Zhongjianosaurus yangi, Yutyrannus huali, Hongshanornis longicresta and Gegepterus changi

New art is arrived !

A large Yutyrannus is being cleaned up by a group of Hongshanornis. A curious Gegepterus approaches.
In the foreground, a Zhongjianosaurus seems interested in the small birds.

New dinosaur art is here !

This Sinornithosaurus swooped down on its prey, a female Caudipteryx zoui, and pinned it to the ground.

Note: Some of the Jehol Biota may also occur in the Korean Peninsula and further West towards Mongolia, but the best documented locations are all in NE China

The #JeholBiota as defined by Pan et al (2013) spans ~10 million years of the Early Cretaceous (~130-120mya). Comprising of the #Yixian, #Jiufotang, and #Huajiying formations, the Jehol Biota is often spectacularly preserved on account of shallow water & volcanic ash preservation...

Zhongjianosaurus yangi

Zhongjianosaurus yangi adult nourishes his little hidden in their nest, at the top of a tree. This is my coverage for my book project on the Yixian formation.

I finally finished the heads of the 11 main animals of my Yixian book project. Later I will post drawings of animals with or without decoration (1/3)
#paleoart #sciart #dinosaur #yixian #feathers

Sinornithosaurus millenii, a small microraptora of 1.2 m. Made on A3 in colored pencils.
This is my first finished drawing in colored pencils.

Very speculative Incisivosaurus gauthieri with notably a parrot tongue. It is an animal known for its large incisors. Its jaw was powerful enough to be able to break seeds.
Done in A3 with color pencils.

Hello, this is my first post on BlueSky.
Welcome to Zhongjianosaurus's head in color pencils and black markers, from my Yixian Project Book.
It's a little Microraptora with very long legs.

Almost late with today's #species, but here's #Ginkgo #apodes! Unlike most species I've spoken about, these #leaves have associated reproductive organs (hence the genus name). These leaves were found in the #Yixian Formation and are some of the smallest of any #Ginkgoales taxa.
