I love the dinosaur side of tumblr

Hey yall, welcome to my Tumblr gallery! Here are some of my most well known/favourite pieces of work I've made (alt text will tell you what's happening).

If you couldn't tell I have a focus on the reptilian side of palaeontology and especially subjects that have strong ties to aquatic environments.

a Tylosaurus investigates a juvenile Stelladens

Abyssosaurus investigates a deep sea drone's camera

Spinosaurus crosses a deeper part of a river delta followed by fish, an early snake, and an azhdarchoid pterosaur

A Parapuzosia seppenradensis has caught a lucky prize on one of her rare trips to the surface, a nyctosaurid pterosaur

an nyctosaurid pterosaur chilling at the surface of the water

a lone Tselfatia swims at a depth of around 500 metres, not another animal in sight

Foxaspis swimming through a bacterial reef looking for some food to eat

a Mangapaulia, standing at 4 metres tall at the back, travels along the coastline followed by three enatiornithine birds, and a curious azhdarchid pterosaur

a Tylosaurus surfaces to take a breath while it's nyctosaurus companion waits for it to find food

a Hatzegopteryx soars through an overcast day hoping to find some food

an Anchiornis lands at the edge of a lake in autumn

a Rajasaurus stalks the lichen covered rocks in the outskirts of the Deccan

an Austroraptor stalks through the seasonal waters of a flooded forest in search of fish, which use the plentiful waters to spawn

an indeterminate Prognathodon species, scars from previous victories and losses paint her body

a Xiphactinus swims by in search of food

a "Styginetta" takes off from the water's surface, spraying droplets everywhere

an early ancestor of whales, the ungulate Indohyus kicks up sediment while travelling across a lake

a juvenile Rhamphorhynchus dives at the wrong time, a Thalattosuchus is about to have an easy meal

a lone Tselfatia is spotted by a deep sea drone

an Epapatelo, a nyctosauromorph pterosaur, soars over the waters of Maastrichtian Angola

a Seriocrinus crinoid floating reef ecosystem, thousands of fish and ammonites call this floating reef of echinoderms home, a curious Cymbospondylus investigates the reef hoping for a snack

a Materpiscis attenboroughi searches for food in the sediment

a Castorocauda swims at the bottom of a lake in search of food

Amazing work!

We are approaching the maximum of images you can post here so I thought it was time I make a little showcase of all the formation pieces we covered so far on the streams.

For people who don't know: for several months now I draw one formation or fossil locality every Saturday. The next place we visit is chosen by a wheel of names, which we also constantly fill up again when a new formation is picked.

I try to make it as interesting as possible in my composition and choice of animals and I can tell you this series has been a great training when it comes to constructing these, how I call them, Menageries.

I have to thank a team of friends and colleagues who help behind the scenes with research, creation of size charts and conversation partners when it comes to deciding on the compositions of these pieces. Their help has been invaluable!
