Paleoart, May 3, 2019. The title was 'You were an Isle unto Thyself', for obvious reasons, playing off a song from an album which, back then, was not nearly as big among the kids as it is now. Scary. I drown in a sea of children.
'Around 212 million years ago. The Norian stage of the Triassic. Near what is now Sikanni Chief, British Columbia, Canada.
A huge Shastasaurus sikanniensis cruises across the ocean's surface, expelling salt and water from its nostrils, taking a respite from the deep while watching for potential invertebrate prey. It is joined by a pair of Macgowania janiceps, riding in the currents of the giant, chasing after the puny Mesohimavatites columbianus ammonites in its wake.'
#eart from the heart#paleoart#ammonites#shastasaurus#macgowania#This had been posted (with credit) before by one 'ancientmarinereptiles'#and I was actually really touched they thought my art was a good representation of the animal#But now I find they have deactivated. If you are out there you brought me a little 1 cm grin. Peace and Love#2019#pardonet formation
