My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
Reconstructing Wufengella for Guo et et al (2022). From the Early Cambrian, Wufengella is evolutionarily important because it is close to the ancestry of Brachiozoa, Bryozoa, and Phoronida. It is from the Chiungchussu Formation, China.

In 2022 I created the first reconstruction of Wufengella, for Guo et et al. From the Early Cambrian, Wufengella is evolutionarily important because it is close to the ancestry of Brachiozoa, Bryozoa, and Phoronida. It is from the Chiungchussu Formation, China.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax & published by Columbia University Press) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. "Their Last Embrace" shows two Allaeochelys turtles copulating to their death in a toxic Eocene Messel Lake.

The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. "The Hunters and the Hunted" shows a snake (Eoconstrictor) about to eat a basilisk lizard (Geiseltaliellus), about to eat a beetle (unidentified).
Because dinosaurs didn’t have a space agency #space #science #esa #dinosaurs #asteroid
To clarify for someone who asked: 44 #Tyrannosaur rexes have been found at Hell Creek (24% of all finds) so the total Hell Creek T-Rex population was ~0.7 million during a 2 million year period. #Dinosaurs #Science #PaleoSky

Weekly Sketch #240 - 6th of April. I drew a Dinosaur again, this time it is a Protoceratops with it's nest, filled with eggs.

#AzhdarchidApril #6- Alanqa saharica, an early azhdarchid from the kem kem beds of morocco
#til #dinosaurs had a much more efficient respiratory system than mammals (then and now) have. Mammals breathe in and out alternately through the same hole. In between, oxygen had to be transferred to the blood and CO2 from the blood and then the blood carries the gases all around. The dinosaurs had air sacs throughout their body, even in their bones. Dinosaurs were full of air. O2 could reach all parts of their body faster than by blood. They were very energetic, and ran hot. (1/2)
#AzhdarchidApril #5- Arambourgiania philidelphiae, one of the first azhdarchids to be named, and among the largest flying creatures to ever live.
