A few zooms into my painting of Haootia (Stauroza), commissioned by McIlroy et al for their 2022 paper. The Haootia fossils from Newfoundland (Late Ediacaran, 550Ma), Canada, have the oldest known evidence for animal muscle tissue. Also in this picture is a reclining Charnia and some Parviscopa.

In 2022 I worked with McIlroy et al on a new description of Haootia (Stauroza), from the Late Ediacaran (550 Ma). The Haootia fossils from Newfoundland, Canada, have the oldest known evidence for animal muscle tissue. Also in this picture is a reclining Charnia and Parviscopa.

A few more of my vignettes (rendered in 2021) for the book, called SEA MAMMALS, by Annalisa Berta. Here are Behemotops and Odobenocetops – two amazing weirdos.

In 2021 I created a bunch of vignettes for a new book, called SEA MAMMALS, by Annalisa Berta. Here are Livyatan and the tuskless walrus, Titanotaria (not to scale).

In 2021 I created a bunch of vignettes for a new book, called SEA MAMMALS, by Annalisa Berta. They were quick to produce and a fun change from my big Mesozoic landscapes, which take weeks to complete. The animals here are not to scale.

A CLOSER LOOK AT EDIACARAN MISTAKEN POINT (565Ma), part 2 of 2.

MUN Paleobiology (@dmcediacaran.bsky.social) are redescribing these wonderful creatures & some are now reclining! We've been working on this composition for 4 years.

WELCOME TO EDIACARAN MISTAKEN POINT (565Ma).

If you thought this environment was like a miniature forest of sea pens, think again. The palaeontologists at MUNPaleobiology are redescribing these wonderful creatures and some, such as Charnia, are now reclining!
