you know gathering all my progress on on giant marine reptiles I got like less than 20 of the biggest, excluding other large giant ichthyosaurs, large marine crocodiles, turtles and other sauropterygians, is really a long way to follow if I can get them all...

On the very roots of the early Sauropterygians came out Bobosaurus, a genus of Pistosaur from the very Early Late Triassic, this marine reptile had peculiar anatomical features including tall neural spines and its elongated fins which differs greatly from any of its successors

Ok, here are mine: the henodontid placodont Parahenodus atancensis, the simosaurid Paludidraco Parahenodus (we described both taxa back in 2018, from fossils recovered from the Upper Triassic site of El Atance, Spain), and the nothosaur Brevicaudosaurus.

It's again? Ok, here we go:

Hi, I'm Carlos. I am a paleontologist focused in Triassic sauropterygians. I do mostly (but not only) digital paleoart. These are my most recent works, from 2021.

Reconstructing sauropterygians and their often not very flexible bodies, paddled feet and mouth full teeth is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to do!

Nothosaurus, a reptile doing its best impersonation of a Venus flytrap! Nothosaurus was a very diverse genus of medium to large aquatic sauropterygians that lived during the Triassic and primarily preyed on fish. That is a A LOT of long teeth!
