New #paleoart for #FossilFriday: Baryonyx walkeri portrait factoring new epidermal correlate data gathered for an ongoing project. "Yes" to lips, "no" to a cornified sheath on the nasal crest, "yes" to a boss and scale above the eyes. More details at my Patreon: www.patreon.com/markwitton

Portrait of a long-snouted predatory dinosaur in the dimming evening light. Reddish skin gives way to a paler underside on the neck and face, while conifer trees - skeletonised and in full leaf - are silhouetted against a purply-yellow-blue skyscape.

Today's four random pieces of palaeoart: Mauricio Antón's Smilodon fatalis, Dmitry Bogdanov's Dvinia and "Fortunodon" (Vivaxosaurus), @bobnichollsart.bsky.social's Bonnerichthys, and Petr Modlitba's Carnotaurus!

A snarling, striped sabre-toothed cat in a grassy plain. Its paw is held at the ready, claws unsheathed.

A small, furry cynodont comes face to face with a horned, burrowing dicynodont. The roots of a tree frame the burrow, wrapping around the animals alongside horsetails and other greenery.

A huge pachycormid fish gapes its huge mouth as it swims through sunlit waters. Behind, a huge elasmosaur lunches toward a mixed group of small fish and baculitids.

A slenderly built, earthy-toned Carnotaurus stands atop a rocky hill, overlookijng the land below. Its long tail whips around gracefully, lined with small spines that decorate its dorsal surface.

#FossilFriday: the displaced vertebrae at the base of the unexpectedly long neck of the Plesiosaurus discovered by Mary Anning in 1823 which caused some discussion at the time, and Henry De la Beche's fun interpretation of how the bones came to be displaced in his 1829-31 lithograph Duria antiquior.

Left, photograph of the long neck of a plesiosaur skeleton with a scatter of vertebrae (circled) at the base of the neck; right detail from an 1830 reconstruction of a plesiosaur with its neck being bitten by a large ichthyosaur.

Então, aparentemente usei o termo "Paisagem do Triássico " sendo que Protosphyraena é do Cretáceo. Me foi pedido para acrescentar esse animal na peça, e também discutimos sobre o cenario ser um rio com Neocalamites (cavalinhas do Triássico). Acho que daí o Triássico ficou na minha cabeça hehe

Another "I'm not dead post" while slugging away on Book 7. Here're revisions made to my recent Caudipteryx #paleoart piece after revisiting the distribution of melanised feathers in referred specimens. I also closed the split tail, following feedback from @albertonykus.bsky.social - thanks, Albert!

A black and white, turkey-like dinosaur stands on an icy lake in Cretaceous China. It braces against the slow splay of its legs. As its body incrementally lowers, inching closer to the ice, it hears a voice. The ghosts of the icy forest, perhaps? The spirits of its ancestors? Perhaps nothing else can hear it, but it's getting louder, sharper. Now it can make out a sequence of sounds. They are... words? The same phrase, repeated over and over? First a whisper, then a chant. Yes, it's very clear now. Louder again - a roar! A chorus! They cry:

"GET BACK TO WORK, MARK, YOU HAVE ONE WEEK LEFT TO FINISH YOUR BOOK. THIS IS NOT A PRODUCTIVE USE OF YOUR TIME."

Man, even my alt-text won't give me a break.

Still alive as work on Book 7 enters the last few days, though I am quite sleep-deprived. And which joker organised daylight savings so close to my deadline? Thanks, jerk. Here's some #paleoart of the Jurassic pterosaur Balaenognathus soaring over dinoflagellates, the source of their pink bodies.

Pink pterosaurs, pink water. A flock of pterosaurs adapted for filter-feeding soar along a Jurassic coast undergoing a phytoplankton bloom, exposing the source of the pink carotenoids that they sequester into their fuzz to make their bodies and faces pink. Marine carotenoids would have been especially common from the Mesozoic onwards, and it's very plausible that animals like pterosaurs would have picked them up in their diets.

New at #Patreon: #paleoart of Cretaceous fireflies and #Spinosaurus mirabilis. Fireflies have existed for 100 million years and, thanks to some cool science, we know what colours they illuminated themselves with. Details (+ more new art) at www.patreon.com/markwitton. #dinosaur #fossil #art

Spinosaurus mirabilis, the newly-described tall-crested Spinosaur variant, wanders past a rivebank covered with tiny, dark-green glowing insects. She's seen this show before, so pays no attention. The Moon, conversely, is watching intensely. REAL intensely. Like, back off a bit, guy, give the bugs some space.
