The “Chicken Yard” track site, lower Cretaceous of Germany, in an older oil painting. This piece won’t be in the upcoming PALAEONAVIX SHOP, but awaiting a new home with some friends of ours. #wealdengroup #cretaceous #Dinosaurs #theropod #oilpainting #paleontology #art #research #chickenyard

Turning this Triceratops head to greyscale became similar to an old Pachyrhinosaurus sketch from more than 20 years ago.Like some coat of arms or antique shield. #ceratopsian #triceratops #pachyrhinosaurus #dinosaur #cretaceous #paleontology #artandscience #drawing #art #fossils #creature #horned

Skeletal remains and social behaviour: Why do social groups die out in one-off disasters? Even an outdated sketch raised this question – later, scientists replaced the wave with a lightning strike. The mystery remains: why don’t they disperse? #pencildrawing #jurassic #sauropod #dinosaur #painting

Still a stem crocodile, but most of these guys after the TJ-extinction all look very croc-type. This genus was more a fish hunter, but certainly dangerous for a whole range of dinosaurs. And smaller crocodiles. Including own breed. Sarcosuchus, oil, 2014 #crocodile #giants #oilpainting #art

Pending discussion about how much of a fluke was present across plesiosaurs, however, this type of 4-flipper propelling lacks any extant comparison. Elasmosaurid, oil, 2014 #plesiosaur #elasmosaurus #marinereptile #sauropterygian #saurian #Cretaceous #digitalpainting #ArtandScience #paleontology

Giganotosaurus, Sketch #pencildrawing #sketchbook #dinosaur #giant #ArtandScience #research #earthhistory

Triodus, a xenacanthid (stem-group) shark from the Early Permian. Some may have performed a catfish-like lifestyle. Where large amphibians were absent, Xenacanthidae took the role as apex predators in rivers and lakes some 290 million years ago. #shark #fossilfish #permian #paleozoic #digitalart

Early Permian lake fauna (from food web for a conference poster): growth stages of the filtering stem chondrichthyan Acanthodes, the crocodile-shaped amphibian Archegosaurus, and the stem actinopterygian ('palaeonisciform') Elonichtys. #fish #fossilfish #illustrationart #permian #amphibian
