A crop from THE EXECUTIONER'S MEAL, one of 49 artworks I painted for THE SECRET LIVES OF DINOSAURS, written by Dr Dean Lomax - Palaeontologist. It features a Nothosaurus giganteus taking off the head of a Tanystropheus hydroides - yes, there is fossil evidence for this behaviour!

NEW PAINTING TIME!

Here is "Consuming the Fallen," commissioned by The Etches Collection. It features over 50 different species of marine reptiles, fishes, echinoderms, crustaceans, isopods, ammonites, belemnites, teuthoids, nautiloids, gastropods, brachiopods, bivalves, annelids, bryozoans, cnidaria, and microbial mats. There are also coprolites and burrows.

Our thanks to the young artist and sand art sculptor who sent into @EverythingDinosaur their wonderful plesiosaur inspired art.

We try our best to encourage an interest in prehistoric life and to support creativity.

Hopefully, @AdamStuartSmith an expert in the Plesiosauria approves 😀

The new CollectA Age of Dinosaurs Popular Tylosaurus figure has an incredible amount of detail.

Make it yours: https://everythingdinosaur.info/collecta-tylosaurus

✅ ram on the snout
✅ pterygoid teeth
✅ glottis and forked tongue
✅ hypocercal tail

It is a highly accurate representation of Tylosaurus proriger. The model reflects links to the Squamata.

Today's marine reptile artwork is a 2008 digital artwork of Corosaurus.

Today's marine reptile artwork is "Cretaceous Jaws," an acrylic painting from 2001; featuring Cretoxyrhina (top left), an adult Tylosaurus (top right), two Squalicorax (bottom right), and a juvenile Tylosaurus (middle left).

Remembering my friend Richard Forrest, a marine reptile expert, with a week or two of marine reptile artworks. I'll start with this old acrylic painting, called The Wreck, which I created for Richard back in 2004.

The first mural I ever painted (1997) was at the Dudley Museum & Art Gallery, for a temporary exhibition of marine Jurassic fossils. Part of the mural featured a pliosaur; I reworked the pliosaur pose in my 2009 "Leviathan" painting for The Etches Collection.

Two old acrylic paintings of ichthyosaurs exhibited in Birmingham (UK): the 1996 piece was my very first acrylic painting for a museum, and the 2016 piece was my very last acrylic painting for a museum (I started painting digitally).

Here are some zooms into my "Deep Blue Buffet" painting (Part 1), for The Etches Collection. It features a bunch of species from the Late Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay: a dead sauropod, "The #SeaRex" (probably #Pliosaurus), #Hybodus, #Hypsocormus, #Metriorhynchus, #Aspidorhynchus, and lots of #Allothrissops
