Daliansaurus liaoningensis is a ~1m troodontid unique among Paraves due to having two elongated sickle-like claws instead of one, at 2nd and 4th pedal digits ("similar" to Balaur bondoc, which has them at 1st and 2nd pedal digits). #Paleoart #FossilFriday #dinosaur #sciart

Today is another day talking about the variable coexistence of scales and feathers, mammal hair lossing comparissions and its possible implications representing some non avian dinosaur external appearance. #paleoart

Papiliovenator neimengguensis (Pei et al., 2022) "Short-snouted" troodontid being the earliest-diverging member of a clade consisting of all Late Cretaceous troodontids except for Almas ukhaa. Digital 2D Painting. #paleoart #sciart #paraves #sience #animal #portrait

Although Platyhystrix rugosus is more representated than taxa shown before, we need to remember that there were non Amniota tetrapods contemporary of pelicosaurs with convergent elongated neural spines. #paleovertebrateinktober #paleoart #sciart

Current Exoceotidae (flying fishes) show us the awesome aerodynamics of non tetrapod vertebrates, but is even more awesome that this adaptation happens sooner in other lineage, at Triassic with Thoracopteridae. Here the earliest species: Potanichthys xingyiensis #Paleoart #sciart

Sibyrhynchus denisoni, is in my subjective opinion one of the most remarkable Iniopterygiformes, but other ones could be in this position. Notice the lower jaw prognathism, althought is far to be exclusive, is unusual among Gnatostomata. #paleoart #paleovertebrateinktober

Chondrenchelyformes are weird Chondrichthyes with elongate bodies, and among them, Harpagofututor volsellorhinus has a exceptional record of soft tissue preserving evidence of colour patern and males with unusual articulated head ornamentation. #Paleoart #sciart #creataceous

Again subjectively, Hoelaspis angulata, from Devonian of current Norway, has one of the most notorious and striking heads even among Cephalaspidomorphi. #Paleoart #paleovertebrateinktober #inktober #osteostraci

Birkenia elegans, choose here among other anaspids, for the exotic shape of his dorsal ornamentation (excuse my subjectivity). Scale structure is mostly based on: bit.ly/2ZVIS7k #paleoart #inktober

Now it's time for a Hagfish, Myxinikela siroka, an early lamprey-like hagfish which provides an amazing point of view dating the origing of some modern Mixini characters: nasohypophyseal aperture, large velar cavity and cardinal heart. #paloeart #inktober #vertebrate #sciart

Paleovertebrate inktober with taxa that I personaly consider underrated. It's focused in vertebrates due to my specialization, but I avoided too many giant reptiles or megafauna. Hope you like it. #paleoart #sciart #paleontology #challenge

Hypothetical nest parasitism which could be represented for the discovery of 2 perinatal Byronosaurus jaffei (IGM 100/972; IGM 100/974) in a nest with oviraptorid eggs, inthe Late Cretaceous "Flaming Cliffs" of the Djadochta Formation, Mongolia. #paleoart #FossilFriday #sciart

Two Rhamphorhynchus depicted after a recently rewatch of Walking with Dinosaurs. Rhamphorhynchus muensteri is one of the best known pterosaurs, mainly due to the full remains of individuals which preserves even soft tissues. #paleoart #pterosaur #FossilFriday #sciart #jurassic

And for this #FossilFriday too, although you are probably tired of seen it in lot of movies, videogames, and every new version of the appearance of Struthiocephalus whaitsi based on new fossil remains and studies, here is another depiction of the Permian Tyrant King. #paleoart

#FossilFriday suposes an oportunity for those taxa that are so underrated even having a great commercial potential. This is the case of Spinosaurus, an unnoticed dinosaur that you probably didn't know. Please, give Spinosaurus a chance. #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #wildlife

Jinguofortis perplexus depicted in a hypothetical matting behaviour, wearing some leaves into its cupping plumage as a display, like some current birds uses "artificial" ornaments too. Final version has some digital edition. #paleoart #scientificillustration #nature #FossilFriday

Lets popularize Tsaagan mangas, a velociraptorine dromaeosaur that I've chosen for this traditional drawing practice. Although images shows current Ginkgo biloba leaves, the ones depicted corresponds with Gikgo apodes. #paleoart #dinosaur #theropod #sciart #nature #birdofprey

For this #mermay an old ink drawing of "a more epic version" of the Little Mermaid. I mostly make this work two years ago (I added a few changes, as some white ink strokes). #underthesea #littlemermaid #disney #creepy #epic #portrait #realistic #drawing #fish #fishman #gyojin

I've decided to update one of my previous previous Latenivenatryx digital life restorations after feedback from the troodontid recently made by @AdriSuchoBlaink (I recommend to follow him) #dinosaur #digital #past #scientificillustration #sciart #paleoart #Fossil #paleontology

I've just wanted to draw a juvenile Tyrannosaurus in a Cariama-hunting-like behaviour (last image). This time the picture isn't based after any evidence, but I find interesting when paleoart is used to speculate or compare. #paleoart #dinosaur #theropod #nature #trex #wildlife
