my prehistoric drawing

[frederico]

an unfortunate minmi falls prey to an adult, unsubscribed baryonychine spinosaurid. this is a very speculative drawing. based on very few, unsubscribed remains that points to the possibility of a spinosaurid species living in Australia. the bones are said to be from an individual only a bit over 2 or 3 meters, possibly juvenile. the one depicted here is far bigger, this shows a possible baryonyx sized adult showing predatory signs of a rather generalist diet.

i'm gonna call it irwinosaurus after the crocodile hunter just for the heck of it

a male rhamphosuchus emits a low frequency growl from his throat, causing the water around him to splash in the air. this behavior is known today from modern crocodilians in the form of courting behavior to attract females.

know by a few fragmentary remains of it's dentition and rostrum, rhamphosuchus was a large relative of false gharial. measuring 8-11 meters in length, it was a very large predatory animal, possibly being very generalist with it's diet. seeing this creature performing this display must be a real sight to see.

a sauroniops walks by, missing a finger as evident of a previous battle it had with a rival. sauroniops was a large carcharodontosaur known by two, uniquly shaped rests that would of been located over the orbitals. it is beleived it would of given this particular theropod a threatening stare.

8-11 meters of pure elegance and superiority. gavialis pachyrhynchus was a massive gharial species that lived in the early Miocene. this massive predator in my depiction is resting, with its gular glands open. and anatomical depiction quite underrepresented in crocodilian paleoart.
something about the gharial body plan just screams elegance to me. looking at this creature gives me a sense of inferiority. its like looking at an eagle who will always give you that serious, down to earth stare. gharial are the same way and just imagine what it would be like to stare into the eyes of a 11 meter long behemoth!

my first time using pen and ink techniques to create a drawing. the broad snouted caiman is a small crocodilian with large males measuring about 6 feet in length. these primarily nocturnal animals predate mostly on fish and invertebrates, but they are known to hunt readily on turtles. their thick, muscular jaws serve well in cracking open the shells of small turtles.

Wow... More gorgeous work...

a large siats taking a dip in water to cool off. interesting event, it was originally standing on land, but i messed up on the feet form and position really badly. not wanting to give up on this drawing and with no means of redoing the mistake i have made. i had to save this drawing somehow, so this came to mind

this 9- 12 meter neovenatorid was the top predator of its environment. it outsize all the coelurosaurs at the time and has suppressed the tyrants from taking higher positions.

this is a drawing i made during school. a changyraptor ripping at it's unfortunate reptilian prey.by far, this theropod is the largest four winged theropod discovered. measuring 4 feet in length, it was almost twice the length of microraptor. whats also noticable is the elongated tail feathers on the tail. such structures could of aided in airial manuverability, or even courtship

confuciusornis is a genus of pigeon- sized primative avian theropods that lived in china during the early cretaceous. most noticable for it's elogated tail feathers that stretch out longer them it's entire body. it is also known for it's comparativly large manus claws. which are most likely used for climbing
