I'm making a series of infographics at the moment for some school groups, and, honestly, I'm really enjoying it!!! They're learning about paleontology, and I was asked if I could provide some images of extinct plants and animals! Here are the first few: #paleoart #scicomm #education #paleontology

15 December 1829: in reply to an enquiry sent via their mutual friend Charlotte Murchison, Mary Anning provides Charles Lyell with information about the rate of erosion of Church Cliffs at Lyme Regis which he uses in his 1830 book, 'Principles of Geology', acknowledging Anning as his source.

[footnote:] This ground was measured by Dr, Carpenter of Lyme, and again in 1829, as I am informed, by Miss Mary Anning of Lyme, well known by her discoveries in fossil remains.' ; bottom left: extract of a letter of 15 December 1829 from Anning to Lyell with the information used in his 'Principles': 'I have made enquires of Dr: Carpenter he says that in the year 1800 he paced the Church Cliffs from a certain hedge and that (’they’ deleted) it was thirty paces to the edge of the Cliff (which is about 100 feet perpendicular height) it is fallen away from that hedge so as to leave about one yard between edge hedge and the edge of the Cliff having lost 29 yards in as many years.'

results of this week's #Paleostream flocking!!! this week we sketched Camelops, Daemonosaurus, Panderodus, and Eustreptospondylus #sciart #paleoart
a Camelops walks past a fairly newly formed tarpit nestled amongst thick vegetation

Camelops is an extinct kind of camel that lived during the last ice age, unlike modern camels it had quite a slender snout and was slightly taller, it's unknown if it had a hump or not, however, we know that if it did have a hump it would only have one rather than two thanks to the shape of its backa Daemonosaurus slowly walks along the shallow muddy banks of a lake in the morning, it's slow movements are calculated as to not alert any nearby phytosaurs

Daemonosaurus is a Triassic dinosaur who's position in the dinosaur family tree is still debated, some consider it a basal theropod, while others consider it a non-theropod saurischian related to dinosaurs like Hererrasaurus. it's a small dinosaur with a short face and large teeth, although, it's only known from a single skull, some neck material, and a few ribsthree Panderodus kick up fine sediment by the shoreline of the ocean at night, they're illuminated from above by a light offscreen and outside of the water

Panderodus is an unusual type of conodont (extinct jawless fish related to lampreys) which is flat like a stingray unlike other conodonts which are more eel-like. it's most well known for it's large conodont elements (mineralised tooth-like structures) which are simple and very proportionally large, some species of Panderodus have grooves on their conodont elements, which some scientists have proposed were for delivering venom, this would make conodonts the earliest venomous vertebratesa Eustreptospondylus swims along the surface of the water during the afternoon, most likely travelling to a nearby island. the camera is at the surface of the water with a small portion above showing the animal's head, while most of the camera is under the water where the body is. bubbles escape from the dinosaur's feathers as a wave submerges its body with only its head left above the water. the animal is swimming using a mix of its tail, legs, and arms.

Eustreptospondylus is a theropod dinosaur known from Jurassic England when it was a series of scattered islands. Eustreptospondylus is only known from one juvenile specimen, the juvenile is around a meter tall at the hip. none of Eustreptospondylus' closest relatives preserve a nasal bone, so one scientists suspects that they could have had nasal crests akin to dinosaurs like Ceratosaurus or Guanlong, this isn't known for sure but i have followed this interpretation in my reconstruction of the animal.

New at #Patreon: an illustrated review of what we know, and some of what we don't, about the colours and patterns of ancient marine invertebrates (ft. trilobites, orthoceratoids, ammonites and Cambrian critters). Check it out at www.patreon.com/c/markwitton #paleoart #fossils #paleontology #sciart
The orthoceratoid Michelinoceras anguliferum, sporting a natty set of zigzags along its shelll, is probably better dressed than most of us today. Here, it's inflicting a fashion attack on a buried worm.Cambrian polychaete Canadia spinosa is shiny, thanks to structural colouration.A minor pile up between three migrating trilobites, Eldredgeops rana. The red dots on these animals are strange translucent lenses that might, it's speculated, be windows for pigmentation through their carapaces.Two Dieneroceras subquadratum conversing about life as drifters in Triassic plankton. The banding pattern on their shells is fossil accurate, although the exact colours are unknown.

Fun fact, a lot of wonderful scientific illustrations you see in the 19th century natural science publications, were done by women, usually spouses of the researchers as uncredited free labour. The famous finches, came from John Gould, his wife, Elizabeth, illustrated his ornithology books.
