Rough sketch reconstruction of Muttaburrasaurus.
Made a rough sketch reconstructing the updated skull of Muttaburrasaurus. Repositioned some of the bones that were out of place, like the quadrate, maxilla and jaw.
New little animation of a couple polycotylids! They have such interesting faces - I wonder if they were doing something similar to modern river dolphins ecologically.

A pair of Dinosaurus hurchisonii lying down together. The one on the left is yawning.
Terrible (at being) Lizards
A pair of Dinosaurus hurchisonii lounging around and being lazy, oblivious to the dramatic irony of being a fragmentation therapsid named Dinosaurus.
If I had a nickel for every time I drew a female ending of an ancient species in her final days, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
A dying Hoploscaphites ammonite lies in the surf of a beach. The waves wash over her shell and she looks upward at the unseen sky.
But With A Whimper.
Some 64.5 million years ago, a dying Hoploscaphites has been washed up onto a beach in Denmark, unaware that she is the last ammonite on Earth. With her quiet and mundane passing, 300 million years of evolution will fade away with her.
Background photo taken by me in Fuerteventura, which as it happens was the filming location for the Lusotitan-focused episode of Walking With Dinosaurs 2025. This may have served as a major inspiration for this piece.
On a stretch of beach punctuated by few conifers, a female Lusotitan (right) stops and turns to look as a large male (left) approaches, stretching his neck to show off his height and bright display colours. Small pterosaurs fly from the backs of both giants.
Meeting Upon The Highway
The beachfront of Jurassic Portugal is often used as a highway by sauropods. Here a female Lusotitan is attempting to use it, but has caught the eye of another visitor; a large male, who begins displaying to her. Time will tell if she is interested.
2025 was a hell of a year! The year I got married and explored various corners of the world with the woman I am now lucky to call my wife. Full of many adventures! I look forward to seeing what 2026 will now hold.
Happy new year everyone!
Rose the Albertosaurus
Before we close out 2025, here is Walking with Dinosaurs thread number 4 (and a bit) – this time, The Pack, my personal favourite episode. It follows the young Albertosaurus Rose as she faces the trials and tribulations of the ancient Horseshoe Canyon– will she succeed? (1/60)
"It's Christmas, mah dudes."
"Ho ho HYAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"
Was lucky enough to spot a pair of them while there on my honeymoon
A brown and white Simoliophis and a bright orange Norisophis
The Kem Kem is home to a few basal snakes (with little baby legs!), mostly known from vertebrae. Most are quite small, but I've chosen two of the potentially larger ones - the terrestrial Norisophis, and the aquatic Simoliophis.

Result from the Mammoth Site #paleostream! This has been our first mammoth steppe formation stream, dwelling into some the classic giants of the Pleistocene. This site in South Dakota offered a unique opportunity is that is has so much stuff preserved in situ that we can...
Here's the new Compsognathus next to the original from 2018. The original version had the poor animal dead in the Solnhofen lagoon, but the ending to this Dinovember is a happier one, with it alive and well, and with a more natural-looking appearance.
A Compsognathus leaps into the air, its' left foot still connected to the ground.
Dinovember Glow Up #30 - Compsognathus
The final day of Dinovember, and we finish with a Compsognathus leaping into the air. It's been a lot of fun revisiting these prompts and I'm very happy with how these glow ups turned out. Happy Dinovember!

Brown Ornithocheirus with a yellow and white keeled crest.
For how famous the original Walking with Dinosaurs made it, Ornithocheirus is a very messy genus, with over 40 species assigned to it historically. Nowadays, only one species of Ornithocheirus remains, known from the UK and the Kem Kem (maybe!).

Here's the new Giganotosaurus next to the 2018 original. All the new carcharodontosaurid research since the original has hopefully translated well into this.
A Giganotosaurus charges towards the left, its' jaws wide open as it does so.
Dinovember Glow Up #29 - Giganotosaurus
Our penultimate glow up goes to Giganotosaurus, which we see here charging and bellowing in an aggressive threat display. Only one to go now...

Here's the new Tyrannosaurus next to the 2018 original. The original juvenile was based on 'Jane", but now that specimen is officially lumped into Nanotyrannus, the modern version is based largely on the 'Teen Rex' specimen.
A father Tyrannosaurus, on the right, touches snouts with his much smaller juvenile daughter.
Dinovember Glow Up #28 - Tyrannosaurus
Today we join a father Tyrannosaurus enjoying some quality bonding time with his juvenile daughter. Soon she will be old enough to go it alone, so best enjoy these moments while they can.

Here's the new Centrosaurus next to the 2018 original. The original accidentally used a subadult specimen as a basis for the older scarred male, something happily corrected in the glow up.
An older scarred Centrosaurus male charges from the left at a younger male, a flock of enantiornithines flying off the younger one's back
Dinovember Glow Up #27 - Centrosaurus
A more intense day today, as a pair of male Centrosaurus get into a fight, the flock of enantiornithines atop the younger male's back scattering.

Here's the new Deinonychus next to the 2018 original. Think it's safe to say that my attempts at feathers have greatly improved over the years.
A Deinonychus stands on one leg, licking blood off its' killing claw.
Dinovember Glow Up #26 - Deinonychus
Today gives us a Deinonychus cleaning off its' talons after a particularly messy feeding. The original piece used a lot of inspiration from birds of prey, and hopefully that's even more apparent now.

Here's the new Spinosaurus next to the 2018 original. Weird to think the original was done before the discovery of this animal's weird paddle tail.
Spinosaurus bounds along a riverbed, submerged up to its' shoulders in water, and moving to the left.
Dinovember Glow Up #25 - Spinosaurus
Today the legendary, and equally controversial, Spinosaurus patrols the waterways, punting along the bottom of a shallower river. Hopefully a nice intermediate between wading and swimming.

Here's the new Barosaurus next to the 2018 original. Yet another sauropod influenced by new data about the crazy and incredibly variable skin and scales now known from these guys.
A huge Barosaurus strides to the left, a flock of tiny-looking pterosaurs sitting on its' back and head as well as flying around it.
Dinovember Glow Up #24 - Barosaurus
Today we have a true colossus; an utterly enormous Barosaurus. Whether it is truly 50 metres long or not is up to you, but either way the pterosaurs around it look as small as insects.

Here is the new Parasaurolophus next to the 2018 original. Gone is the quite frankly bizarre soft-tissue extensions on the crest that were speculated around 2018.
