I seem to have acquired some new followers recently (hello and thank you), so I should introduce myself to those who don’t know me.
I’m Andy, I live in Wales, and I draw tiny dragons for myself and big dinosaurs for other people.

@albertonykus.bsky.social's PhD thesis. Among the most detailed investigations of phylogenetic signal in the avian skeleton. Bravo, Albert! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1....

I'm a paleo-illustrator so if you like fossils and extinct species stick around!
First up : Portunatasaurus chasing fish in a wave during the late Cretaceous in what is now Croatia.
It's a potential early relative to the much bigger mosasaurs!
