For here's of Rhamphorhynchus creating Rhamphichnus, simultaneously also creating a sentence with far too many "h"'s. It would be neat to explore more non-pterodactyloid terrestrial locomotion in art, but time is never on my side.

New to the internet for from 2019: the tanystropheid Dinocephalosaurus hunts for small fish by uprooting algae. There are things I'd change about this now but this is a "lost" painting - the original Photoshop file is missing. It is what it is.

So for about fossil symbols for , My favorite sawskate (sawfish are convergent on this extinct Cret family), Texatrygon brycensis. These teeth found in Mid Campanian Wahweap Fm. at Bryce, were from a close relative of Lebanopristis and Micropristis.

For compare the pair. Drimolen P. robustus preserves a suite of morphological traits that make them distinct from P. robustus from Swartkrans and Kromdraai. With Drimolen likely older than swartkrans and kromdraai, we can "see" evolutionary change through time.
