For your Jurassic #paleoart needs, here are matoniacean fossils from the Yorkshire Flora of the UK. Attributed to Phlebopteris & Matonidium, respectively. Despite how fragmentary they are this is actually a good starting point by #paleobotany standards

Matoniacean ferns have made an appearance in the gorgeous #paleoart of Julius Csotonyi, with both his Borealopelta & Jurassic nest raid scene. They immediately break up the uniformity of fern ground cover & add interesting shapes to the composition.

Fossils related to Matonia are commonly assigned to the genus Phlebopteris. Their morphology is not identical but it's cool to know you're safe adding these expansive, dynamic shapes to your #paleoart of Jurassic ecosystems #paleobotany

And conversely, aardvark "claws" are approaching hoof status

Jealous!

Here's how they look "in context"

I use it all the time for things like textures. I'd also recommend the Nature Picture Library - photos are lower res, but a variety of photographers and they're usually wild/natural environment shots

Have you ever used Joel Sartore's/National Geographic's The Photo Ark? It's great for that kind of thing

Saw this on FB just now

Henry Sharpe's recent paper on exoparia is a great example of just how relevant histology can be to making #paleoart
