Two Denversaurus meet at sunset. Referenced from a photo I took in Montana this summer.
Denversaurus belongs to the ankylosaurian family nodosauridae. Unlike ankylosauridae, nodosaurids lack a tail club and many have shoulder spikes.

Can I drag your attention to the artworks by contemporary Czech palaeoartist, Vladimir Rimbala. His works are a perfect mix of modern science and retro composition (🧵)

Its finally out! Please Welcome Mirasaura! A new drepanosaur from the Middle Triassic of France.
@serpenillus.bsky.social made the press artwork but I couldn't hold back and had to do my own interpretation during break time... =)

One of the coolest cases of convergent evolution was just published yesterday, so I was inspired to draw them together - Temnodontosaurus trigonodon and Tyto alba.

A small herd of Murrabuttasaurus stop at a river on an early Cretaceous morning. The lead male and one of the females are occupied with mating while the other females are drinking.
