Can't remember if this idea has been done before, it's a sphaerocone ammonite with a speculative pair of tentacles that tear off easily, used as distraction for predators. #paleoart #Ammonite #ammonites #illustration #speculativeevolution #cephalopod #animalart
I've just managed watched @TheVidax's fantastic talk on restoring ammonites, from last weekend's #PaleostreamCon. So here're a few #ammonites! #paleoart #paleostream #paleontology
A young Tylosaurus makes a miscalculation in prey choice. A Parapuzosia this big won't let itself become an easy meal. #ammonites #paleoart
New year, new job, new house and the first of many new ammonites. Maximites is the smallest known genus of ammonite. This tiny carboniferous cephalopod grew to only 10mm in diameter. #paleoart #palaeoart #paleontology #ammonites #cephalopods #Blender3d #digitalart #squid
This year's #ammonites In 2023 I'm planning to make a new ammonite a month. If any cephalopod connoisseurs want to hit me with their favourite ammonites and extant cephalopods it would be much appreciated for inspiration. #paleoart #cephalopods #squid #octopus #blender #kraken
I dreamed of a Dumbo ammonite so had to make it reality. Arcestes forages on the seafloor. #paleoart #ammonites #paleontology #blender #triassic #cephalopods #3dart #dumbooctopus
Ancient Kraken - Weighing over a tonne with a shell up to 3.5m in diameter, Parapuzosia seppenradensis is the largest invertebrate to have ever lived. Had great fun modelling this in blender! #paleoart #ammonites #paleontology #digitalart
More Eupachydiscus body plans made for the LA Underwater exhibit and for #Squidtember. Really grew to appreciate #ammonites after working on these. #paleoart #SciArt #paleontology

Eupachydiscus waits for a school of smaller Metaplacenticeras to come within striking distance. Piece commissioned by Austin Hendy from NHMLA depicting the late Cretaceous Tuna Canyon formation of the Santa Monica mountains. #paleoart #scicomm #ammonites
