A New Age of Reptiles: Torpedo Crocs Marine reptile diversity in the New Age of Reptiles eclipses any time in Earth's history, with thousands of species documented to date across dozens of lineages. The crocodylids, early colonisers of the Cenozoic seas, are among the most spectacular. (1/14)
A New Age of Reptiles: African Rainforests As in our timeline, the equatorial region of Africa supports a near-endless tangle of tropical forest, steaming swamps, and great rivers splintering into innumerable tributaries. These hotbeds of evolution are home to a tremendous diversity of life. (1/13)
A New Age of Reptiles: Broadley's Bullcroc and Common Scrapeshell Isolated from other continents for much of the Cenozoic, South America has developed a degree of biotic endemism only outdone by Australia. In the scrubland and semidesert in the continent's south, giant reptiles abound. (1/13)
A very tiny sneak peak of tomorrow’s New Age of Reptiles thread, featuring art by @manusuchus.bsky.social! This is going to be a special one with some of my very favourite animals from the project.
A New Age of Reptiles: The Banded Alliguana One of the most commonly sighted tetrapods in the waterways and flooded forests of the Gulf Coast, the Banded Alliguana is part of a great radiation of plant-eating alligatorines found throughout the Americas in the New Age of Reptiles. (1/10)
A New Age of Reptiles: The Raja Gharial In a world where whales and other marine mammals never developed, reptiles have repeatedly taken to the seas with great success. These oceanic invasions have produced a staggering diversity of marine reptiles rivaling that of the preceding Mesozoic. (1/13)
And last but not least, an enormous thank you to @manusuchus.bsky.social for helping me bring this concept to life. Expect to see his work as a regular fixture of A New Age of Reptiles going forward. Give him a follow so you don't miss out on any of his excellent palaeoart! (13/13)

#WorldCrocodileDay Here is a little preview of something that, I hope, will end up contributing to the conservation of my favorite species, the orinoco crocodile. looking forward to sharing more about this soon ;)
Something for the #worldcrocodileday 🐊💚🐊 The orinoco crocodile is one of my favorite species but also extremelly endangered, its estimated that less than 100 individuals remain in the wild. It hurts my soul to its core seeing these species on the brink of extinction... #digitalart #crocodiles

The image above is just a preview render, but to give you some expectation of how the physical print will look, here's the prints I sold at last year's TetZooCon. Both the Tyrannosaurus and Diplodocus will be available in 1/40 scale.
- Endangered Species Day - As I do every year, Ive tried to make a small contribution to this day: My favorite animal in the world, the critically endangered Caimán llanero (C. intermedius), a species to which I am determined to dedicate my life to conserve.

Pretty cool paper. Basically, "Gharialis" curvirostris was named some 150 years ago by Richard Lydekker based on fossil material from the Bugti Hills of Pakistan and has very much been stuck in this state since then.
Armin Reindl@arminreindl.bsky.social · last yr.That's two down. Both "Gharialis" curvirostris and "Gharialis" pachyrhynchus have been given a dedicated taxonomic overhaul. The results? "G." curvirostris is now Pseudogavialis and "G." pachyrhynchus has become a new species of Rhamphosuchus khttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/spp2.70010
- Barinasuchus arveloi - Probably the last large Sebecidae to inhabit this world before the extinction of the family during late Miocene (Or even during early Pliocene if we take into consideration possible relict island populations in the Antilles).
- COMISSIONS - Although I have been making occasional commissions for years, I decided it was time to make it “official” with a fixed price guideline, open to anyone who wants to hire me.
Here's an update on my Deinosuchus skeletal. Nearly all the bones are done, just gotta finish the skull detailing and the osteoderms. Also the back leg. But theoretically in the home stretch. #paleontology #Deinosuchus #paleoart

#paleoart commission: the bulkiest, heaviest and possibly even longest crocodilian with the strongest biteforce in animal kingdom: the giant miocene caiman Purussaurus!
Voay robustus! a recently extinct species of crocodile from Madagascar, most of its remains were found in a "sub-fossil" state, where not enough time has passed for them to fossilize suggested by @convictclaude.bsky.social! who surely apreciates me calling it a 𝙃𝙤𝙧𝙣𝙮 𝘾𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙙𝙞𝙡𝙚
