We are still in 2004. Here is a coloured sketch of a megaraptorid walking into the ribcage of an eaten titanosaur. The predator is reflected in a pond of blood. Oh, and I know the sickle-claw shouldn't be there (I was making quite a few mistakes back in 2004).
In 2004 I played with a book idea but never took it to a publisher. I did 100 draft drawings for the proposal (never completed), here is just one more: Spinosaurus (old anatomical proportions) eating a Carcharodontosaurus.

Another pattern of invertebrates for #InverteFest2024 but this time from the Cambrian Period (from 538.8 to 485.4 million years ago). This pattern is made from my linocut animal prints with collaged washi papers. The spiky handprinted Wiwaxia, a soft-bodied animal covered in scales & spines lived in the early & middle Cambrian period and fossils are found worldwide, including in Canada’s Burgess Shale.

For #FossilFriday, we're taking a look at not true fossils, but preserved mud cracks. Below this incredible natural cast of a Eubrontes track, the wide mudcracks were formed during a period of drought and later preserved by water carrying sediment. (1/3) #paleontology#ichnology
I illustrated several books in 2004 (via the Beehive Illustration Agency). One of them was PLANET DINOSAUR, by Steve Parker and Miles Kelly Publishing. I will post the five main paintings (acrylic on card) throughout today. Last is the Late Cretaceous.
Archaeologists discover a remarkable assemblage of petroglyphs and dinosaur footprints in Brazil
A recent discovery at the Serrote do Letreiro Site in Brazil’s Paraíba State has unveiled a unique convergence of paleontological and archaeological marvels. This site, nestled within the Vale dos Dinossauros Natural Monument on the outskirts of the Sousa Basin, features three expansive rock outcrops spanning an area of over 15000 square meters
@archaeology I like that headline. It allows you to imagine for a moment that dinosaurs could have had an artistic mind. 🤭
And well, both was discovered long ago. New is the study about the petroglyphs.

been thinking about doing a drawing of owl tyrannosaurs. is that as stupid as is sounds, or is it at least possible for t. rec or any other large theropod to possess facial discs of that sort? #dinosaurs#paleoart#paleontology
I have a new post over on my #Patreon about the diversity of #bennettitalean leaves!!! I'm not particularly good at shameless self promotion, but if you like #paleobotany and #paleoart this is the kind of thing you can look forward to me posting over there! #paleontology
Another acrylic painting from 2004. It was commissioned by a publisher for a book called "Being There," but it was never published (as far as I know!). It features Stegosaurus and Diplodocus.
This is a linocut of the Parasaurolophus dinosaur, the Late Cretaceous duck-billed hadrosaur with the strange hollow crest on its skull like its own built-in nose trumpet.
The instantly recognizable, large, elaborate cranial crest makes the Parasaurolophus one of the most popular dinosaurs today. It is believed that the crest allowed these animals to distinguish between 🧵
