Studies of the elephants for which we actually know what the size and morphology of external ear looks like. From left to right woolly mammoth, asian elephant, savannah elephant, forest elephant. Scaled to around same head size

There we go, the first formation piece of the year 2025.
The upper Bugti member of the Chitarwata formation has a lot of megafauna (and not much else), but it contains one of the few instances where Paraceratherium and proboscideans overlapped.

The gigantic, tube-nosed, possibly suction-feeding sea turtle Ocepechelon - one of the weirdest animals of the Late Cretaceous in my opinion

A Coahuilasaurus looks at something out of frame. It was in the middle of drinking at a river. Some water droplets can be seen falling from its mouth and its reflection can be seen below it in the water. Coahuilasaurus is a hadrosaurid that was discovered in Mexico.

Platybelodon. I think I need to revise it a bit though

"King of Meadows" - Prospective printmaking design. I'm not sure how large this would need to be nor if I'd need to do woodcut or linocut. Or if it'd be better off being screenprinted.

But...whatever I decide in the far flung future here's the art for it. #art #printmaking #megaloceros #pleistocene

Wild and weird variety of artiodactyls

Pencil drawing of the head and neck of a Citipati, a feathered dinosaur with a prominent head crest and a beak, carrying a dead Zalambdalestes, an opossum-like mammal.

I've worn this joke out elsewhere after several years, but: new platform, et cetera.

Don't forget that during the Mesozoic, the 'turkeys' eat you.

Happy Thanksgiving, USian friends.

Citipati and Zalambdalestes. From 2017/18.

Digital painting showing a fiery, apocalyptic landscape somewhere in North America, several months after the Chicxulub Impact. Two partridge-like birds forage in the foreground, illuminated by the orange flow of distant wildfires. Looming above waves/piles of carcasses & logs is the charred skull of the iconic horned dinosaur Triceratops.

Hey all! 👋

To introduce myself for any newcomers, I'm a primarily digital artist with an interest in paleontology. I draw a lot of dinosaurs, as well as some creature art and fanart (particularly Jurassic Park).

Just learned the absolutely insane news that a cub of what is likely a Homotherium latidens was found and just described. Couldnt help but make a quick study of it. Too busy to take it any further now but i’m sure i’ll return to it as soon as I’m able

I'll be posting more frequently here again once I get in the swing of things. For now, here's a wip of the #Carnotaurus animation for my next video. Artwork was done by me and the animation was done by @tylerstoneart.bsky.social

This is not a drill, a mummified sabretooth cat has been published from the #Pleistocene permafrost of Russia. It's a Homotherium cub! The team (Lopatin et al.) reckon it's Homotherium latidens. It's too young to have enlarged upper canines. Paper is OA ... www.nature.com/articles/s41... cont...
