some wonderful creatures I’ve been looking at while brainstorming for fossil marimon stuff (deinocheirus, tanystropheus, hesperornis, and atopodentatus)
@KingRexy328 if it can help you, here are two prehistoric birds with "teeth", the Pelagornis and the Hesperornis
The Western Interior Seaway divided North America during the Cretaceous and was host to an array of creatures including #Tylosaurus, #Elasmosaurus, #Dolichorhynchops, #Archelon, #Xiphactinus and #Hesperornis

Pastel Paleotober Day 4: Hesperornis 🍋
Hesperornis was an aquatic bird that swam the same sea as Archelon. Unlike penguins, which use their wings to propel themselves, Hesperornis evolved from foot-propelled divers, leading to reduction of their wings over evolutionary time.
WIP of this his still, but with hesperornis instead of plesiosaurs
A Tylosaurus prioriger catches a Hesperornis regalis in the shallow inland sea of what one day will become Kansas, USA. Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian Age 72.1-65.5 MYA). Illustration by Balint Benke. 🤓🐉
Tylosaurus and Hesperornis painting from 2018.
The composition is not the best, and it is not totally accurate, but I really enjoyed working on it.
Hesperornis were flightless aquatic birds from the Late Cretaceous. They had basically no wings, & propelled themselves with powerful backlegs.

Because birds with teeth are awesome! Left: Bohaiornis, an early Cretaceous enantiornithean from China. Right: Hesperornis regalis, a Late Cretaceous hesperornithean from North America. #paleoart #sciart #birds #dinosaurs
My today’s Inktober, day 30: “catch”.
I started with my old drawing of a Hesperornis and a frog for #AnimalAlphabets. Then decided that the whole thing needs something even more menacing 👀 for a catch. 😄 So, here is where Dunkleosteus comes in to play

A quick sketch of @Midori_Zamas 's hesperornis Friend. The hesperornis is an ancient toothed bird that provided evidence for the theory of evolution. A set of fossil got delivered to the wrong person and helped start the Bone Wars and thus the discovery of plenty of dinosaurs.
Mosasaurus hoffmani and Hesperornis feeding on a baitball. It shares a bit of unintentional resemblance with @bone_sharpe’s “Bearpaw Giants”, but his is painting is significantly bette. If you are reading this Henry, got any pointers?

And my 2nd picture this week for #AnimalAlphabets - a pair of #Hesperornis hunting a poor wee fish. #extinct #cartoon #illustration @AnimalAlphabets
This #hesperornis gets me up to date on @AnimalAlphabets #extinct #dinoduck #animalalphabets #dinosaur #cartoon
#Hesperornis… 🐸 😀 Again only a #sketch for today's #AnimalAlphabets. So much work - so little time, but I really hope you like it.

Done in #Procreate

H is for Hesperornis! Late this week but at least I posted the illustration this time! @AnimalAlphabets #animalalphabets
H is for Hesperornis. A bit late, but better late than never. @AnimalAlphabets #AnimalAlphabets #cartoon #vector #design
