#throwbackthursday: #Dunkleosteus ruled Cleveland's ancient seas 360 million years ago. Now it resides safely in the Vertebrate Paleontology Collections @gocmnh. . #cle #tbt #museumsmatter #museumcollections #museumed #themoreyouknow🌈 #fish #arthrodire #notashark #armored #fossil #fossilfish #scicomm #dang #big #scary #predator #ilovemuseums #cleveland #cmnh #thisiscle (at Cleveland Museum of Natural History)

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology…

Here's a second painting of the Severn Estuary, this time during the Early Carboniferous. Called "Primeval Clevedon Bay," it features fish, crinoids, othrocones, corals, gastropods, and brachiopods. This painting was the first winner of the Marsh Palaeoart Award.

Some zooms into my "Primeval Clevedon Bay" painting (2022), depicting fish, crinoids, othrocones, corals, gastropods, and brachiopods in an Early Carboniferous shallow sea. This painting was the first winner of the Marsh Palaeoart Award.
