genus). I've reconstructed the Crato specimen as a small tree.

Hi, I am Gabriel and I am a paleoartist and scientific illustrator. I illustrate/reconstruct both extant and extinct animals, particularly tetrapods (although lately I have done quite a lot of invertebrates) 😊

Images of the mansio of Alfoldean reconstructed by the late great Victor Ambrus

The 3 days spent digging here in 2005 for were very (very very very) wet, but Victor kept drawing, sketching and painting throughout

Because this fish is rather obscure and there's only a handful fossils to look for reconstructing, I used its close relative the Strunius and Qingmenodus as reference and also use extant Hoplias sp. as other reference, that gave me 2 version of the Onychodus as illustrated below

My first-ever palaeoart illustration appeared in paper today! The paper by V. Baranov looked at Gedanoleria fly larvae locked in Baltic amber. Here is my reconstruction of the flies, maggots and things they fed on.

I can call myself a "professional" palaeoartist now.

Frantisek Kupka, Babylon 1906. But more likely Assyria, because of conical helmets, statues and chariots. Modern archeological consensus also places Hanging Gardens in Nineveh. Reconstruction by Terry Ball

While the design is inspired by the Brian Engh reconstruction, I tried my best to ensure that it isn't a complete clone. Due to this, I made the keratin sheathe of the crest rounder and smoother, and made the body black with white countershading and striping.

and so it's gotta be the ground sloth Mylodon darwinii, brought back by Chuck from South America and named for him by ghastly old Richard Owen in 1840.
