You might have seen this little fellow (Longisquama) around on social media: as a teaser for the @projectpaleozoo artbook! Created with many other illustrators, creatives and scientists, it will transport you to a place where past and present meet. #Paleoart #ArtemisPaleozoo

Just a quick mosasaur sketch to get back into things. I've been on a hiatus because my night-time fieldwork has been pretty intense. Yay herpetology! #paleoart #mosasaur

Quick Gnathomortis stadtmani portrait ! Fossil evidence shows that the teeth of mosasaurs, like those of other squamates, were concealed by their gums. The gums retract when they bite on their prey to reveal the teeth. #paleoart #mosasaur
