Pencil sketch of Tyrannosaurus rex (T.rex) breaking through a wall.

Posting a graphite sketch I made of Tyrannosaurus rex for a final art assignment since this icon was described on this day 120 years ago. Happy 120 big guy!

Side profile of a T. rex against a bright orange and green background. The rex is yellowish-brown with blue keratin covering the eyebrow and nasal region.

October 4th 2025 is the 120th anniversary of the naming of Tyrannosaurus rex, thought I'd use this occasion do a quick drawing.

Art by me depicting a scene of the Late Triassic of Nova Scotia. A Hypsognathus (parareptile, left) and a Jupijkam (phytosaur, right) are startled by the Manicouagan impact happening far to the north. The scene of the impact parts the clouds and rises far above the tree line like an explosion no human has ever seen in their lifetimes. An explosion so large its scars can still be seen from space today.

Lac Manicouagan in Quebec, Canada is the impact crater of one of the largest impacts of earths history, the sixth-largest to be exact. Known as the eye of Quebec, the Manicouagan reservoir was created near the end of the Triassic period when a 5km (3 mile) wide asteroid smashed into the earths crust

This battle-scarred humpback (MMY0489) is an unusual visitor to the Salish Sea—better known in SE Alaska as McFly. The tooth rake marks show that this 4yo whale managed to fight off a killer whale attack!
