Devonion fishies Elpistostege (close relative of the famous Tiktaalik) and couple of bothriolepis swimming by. Needs updating but still thinking this is one of my better paintings I have done

Movies I watched in 2025 as tarot cards: 1. Better Man

Graphic tarot card 'The Hanged Man' depicting the black silhouette of an ape Robbie Williams hanging by his feet from a rope with a microphone in his hand. He is lit by a yellow spotlight and the rope is close to breaking.

sometimes you have to find a <1mm tooth on a carpeted floor for enrichment purposes and definitely not on accident. anyway i found it.

FINALLY The Locked Tomb Series this year...the books of all time IMO

Nona from the Locked Tomb Series- a woman with long dark hair in braids, brown skin, and yellow eyes looking up and to the left. Grey background, messy drawing of the woman from the chest up with a though bubble with a picture of a jellyfish inside.

Gideon Nav from the locked tomb series- a messy portrait from the neck up of a woman with short ginger hair and yellow eyes looking to the right with a disgruntled expression

This is the face of a shark! I've stained the mineralised tissues to show that their teeth and scales are both made of the same enamel-like material 🦈 🦷 🧪

Share your blue art!!! incredibly hard choices for me because basically all i draw are water pieces!!! 😭😭😭 #paleoart #sciart #paleostream

a young Shucaris chases two Erjiecaris in the shallows of the Maotianshan Shales, kicking up fine muddy sediment in the process. it readies its masticatory elements anticipating a meal

Shucaris is a kind of radiodont of uncertain taxonomic affinity, radiodonts are ancient soft bodied relatives of arthropods with stalked eyes, many flaps on their sides for swimming, a cone of stiff rods for a mouth, and long grasping appendages on their front with spikes to grap prey. Shucaris is special as it preserves special appendages used for breaking down prey that not all radiodonts had

Erjiecaris is a small arthropod with a thin shell on its back and a long tail, almost like a shrimp with a straight tail

a Gorgonichthys swims by the surface of the ocean, a large iceberg floats by, dropstones sink as the large chunk of ice gradually melts. The image shows a little view from above the waterline, showing the tip of the iceberg and three snowcapped peaks, the leftmost two have a glacier between them.

Gorgonichthys is an armoured fish called a placoderm, a group of powerful predatory fish that have bony armour on their heads, and large toothplates for biting through their prey. Gorgonichthys' lower toothplates are so long that the top of their jaws have holes which the longest points slot into once the mouth is closed.

a Xenodens darts back under the surface of the water after taking a breath, it sticks out its tongue to smell the surrounding water

Xenodens is a small mosasaur (marine reptiles related to monitor lizards and snakes) known from just a jaw bone, its teeth were dogfish-like (tightly packed, with wide but thin teeth) used for slicing through flesh rather than just biting and holding, or crushing like its close relatives

a Clidastes disturbs the surface of the ocean while swimming, it sticks its tongue out to smell the surrounidng water

Clidastes is a kind of mosasaur (marine reptiles related to monitor lizards and snakes) that is very long compared to others, with relatively small fins

Petite Paleoartist | Sauriazoicillus @ppaleoartist.bsky.social · 2y ago

Petite Paleoartist | Sauriazoicillus@ppaleoartist.bsky.social · 2y ago

i drew Shucaris again! now properly showing off the GLS's and other masticatory elements + properly drawing the strengthening rays and frontal appendages big thanks to @/prehistorica.bsky.social for the help with this

Such a stroke of genius to pick a trilobite as the High Priestess IMHO. I also loved the Fool, the Hermit, the Lovers, the Star, the Sun, and the Wheel of Fortune, to mention a few. Some of my favorites:

2. The High Preistess - Trilobite

Emil Herbert @herbertologist.bsky.social · 2y ago

Time to import my old #paleoart over. Thought I'd start with my fav project that is now 3 years old (maybe its time for a redo). starting off with 0. The Fool aka Tiktaalik

tarot card of the fool with tiktaalik swimming towards the shore

Emil Herbert @herbertologist.bsky.social · 2y ago
