Sadly again I gotta only do a lineart, but for #inktober Day 8; Stinky I wanted to do something a little unexpected, so I went with the most famous scavenger, the massive vulture Argentavis. (Not doing the tags this time, I’ll post her colored later alongside Aflass)

I’m not out yet! #inktober Day 7; Panic! I initially wanted to do something running from Hatzegopteryx as kind of a bit and never end up doing her, but it was a disservice to this massive aerial monster. #paleoart #paleosky #pterosaur #hatzegopteryx #oc #ocart #ocsky #gijinka

Hatzegopteryx
Hatzi
Hateg Basin Wing

Hatzegopteryx is an azhdarchid pterosaur from the Mediterranean, being found from Hateg Island off of Romania, it was the apex predator of the island, gliding to and from the mainland and snatching up anything small enough to fit in its mouth. It didn’t hunt fish and instead hunted land vertebrates. It’s thought that it could’ve been bigger than Quetzalcoatlus, but more material needs to be found.

Hatzi’s are relentless. I have seen them chasing prey for hours. They will go without sleep, circling prey by gliding on the breeze. They often seem fairly sleep deprived with wide eyes. They’re irritable, and considering their size, that’s a very bad thing. Generally, if an azhdarchid shadow passes over you, hope you weigh enough to not become a target. Even then, they might land and stare down at you. I’ve learned to puff up my chest enough that they generally ignore me.

#inktober Day 2; Relic I chose to choose something that’s a relic to us (although admittedly any fossil would’ve worked). Have the namesake of the living fossil, the Permian Coelacanthus #paleoart #paleosky #gijinka #oc #ocart #ocsky #coelacanthus

Coelacanthus
Coelan
Hollow Spine

Coelacanths as a group have been around for ages, with Coelacanthus being the first one found, way before the one was fished up off the coast of Africa. Coelacanthus is from the Permian, and as such is one of the lucky few marine clades to survive past the great dying and the two hundred million years or so into the modern day. A true survivor.

I only see Coelan’s at night. I suspect they spend most of their time during the day asleep at the bottom of the ocean or in caves. They’re slow moving, and often have a bit of a derpy smile to them, but I think it’s quite cute to see. Sometimes they’ll come out too early and I’ll see them stumbling about in the water, struggling to see in the evening light. I’ve even had a few bump into me when I’m at the surface watching, and I always just very gently push them back to deeper water.

Rexxi @rexxitheanimetrex.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

After a day of deliberation, I gotta interrupt the comic to bring you #inktober day 1, Gastornis, a terror bird relative who enjoyed fruit rather than flesh. #paleoart #paleosky #oc #ocsky #dinosaur #dinosaurart #gijinka

Gastornis
Gastoni
Gaston’s Bird

Despite what many people think, Gastornis was not a terror bird, although closely related. Terror birds are commonly understood as Phorusrachidae, which Gastornis is not a part of. It lived several million years before the first true terror bird, as most of them popped up in the neogene and recently have been found to possibly having lived until 25,000 years ago. Gastornis also is known for being a frugivore, eating fruits and seeds instead of small animals like its descendants would.

Gastoni's are actually surprisingly nice to run into. They aren't territorial, they won't chase you, they just want their fruits. They'll use their beaks to break branches they can reach and cause the fruit to drop, often then sitting down and enjoying their harvest. With the abundance of fruit, they aren't very defensive of it, though they do pack a mean kick and peck if you really do piss them off. Like all animals, they still should only be viewed from a distance... but I cannot lie, the occasional free fruit break when exploring is VERY nice to have in an environment as unforgiving as these islands.

Rexxi @rexxitheanimetrex.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

So recently I’ve been on a bit of an invertebrate kick, that isn’t ending any time soon with the amount of cephalopods in my sights, so have an extinct giant honey bee! Not to be confused with the extant giant honey bee. #paleoart #invertebrate #oc #ocsky #gijinka #paleosky

Apis Lithohermaea (Giant Honey Bee)
Honey
Stone Messenger Bee

The giant honey bee, (this one at least, there are two. Apis Lithohermaea, the extinct, and Apis Dorsata, the living one) is a fossil specimen first discovered in Japan. Not much is known about these bees other than their impressive size (for bees), and their relative likeness to modern bees. The fossils are impressions in stone, preserving the entire body and wings. It’s also the first bee in the Dorsata species group to be found in the fossil record, and one of the most far north.

Honey’s are very friendly surprisingly. There’s a reason that the Neogene island is one of the most flowering. It’s the abundance of insects like her that buzz around. Often times however, their wings are too small to keep their bodies up, and they’ll accidentally make other creatures into pollinators. They’ll often find a nearby large, furry mammal who won’t swat them away, and just rest on them. All the while, their fuzz is leaking pollen. If they particularly like an animal in their territory, they’ll decorate her in flowers. No, I have not had the chance to find a saxophone to see if they like jazz, shut up.

Been a little while since I posted because I’ve been slacking on the descriptions, but hey! Have Uintacrinus, probably the weirdest animal I’ve done so far! #paleoart #paleosky #crinoid #ocsky #ocart #gijinka

Uintacrinus
Utacri
Crinoid from the Uinta Mountains

Crinoids are a very interesting animal order. They're echinoderms, so related to sea sponges, starfish, and urchins. Crinoids opted for the sedentary lifestyle, anchoring themselves to stone or rock or coral and catching whatever algae or other food passed by.. except for one. Uintacrinus is a crinoid from the cretaceous, but more strangely, is found fossilized in these massive sheets of just it, tangled within itself and other organisms. Ultimately, this turned into a discovery.. Uintacrinus was a free-swimming crinoid, floating around in massive groups like floating coral reefs.

Utacri reefs are very rare, I will admit. They aren't that large, maybe a few feet long at the biggest, but there's always tons of them. They float around like jellyfish, occasionally randomly reaching for whatever prey catches their eye. They'll grab onto anything if they think its interesting, though that sometimes causes giant predators to get caught up in them like nets. That.. doesn't end well for the Utacri's.

I've unfortunately come to the part of doing all the canon JW animals that the ones left just.. don't interest me or are ugly as sin. So instead, I decided to reference something else with this one, have Altispinax. #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleosky #oc #ocsky #gijinka #fossilfighters

Altispinax
Altix
With high spines

Altispinax is a carnosaurid theropod from the very very early Cretaceous. Admittedly it’s a very fragmentary animal, and there isn’t much to write about. It was confused for megalosaurus like five times? Arguably its claim to fame comes from the fact that Jurassic world knowingly used its junior taxa, becklespinax. When asked, the artists didn’t even know why they picked it, just that it was always the Junior synonym.

Altix are.. not that common. I actually see their young ones far more, but I decided to find an adult to document. The adults turn gray and green, while the little ones are brown and yellow. That pattern does stay with the Altix. The young ones are boisterous, aggressive, and just.. kinda mean. However they mellow out in their age, often digging around in the dirt for entertainment. I’ve seen them even pick fights over finding bones, and many times itll end with bloodshed. Not necessarily death, but these guys are certainly *FOSSIL FIGHTERS*.
...I’ll see myself out.

Rexxi @rexxitheanimetrex.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

I finally remembered I was doing these collections. Here's all three new species from Jurassic World. Yep. Only three. There are no other animals in that movie. (oh and Brachi cameo) #jurassicworld #paleoart #paleosky #dinosaur #dinosaurart #oc #ocsky #gijinka

Brachiosaurus
Bracchi
Arm Lizard

Brachiosaurus is a very well understood sauropod, and often said to be the most famous, in no doubt to John Williams. While not the tallest, longest, or even the most interesting, Brachiosaurus will always hold a place in many’s hearts.

Bracchi’s are sweet, soft spoken, and gentle giants. They’re the only prey no predator dare even touch. For some reason, if a single scratch is ever laid on a Bracchi, every Rexxi on the island will descend on whatever dared hurt it.

Apatosaurus
Apatta
Deceptive Lizard

Apatosaurus held their heads, necks, and tails significantly more parallel to the ground. While still sauropods, they’re the flagship of these longer necks, apart from maybe Diplodocus.

Appatta’s are an unfortunate victim of dinosaur women height scaling. Due to their height being exactly with how the animal way, Appatta’s are often given the short end of the stick. Instead, they pair up with larger sauropods and become practically impenetrable herds of massive giants. In return to taking the front spots, the taller sauropods will help the Appatta’s reach branches they might not be able to otherwise.

Dimorphodon
Dimorpha
Two-form teeth

Dimorphodon is an early Jurassic pterosaur, back when they had much longer tails. Its jaw has two types of teeth, long sharp front teeth and smaller, needle teeth towards the back. In pterosaurs, teeth were already fairly uncommon, but having two types was even more so. Dimorphodon itself is fairly “primitive” but late Cretaceous standards, and don’t get me started on the pug-rex-block-face that Jurassic World gave it.

Dimorpha are stand-offish. They’re loud, boisterous, and often try to seem a lot bigger than they are. They’re small, but considering there’s not many other pterosaurs on the Jurassic island, she can get away with it. Dimorpha’s are also fairly like raccoons, eating anything they can catch. They’re fairly easily to scare away though, after all.. they’re barely a meter tall.

Mosasaurus
Mosa
Meuse Lizard

The mosasaurus is the most defining apex predator of the aquatic cretaceous seas. Evolving from jurassic monitor lizards, it became one of the first lizards to give live birth. Mosasaurus and other aquatic reptiles are not dinosaurs, they are aquatic reptiles in their own order. In fact, they branch before dinosaurs, since Dinosauria and Reptilia are different Classes. The Mosa pictured is actually the oldest designed creature here, due to being from a previous story and world, and transferred here. As such, her design may feel out of place due to having the hood down a majority of the time.

I need to get better about posting these, have an Amargasaurus. #dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleosky #paleoart #oc #ocsky #gijinka

Amargasaurus
Mara
La Amarga Lizard

Amargasaurus is a sauropod from… you guessed it, Argentina. I’d be rich if I had a dollar for each species from Argentina. Anyway, it’s from the Cretaceous and actually has a very interesting debate going on. Amargasaurus had massive neural spines that jutted out from the back of its neck, and there’s two leading theories. Either they were just exposed, or they were covered by a sail like on Dimetrodon and spinosaurus. As you can see, I went with the sail variation, even though it seems the current majority are in favor of just exposed spines.

Mara’s are peaceful, although they’re some of the only sauropods I’ve really seen stand up and fight. Most other sauropods will kick and walk away, often times actually leading to them bleeding out. I’ve not seen a Mara that hasn’t taken its attacker down. Their sails are a very good deterrent from attackers, but those who try end up with this girl slamming the back of her head as hard as possible into whatever’s trying to kill her. If they’re lucky, they can even survive, although it’s extremely painful. This also mangles their sails, so the smaller Mara’s tend to center around any Mara without a sail. They even take care of each other to try and make sure the Mara that was attacked isn’t killed by the broken spines.

020

Rexxi @rexxitheanimetrex.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

So now that I found out that surviving earth is available to me (and watching it), decided to visit a part of the islands that not many people do.. Scutosaurus, and the Northern Rift #paleoart #paleosky #oc #ocsky #gijinka

Scutosaurus
Scuti
Shield Lizard

Scutosaurus is a heavily armored herbivore from the late Permian, and was likely the largest animal to walk on land thus far. It’s likely to have been heavier than a tonne, and also likely lived in large groups that would travel. It had heavy plating along its back with strong osteoderms being preserved along its back and head.

The northern rift is a range that’s extremely dangerous. The air is dense with carbon dioxide, the oxygen thin up high, and the heat impossible to survive below. There’s a crater that just spews lava. Not even the plant life survives. If you’re ever here, run. This place is inhospitable to everything but the smallest burrowers. The rift causes the oceans to turn to acid and the rain to burn. Nothing should be here, but when the wind blows right, it scares the animals that live inland to retreat from the heat. Their instincts are to climb, and unfortunately that sometimes brings them up to the northern rift. The ground is lined with fallen gorgonopsids, and sometimes a herd of scuto’s. I try to not interfere, especially on islands I don’t live, but I couldn’t watch this girl die alone. I took her back down the mountain, away from the smoke, I hope she’ll be okay.

Rexxi @rexxitheanimetrex.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Granted I only checked recently, but after two years, I finally completed the alphabet. And for some reason, the last letter was J. Have a Juxia. #Paleoart #paleosky #oc #ocsky #gijinka

Juxia
Juxi
Gigantic Rhinoceros

Juxia is a relative small paraceratheriid, a group of large mammals closely related to modern rhinoceros. Juxia is about the size of a horse, which while still large, is nowhere near the sizes later paraceratheriids got, including paraceratherium itself being in contention for the largest land mammal ever. Admittedly, Juxia is interesting as the small start to a massive lineage, but I chose it purely so I could have an animal that’s name began with J-

Juxi’s act like horses, which is kind of funny considering other horses are on these islands. I suppose then, Juxi acts more like a donkey or a rhino. While the horses run at the slightest bit of danger, Juxi’s stand their ground. They’re surprisingly strong, although they’re also not opposed to running and finding a larger paraceratheriid to hide behind (boy am I tired of writing that word)

Rexxi @rexxitheanimetrex.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Coming back and trying to face some fears. It didn’t work. Have the Hell Ants! (Or at least 6/10 of them) #paleoart #paleosky #gijinka #oc #ocsky #originalart

Hell Ants
Hellan
Haidomyrmecinae

Hell ants are a diverse set of ants made up of 10 extinct genuses all from the middle Cretaceous. Most fossils of these guys are encased in amber, leading to pretty perfect preservation. The one downside is I am scared of bugs, especially up close, so this was a terrifying art session. The genuses represented here are Haidomyrmex, Chonidris, Aquilomyrmex, Haitoderminus, Dhagnathus, and Linguamyrmex. The rest of the genus either were only preserved in one fossil, were too similar to the already represented genus, I straight up could not understand what I was looking at, or a mix of those.

Hellan’s act like ants for the most part. They’re by far some of the smallest girls I’ve seen, maybe only an inch or two tall each, blowing the previous smallest out of the water.. ironic considering it was Haikouichthys. They’re somewhat territorial, and I’ve seen quite a lot of cross-genus collaboration between them. The one issue is that because of this, they keep creeping onto the shore and trying to steal my food supply. The good news is that the Kyua’s LOVE them, so I don’t have to worry as much about sharing my rations.

010

Rexxi @rexxitheanimetrex.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

And now to start off shark week. I already did Helicoprion, so I ended up doing a closely related species instead. #paleoart #paleosky #oc #ocsky #gijinka #sharkweek

Parahelicoprion
Popri
Near Spiral Saw

Parahelicoprion was Helicoprion was bigger. While it is a lot more fragmentary of an animal, the full spiral saw not having been uncovered, what we have found indicates that it may as well have been the largest Paleozoic predator, especially after the dunkening shrunkening.

Popri’s are a lot less brooding than Copri’s. When faced with danger, Copri’s are liable to just sit there and watch, sometimes fighting back. A Popri will always fight back. They’re not afraid of damaging their whirl, and will slam their chest into anything they think they can slice through, often then using their wrists to do further damage. A fight with a Popri ends up looking like you tried to flirt with Wolverine.

Time to break in Volume 2, and who better to start with than Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus! Wait didn’t I already- #paleoart #paleosky #oc #ocsky #dinosaur #dinosaurart #spinosaurus #tyrannosaurus #Gijinka

Tyrannosaurus Mcraeensis
Maxxi
Tyrant Lizard from McRae

The southern cousin of T Rex, Mcraeensis is slightly smaller and slightly less bulky than Rex. While Rex lived up in Hell Creek in Canada, Mcraeensis was found down in New Mexico in the McRae Group. It’s also ironically the only Tyrannosaurus species other than Rex to be valid for longer than one month. The rest turned out to be Tarbosaurus, Gorgosaurus, and Albertosaurus.

Spinosaurus Mirabilis
Mira (or Spina-Mira)
Astonishing Spined Lizard

Discovered earlier this year, Spinosaurus Mirabilis is one of the most in tact spinosaurus skulls ever found, and most interestingly, it had a massive scimitar crest. Spinosaurus Aegypticus had a crest, but nowhere near as pronounced as Mirabilis. Given the material found, it was nicknamed the Hell Heron.

Maxxi’s and Mira’s hate each other just as much as Rexxi’s and Spina’s, however they seem to put up with each other a lot better. It’s not an on sight fight leading to death, it’s often just quiet hatred. They avoid each others territory from what I’ve seen, although I can’t say too much. Mira’s are extremely new to the island. They don’t even coexist with Spina’s very well, who often pull at the crest to tease them. Maxxi’s and Rexxi’s seem to get along fine.

Rexxi @rexxitheanimetrex.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Arguably the most famous dinosaur I’ve not done yet, aside from maybe Diplodocus, and one that’s recently come into contention. Her art was either this or battling a hippo.. I went with the more time appropriate. #suchomimus #paleoart #paleosky #dinosaur #dinosaurart #oc #ocsky #gijinka

Suchomimus
Sucho
Crocodile Mimic

Suchomimus is an African spinosaur from the River of giants, described in late 1998. Being from Niger, it likely shared its habitat with spinosaurus, and would have hunted in a similar niche. Its teeth were sharp and conical, perfect for gripping slippery prey. Recently however its validity has come into question, leading us to..

Cristatusaurus
Christie
Crested Reptile

Cristatusaurus is a very fragmentary animal that lived in the same area and time period as suchomimus. It’s known from jaw fragments, two vertebra, and a few fingers. Still that’s enough to identify it as a spinosaurid. The issue is however that it was also described in 1998. Cristatusaurus was described first, meaning if one of the genus is invalid, it would be Suchomimus, becoming a junior synonym of Cristatusaurus. However, seeing as how popular Suchomimus has become, even featuring in Jurassic World media, this ruffled some feathers, pun intended.

Sucho’s have been very prevalent, and almost always have been. They’re probably the most common animal I hadn’t drawn, however a very recent problem has started to occur. I’ve occasionally seen Christie’s, and while they normally just mind their own business, recently Sucho’s have been going out of their way to attack Christie’s. Recently they’ve developed some hatred. I’ve not actually seen an elderly Sucho, but if these two are really the same animal, it means that the Sucho’s really refuse to respect their elders. From what I’ve seen from other Spinosaurs, that’s not exactly out of the ordinary.

Rexxi @rexxitheanimetrex.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

So I'm drawing for the first time in a few days, listening to a massive mash playlist of every single JP/JW film and game ost on spotify, and as soon as I finish, the main theme from the first film starts playing. Its a sign. Anyway here's Titanichthys. #paleoart #paleosky #oc #ocsky #gijinka

Titanichthys
Tanich
Titanic Fish

Titanichthys is a placoderm from the Devonian, closely related to Dunkleosteus. Being of similar size and stature, you may assume that Titanichthys was also a macropredator, but it was actually a filter feeder. It’s mouth plates are long and slender, not sharpened like Dunkleosteus, leading many paleontologists to believe that Titanichthys would swallow schools of krill or small anchovy-like fish, keeping them trapped while the water was able to slip through the plates.

Tanich’s are far less aggressive than Duna’s. I’ve not met a Duna that doesn’t hate you, and I’ve never met a Tanich that has tried to attack me. They love to just float along, filter feeding on the plankton and krill that pass through the water, taking small gulps of water and ejecting the bubbles through the gills and armor plates. They even often do this to play, blowing bubbles at each other. That or it’s a dominance ritual, but considering how docile these huge fish already are, I would be surprised.

041

Rexxi @rexxitheanimetrex.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

For today’s collection.. one that I was forced to do. I often try to refuse to acknowledge this film aside from the aviary scene. #jurassicpark #dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleosky

Spinosaurus
Spina
Spined Lizard

The Spinosaurus is a theropod that lived in Africa during the middle Cretaceous. It was semi aquatic and hunted fish. Due to its stature, it is the tallest and longest theropod. THIS DOES NOT MEAN IT IS THE LARGEST. Largest is measured by weight. The Spinosaurus is also an OVERHYPED B- I must keep my bias out of my rambling.

You have never seen rage until you’ve seen a Rexxi and Spina fight. Should either cross paths, there will be blood. A deep seeded hatred was formed in 2001 and has never let up. Spinas are generally weaker, although they can put up a fight. Once or twice they can win, but they don’t kill. Rexxis never hold back, and go for the neck constantly. Spinas themselves are extremely aggressive. They will attack anything that enters their territory. Even though they often lose to other predators, most Spina controlled territories are void of other threats. They just don’t see it as worth it, especially if a Rexxi comes by.

Ankylosaurus
Anky
Fused Lizard

Ankylosaurus was a thick plated animal, known for the club on the end of its tail. Given its stature, the club could theoretically have been used to shatter leg bones of attacking predators, but other fossils indicate that the Ankylosaurus actually used it on other Ankylosaur’s as a dominance sign. It likely was used for both.

Anky’s are fairly high tempered. It doesn’t take a lot for them to start swinging at you. They aim low, but the problem comes with their humanoid form. They’re not aiming for the shins anymore, they’re aiming for what’s between them.

Corythosaurus
Cori
Helmeted Lizard

Corythosaurus is a hadrosaur from the late Cretaceous. They’re actually extremely well known, as they have several complete skeletons found. We even have scale impressions. The crest itself is unknown what it would’ve been used for. Ultimately, probably display.

Cori’s like to hang around Anky’s. They’re fairly social, with each one’s crest having a different pattern. They use these to identify each other. They’re also a herding species, and will gather in groups. Often times this can lead to them guiding stampedes, as their crests create loud bright colors for others to follow. If a Cori is running and you can hear thunder.. follow them.

Ceratosaurus
Cera
Horned Lizard

Ceratosaurus is a late Jurassic theropod from Colorado. Its first skeleton is the most in tact one known. They were one of the larger theropods of the time, but pale in comparison to some later Cretaceous theropods. Most distinctively is the horn on their face, although often exaggerated in popular media (I’m not helping).

Cera’s aren’t known to be extremely hostile. In fact, they’ll often remain peaceful if you respect your distance from them. They more often than not end up striking deals and being underlings to larger, more dangerous threats on the island, but have been known to work alone. Lone Cera’s are significantly more hostile.

I’m several days late, but happy 250th everyone. Have a patriotic dinosaur. #paleoart #paleosky #dinosaur #dinosaurart #oc

Capitalsaurus
Merika
Lizard of the Capital

In 1898, sewers were being dug in Washington DC. Ever since the middle Jurassic, DC has been a marshland (yes it still is, it’s just hidden), and those tend to fossilize extremely well. While those sewers were being dug, a SINGLE tail vertebrae was found. It’s attributed to a theropod, possibly a tyrannosaur, but literally no other material has been found, especially since nobody is going to let DC be dug up to find more. Almost immediately, it was voted to become the official dinosaur of the capital. I think it’s very fitting that the dinosaur representing the capital of America… was found in the sewers. I need it to be known, the following is critiquing the government, not the people.

Merika’s are obnoxious. They are constantly screaming, roaring, charging into places they shouldn’t be. I’ve seen them attack basically anything and everything. They pick fights with Gyga’s and Spina’s, often attacking anything from Central America or Africa. They also love to charge into the northwest desert and kick out anything they want. Often it takes multiple Tarbos to throw them back into the jungles. I don’t think anybody likes them, and most people just.. tolerate these angry, violent, self centered, greedy, over indulgent loudmouths. God bless Merika..

Coming back for #JurassicJune we have Rugops, one of six abelisaurs used in the indominus genome. Seriously, how does she have arms when her genome is HALF ABELISAURS?? #Dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleosky #oc #ocsky

Rugops
Rugi
Wrinkle Face

Rugops is an abelisaur known from a single skull, and was found in Niger in 2000. The fossil found is thought to be a sub-adult due to a few aspects of the skull and small size compared to other abelisaurs of the time period. However, it was one of the first theropods found in the region, helping further the understanding of the area, and demonstrating that Niger was still connected to Gondwana at that point in history. Its skull seems weak, suggesting it could have been a scavenger instead of full on hunter. The genome was used for the indominus rex, and theoretically influenced her scale ornamentation.

Rugi’s from what I’ve seen are headstrong. Most abelisaurs I’ve found are, and especially now that I’m searching from a list, I’ll hopefully understand them better. Rugi’s will chase off smaller scavengers, tending to live in the deserts and sparse forests on the island. I’ve seen one or two wander a bit too far and cross paths with a river of giants animal. It.. never ends well for the Rugi, who doesn’t back down from trying to take the kill.

Back to #JurassicJune with the terrible Deinosuchus! I have.. no idea how this one turned out so well, but such an awesome animal deserves a design as such! #oc #ocsky #paleoart #paleosky

Deinosuchus
Deina
Terrible crocodile

Deinosuchus is arguably the most famous extinct crocodile, and for good reason. Being 10 meters long, Deinosuchus is one of the largest crocodilian relatives, if not the largest. Its fossils have been found in 12 US states, and something interesting is that its skeletal structure actually matches smaller modern crocodilians opposed to the monsters of today. It lived on both sides of the Western Interior Seaway, and was one of the few non-dinosaur animals of the Cretaceous to easily be able to take on almost any theropod it could come across. Deinosuchus was an absolute monster, and a badass one.

The best way I can describe the Deina’s I’ve seen are punk. They ride to their own beat, swimming along without a care in the world. A water source with a Deina is a water source nobody dares visit. There’s one nearby, and she has tried getting to me a few times. She’s insanely smart, and moves location every few days. I do too, but there’s been a few close calls of her diving out of the water to try to drag me in. She does think she’s a lot smaller, and has tried hiding in streams to catch me off guard, but her tail sticks out. Even still, her armored hood intrigues me.. not as much as the piercing. I’m not sure how, but it seems more and more of these animals are gaining human accessories. I’d look into it, but I have no idea how to..

Interrupting Jurassic June for a smidge is a specific request from a friend; Vulcanodon #paleoart #dinosaurart #dinosaur #paleosky #oc #ocsky

Vulcanodon
Vulca
Volcanic Tooth

Vulcanodon is a very primitive sauropod from the early Jurassic. Its name comes from its discovery, its fossils being found between lava flows in Zimbabwe. For decades it was regarded as the earliest sauropod ever discovered, and is often cited as the most primitive. This distinction is due to its extremely close similarities to other prosauropods from the Triassic like plateosaurus. The distinction comes in from the idea that Vulcanodon was the first entirely quadrupedal of the clade, and thus the first true sauropod.

Vulca’s tend to stay in fairly arid and rocky areas, often sticking around the occasional flood basalts and volcanic rock areas. Their size helps them fend off whatever may attack them, as living in such hostile areas leads to them not often having to contend with larger predators. Allie’s do like the deserts, but the Vulca’s don’t tend to encounter them too often. Titans of the stone, Vulca’s are often impressive when encountered even if one of the smallest sauropods, even on this side of the island.
