My part of an art trade with @idrawsdinosaurs, who requested Onychodus, a predatory lobe-fin fish from Australia's Gogo formation.
I did two versions, one is a more naturalistic rendition, the other is a stylized character design.
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 2nd entry of #FossilFishWeek, behold the wicked #Onychodus jandemarrai, hailing from Gogo formation in Western Australia, the best preserved of its genus with a fossil of an almost complete skull.
