Some triassic critters
Staurikossaur and hyperodapedon
Hyperodapedon was a stocky rhynchosaur from the Late Triassic period. It grew to 1.3 metres long.

The Triassic sure was full of weird critters.
Hyperodapedon looked like a huge herbivorous tuatara, but was in fact more closely related to dinosaurs and crocs. I gave it a generous amount of soft tissue including ’lips’ and a gecko-like fat tail.

After a long weekend out of town, I was finally able to finish my latest reconstruction of the derived rhynchosaur Hyperodapedon. Was somewhat prompted to do this after seeing how few reconstructions there are on Google; really surprising considering how awesome it is! #paleoart
