Thank you! Glad I got the expert approval.

I think they were more concerned with trying to suck on the tank wall lol

Hell nah no chondrichthyes in this house 😤

I try to get a skeleton sketch or two done any time I go to the AMNH. It's a great opportunity to practice life drawings.

The trike's head is also very triangular, narrow towards the front and rly thick at the back. Bit of a strange model for sure.

Disclaimer: this skeletal is far from perfect. Good reconstructions for most fish, especially extinct ones, are few and far between, so I tried my best to piece it together from the few references I had. That being said, I'm quite happy with how it turned out!

lizardfish and lancetfish. Here I depicted the fish's skull, specifically highlighting its jaw bones. Aulopiforms, both extinct and extant, have very diverse arrangements of these gape-forming bones. They tell us a lot about the evolutionary development of their feeding methods.
