A colored-pencil drawing of a scene in a dense meadow, taking place in France during the late Pliocene. A Eucyon adoxus (a coyote-like canine) has stumbled upon the ground nest of an ancient partridge, Palaeocryptonyx donnezani. The mother is seen flying away in the background as the Eucyon has its nose nearly touching the six eggs in the nest, looking down at them. Tall green grass surrounds the nest and the sky is clear and bright blue.

In a lush meadow in France during the late Pliocene, a very fortunate Eucyon adoxus has stumbled upon a nest of Palaeocryptonyx donnezani, an ancient partridge. As the hen flies away in a panic, the canine has a clutch of six eggs all to itself for breakfast. #sciart #paleoart #pliocene #cenozoic

Four colored-pencil drawings of prehistoric animals, arranged roughly into quadrants on a piece of paper. In the top left is the ichthyosaur Xiphodracon, with a very long and slender snout. In the top right is the generic-mammal-ever Ectoconus, leaping away from whatever ripped the tip of its tail off. In the bottom left is the early mammaliamorph Morganucodon, curled around itself as it sleeps. In the bottom right is the bilaterally-symmetric early echinoderm Atlascystis, drawn life-size at just under 1 cm wide at the front end and around 1 cm in length.

Tonight’s flocking #Paleostream sketches: the ichthyosaur Xiphodracon, the early Paleocene mammal Ectoconus, the mammaliamorph Morganucodon, and the Cambrian echinoderm Atlascystis (drawn life-size). #paleoart #sciart #mesozoic #cenozoic #paleozoic

I was kinda hopping Minos would at least put up a bit of a fight within the tournament...

Ah well. Twas fun being there though :)

My sketch of an Andrewsarchus, I tried to make it a bit creepy tho.

This Andrewsarchus sketch I did while I was bored.

My restoration of what an entelodon might have looked like, added extra flesh similar to hippos for a bit.

Tried doing a proper entelodon skull study at work.

A colored-pencil drawing of the head and neck of two prehistoric carnivorans, looking at each other in lateral view from the left and right sides of the paper. The background is a faded black-and-white sketch of western North America and eastern Asia as they may have been during the late Eocene, connected at Beringia. On the left is Lonchocyon qiui, a caniform of some sort that is only known from a mandible. Here it is a mix of grey, dark brown, and yellowish markings. On the right is Eusmilus adelos, a lion-sized Nimravid feliform known from most of a skull and skeleton. Here it is drawn an overall sandy color with rusty brown highlights.

Around the Eocene/Oligocene boundary, some of the the first massive carnivorans roamed the earth. Lonchocyon qiui was a large, enigmatic caniform that lived in Mongolia, and Eusmilus adelos was a lion-sized Nimravid feliform that lived in Wyoming. #sciart #paleoart #cenozoic #mammals

Croquis d'un crâne sans la mâchoire d'archaeotherium ingens vu au musée d'histoire naturelle de Toulouse, c'était un mammifère carnivore qui avait vécu dans l'Oligocène et l'Éocène, au cénozoïque, il y a 30 millions d'années.

A colored-pencil drawing of the prehistoric horse Calippus regulus in a bounding pose. Its body is angled downward, having nearly finished a jump, with one front foot contacting the ground while the other is splayed out just in front of it. One hind leg is fully bent while the other is mostly extended, and the entire hindquarters are raised in the air along with its fluffy tail. Its face is very short and stocky for a horse. It has a short mane of fur on its neck, smaller manes on its snout and lower jaw, and a larger mane on its chest. The four-mane hairdo is inspired by that of Black Wildebeest. It is overall grey and tan in coloration, with a bendy black stripe along its side.

The little horse Calippus regulus, with four manes! Members of the genus Calippus were square-snouted grazers in the tribe Protohippini that lived across North/Central America during the #Miocene. The hair is speculative, inspired by Black Wildebeest. #paleoart #sciart #YearoftheHorse #cenozoic

The geology of the #NorwegianSea began to form 60 million years ago in the early #Cenozoic, as rifting led to the eruption of #mafic oceanic crust, separating #Scandinavia and #Greenland.

I present to you all, the Minotherium Primus, AKA, "Minos"

A brutish fighter who prefers living within the Plains, and Parries.

He is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

Smilodon fatalis vs Camelops hesternus

First illustration of 2026!
The sabertooth cat(Smilodon fatalis) pins the head and neck of a western camel (Camelops hesternus). It doesn't need to immobilize the entire body of this large prey to finish it off with its fearsome canines

Front view of a Columbian mammoth fossil skull displayed in a museum case, showing the massive domed cranium, large nasal opening, and a long, curved tusk resting in front of the skull.

Happy #FossilFriday! The Columbian #Mammoth was one of the largest species of mammoth to walk the Earth and roamed North America until ~11,000 years ago. The skull of one of these giants (#MOR604) is on display in the #Cenozoic Corridor at #MOR.

The #peabodymuseum also has a gallery dedicated ro rhe #Cenozoic era #paleontology
