Two Megalosaurus, two hundred years apart. Graphite drawing on paper, 23x30.5cm. One is a reconstruction from the 1820s, when the dinosaur was first described: a massive, quadrupedal reptile—the fearsome ‘elephantine lizard,’ as Charles Dickens called it. The other, reflecting accumulated scientific data and informed conjecture, is a modern reconstruction: a bird-like, bipedal predator with the agility and grace of a living animal. Both are beautiful in their own ways, and I love them both.

I live! Here’s a Megalosuarus to celebrate

[jarvistheallosaurus]

Spicomellus doodle! New material for this early ankylosaur has been discovered showing that it had crazy spiked armor around its neck and I just had to draw this beast. What predator would even dare to mess with this ball of spines?

A time traveler has been attacked by a medium sized theropod dinosaur. As they bleed out they regret ever thinking of going to the Mesozoic.

A simple drawing where I wanted to capture how brutal a dinosaur attack might be. The closest thing you could compare it to today would be a shark attack. Most theropods have similar teeth to macropredator sharks. If you know about shark bites they are a bloody affair.

Jurassic June 2024 Day 11: Megalosaurus bucklandii

166 million years ago, a Megalosaurus holds up in its jaws a subadult Teleosaurus that it has just caught from the estuary waters of its home in what is now England’s Taynton Limestone Fomation while two Klobiodon rochei fly overhead
