The Jinju Formation, South Korea. 110 million years ago. Image by Palaeotaku->. Oddly enough, the only one here I'm really familiar with is that bipedal pseudosuchian trackmaker. No idea who the dinosaurs or pterosaurs are. EDIT: I asked him myself. The dinosaurs are only known from tracks.  |

This piece is called "Bison antiquus" by Rudl Mergleman->. I presume the B. antiquus is the fossil in this painting, while its modern descendant looks on.  |

Wayne Barlowe is probably best known for his science fiction and fantasy paintings, but he also made a fair amount of paleoart back in the day. Though very often dated nowadays, his paintings still have a life-like feel and otherworldly ambience that's hard to explain and that I don't think any other paleoartist has replicated. Here are a couple that I think are relatively accurate. Still not 100% perfect (e.g. some dinosaurs with pronated hands), but in terms of accuracy I think they aged better than the rest. Iguanodon.  Leptoceratops.  Stegosaurus.  Ceratosaurus.  |

A male Caviramus raping the corpse of a rival it killed in a duel. Done by Elia Smaniotto and based off of the same behavior recorded in ducks. Aside from obviously inaccurate pop-culture depictions of pterosaurs, it's nice to see pterosaurs doing some brutal things in paleoart.  |

Davide Bonadonna recently created a new piece with fighting Edmontosaurus. This is from the National Geographic website; I could post the image here but can't access the full webpage because it requires subscription.  Collaborating with Bonadonna was Fabio Manucci, who created computer models with the same color scheme. www.artstation.com/artwork/d8QVXAvideo.nationalgeographic.com/video/science/00000174-7e44-daeb-a7fc-7f47f34f0000I have a couple complaints, namely the lack of midline feature scales and something about the rhamphotheca doesn't seem quite right, moreso in the video (the lower beak's denticles seem to be missing too). Other than that, they look nice. |
