Scene depicting aquatic and terrestrial life in the Devonian. 

On the right, an Ichthyostega with a jet black body and white cream underbelly lies on the shore of an ancient stream surrounded by horsetails, clubmosses and other primitive vegetation. In the water below, three armored fish- Pterichthyodes (yellowish green fish, left), Coccosteus (dark purple fish, middle), Cephalaspis (brick brown fish, right)- forage along the muddy river floor.

Two page spread of some out-dated depictions of the sauropod dinosaurs Brachiosaurus and Brontosaurus lumbering around and foraging in a Jurassic swamp. To the left, a uniformly bright green Brachiosaurus lifts its head and neck out of the water while devouring water plants. On the right, two grey, slope-backed brontosaurs make their way along the bank of the lake/lagoon, the one in the foreground trudging away with its tail dragging on the ground and leaving deep footprints. Above them in the sunset colored sky, two long-tailed pterosaurs glide through the air.

Scene of dinosaurs from the Late Jurassic of North America interacting with one another as they forage and hunt on a flat, dry plain as a dark thunder storm apporaches. A green and striped Allosaurus (front) rises to its full height as it prepares for a hunt. In the background to the left, two grey Brachiosaurus lumber about while two red plated Stegosaurus with eight spikes on their tails browse on conifers and ferns. Off to the right, three blue Camarasaurus amble along towards the stands of vegetation. 

 This scene is meant to depict the then new concept that dinosaurs were warm-blooded and active, rather than cold-blooded and slow.

Panoramic scene depicting a tropical shoreline at the end of the Cretaceous period, sparsely populated with animals, symbolizing the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs (the cause of which is left ambiguous/unclear here due to then-ongoing debate), as it was understood at the time of publication in 1987. 

Featured species include:

Vintage Dinosaur Art: Dinosaurs (Home Reference Library) In my further quest to avoid the DK Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Life from 2001 (which I do now own, at least), here’s another book from around that time – Dinosaurs, published…

I dunno if Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs is on Bluesky, yet, but they're a great group of #paleoartists who write always insightful and often hilarious commentary on #dinosaur #art, especially #vintagedinosaurart.

Scene of a family of Hypacrosaurus (foreground) running through a pond to escape two pursuing tyrannosaurids (background.) A large male with a prominent head crest (center left) races forward on all fours. Behind him, an adult female with a shorter crest ushers two juveniles towards the safety of the deeper forest. On the lower right corner, two small shrew-like mammals scamper away as the larger dinosaurs thunder towards them.

Scene of a pair of Velociraptor mongoliensis moving through a lush Cretaceous forest along the bank of a shallow stream. One sprints along with its hands tucked towards the body as it makes graceful, proud strides. The other walks more forcefully while bearing its teeth.
