Result from the Tiaojishan Formation stream, or rather Yanliao biota stream. This incredible assemblage was on my mind from the very start of doing these pieces, not just because it has tons of fascinating critters but because a big portion of the vertebrates here appear...
Result from the Florissant Formation #paleostream!
While it doesn't look like this this has been one of the most intensely researched pieces of the whole series, but more on that later. On this a late summer evening a Megacerops steps onto a clearing to take a sip from a... 🧵
Results from the Attenborough Birthday Flocking #paleostream! Today we did only animals named in honor of Sir David!
Attenborosaurus, Microleo, Caipirasuchus and Materpiscis.
here's this week's #Paleostream flocking results!
this week we drew Epidexipteryx (mine is a juvenile being chased by a Pterorhynchus), Witwatia, Ceratosuchus (the bird behind it is Diatryma), and Prognathodon (mine has caught a young Archelon)
Results from the #paleostream!
Kalakocetus, Qianjiangsaurus, Caipora and Cartelles, Tarkops and Forstercoperia.
And yes, these last two pieces are Star Wars themed MonkeyCruise paintings ;)
The stars aligned
Yield from the Flocking stream, only on #paleostream
Epidexypteryx, Witwatia (snacking on a plesiopithecus), Ceratosuchus and Prognathodon.
Result from the Milia 5 #paleostream! This locality, from the late Pliocene of Greece, got a lot of attention in the early 2000s for the discovery of giant probocidean remains, most notably 5 m long tusks of Mammut borsoni, the European Mastodon.
this week's #Paleostream flocking was themed around the Walking With series of palaeontology documentaries to honour the late Ben Bartlett who passed yesterday
we sketched Ornithocheirus, Brontoscorpio, Liopleurodon, and Koolasuchus
#AusPalaeo
How can vertebrates evolve to such small adult body sizes without losing their basic physical characteristics? What prevents the smallest vertebrates from getting even smaller? Note the pen for scale.
