A piece I originally did for the Saurian artbook. It wasnt accepted, because despite its high resemblence of a snapping turtle, it got recently suggested that it may have been a full on land-turtle. Basilemys observing its potential prey in a shallow riverbed. All animals visible here lived during the cretacious period and have been found in the hell creek formation. Basilemys (turtle) Barbourula (frog) Belonostomus (fish) Pleurobema (mussels)
