Meet the mighty Cooyoo australis: A large predatory #teleost that ruled the #Cretaceous Eromanga Sea of Australia.
With its bulldog-like skull and large conical teeth, it reached up to 3 meters in length, making it the largest known elopiform from these waters.⚡️
Think this is pretty much finished - the big lamniform #shark Cretoxyrhina attacking the #mosasaur Clidastes. This is a scene from the Late #Cretaceous Niobrara Formation. #palaeoart

A black Austroraptor with a red underbelly in the middle of a shallow lake with its feet underwater in an open plane of view.
It's been a while since I posted any of my art, huh? Let's change that, here's an Austroraptor.
This is the first time I've tried to draw this water effect.

Happy #FossilFriday! The seaway that covered much of North America in the #Cretaceous was filled with giant carnivorous #reptiles. #Mosasaurus (#MOR006) and other mosasaurs had a second set of #teeth on the roof of the mouth that helped hold struggling prey.

This species, known from mid-Cretaceous French amber, is still of unclear affinities, and may represent a basal extinct lineage of cheliferoid pseudoscorpions. Size : unknown, maybe 5-ish mm of body length Time period : Late Cretaceous Paleoart speculativometer : Some Missing parts The animal drawn is a pseudoscorpion, an animal looking a bit like a mix of a mite body type with the pincers of a scorpion
What time is it? It’s #Cheliceratime & #Fossilfriday!
