#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 ;)

- 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.

Barinasuchus arveloi (Poster version)
- 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).

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.

- Bretesuchus bonapartei -
A swarm of flies hover around the dragon's jaws, attracted by the smell of decaying flesh that accompanies him.
The intense heat and the annoyance of the insistent insects, ends the patience of the old king.

- Doratodon ibericus -
A *possible* sebecosuchian from the Sierra Perenchiza Formation (Campanian), Valencia.
The presence of this genus in Europe during the Late Cretaceous represents a key element in tracing the early diversification chronology of Sebecosuchia.

The nearly complete skull of Dentaneosuchus was damaged during extraction, resulting in the scattering of material in the debris. Apparently, something very similar happened with Barinasuchus, an “almost complete” specimen that was destroyed during a road construction.

0. Miguel, háblame en español xdd😂
1. Muchas graciass
2. Espero que ese estudio vaya firmado por ti ;)
3. También pensé que el cráneo podía estar algo deformado por la presión, pero decidí hacer esta perspectiva para que fuera más similar a la foto original ⬇️

Specimen PVL 6386, a Sebecidae indet. from the Lumbrera Formation (Eocene, Argentina). A nearly complete articulated skull with jaws and three cervical vertebrae in exceptional state of preservation.
Traditionally referred to as cf. Sebecus sp. but possibly closer to other genera.

- Tewkensuchus salamanquensis -
A fast 3D sketch to represent a very interesting new genre. Apart from the characteristic postcranial crest, it is a Patagonian sebecid that is phylogenetically closer to European forms than to South American ones. How crazy that is.

- Ogresuchus furatus -
The oldest known sebecidae. Discovered less than half a meter from a titanosaur nest, it was approximately 1 meter in length. Humble beginnings for a lineage that would give rise to true monsters.

Finally everything is ready to reveal my project for this year: Ive decided to open a blog to continue talking about crocodilians and their extinct relatives. All my illustrations and knowledge on the subject will be uploaded there.

Looking forward to print and paint it to bring him to life.

This post reminded me of an old sketch I made quite some time ago about a hypothetical encounter between the two species. It never quite convinced me, but better to share it than to let it collect dust.
