Hammerschmiede is a incredibly diverse site, preserving fossils that were deposited in a small stream and a medium sized river. It's biggest claim to fame is the discovery of Danuvius, a potentially already bipedal primate. Besides this the site has fascinating faunal composition. The seasonally dry, open woodland of Hammerschmiede has one of the largest carnivoran guilds, Chalicotheriinae and Schizotheriinae overlapping, tons of durophagous snapping turtles, the youngest choristoderes, giant cranes, basal pandas and two species of beaver.

i wanted to start drawing dinosaurs so i did some anatomy studies for dromaeosaurids and drew this fella to put everything i learned to test

I got tired of working on this and figured it was time to let the Dino community tear it apart.

This is my first attempt at a life restoration. I primarily looked at photo references of the bone structure of Kronosaurus and tried to take the 2009 thesis by Colin McHenry into account. How did I do?

Not one of my best works but uh…. it turned out fine! Please give me critiques and tips

This model was 3d printed and painted by me. Emphasis was on realism while maintaining visual interest. 

What do y'all think?

I've kinda based its colors in the first Land Before Time's Velociraptor (yes it is Velociraptor look at the model sheets)

Remaking my original piece i did last year and giving it more educational poster looks. Its Watercolour + Colored Pencil and little bit of sharpie to draw the outline.

And then i add the Info on Canva and make all of the things look better there.

I did this piece as a hobby but with my unemployment im thinking to sell it as an Art Print, but didnt know how where to start.

For my project @paleo.sur where I draw dinosaurs from Southamerica mostly.
Thanks for watching ^^

Allosaurus sketch by me

700k years ago, we are in the cold tundra of Europe. Today is the mating season and a male adult cave bear is there looking for a mate. He is in heat and in need to pass on his genes. But he doesn't find any mate. He finally senses a smell. It seems that he's finally found a mating option but she's not a female of his species. Not so far away three male brown bears are competing over a female. The stronger and more aggressive male will be the one who will access her. But to their surprise they meet an unexpected rival. (Hiding from the woods) The male cave bear found the female brown bear. He's taking a risk of interbreeding with a interspecies female but he has no other options. (Shows up to the brown bears) The courtship is being inrerrupted by an unexpected rival. The male cave bear is larger, stronger and more aggressive than the three brown bear males. (Stands up on two legs and intimidates his rivals off) He won the competition. The female brown bear is captivated by his strength. Brown bears and cave bears may be species who diverged from each other around 1mya but noneless they can still successfully admix with each other. For the male brown bears this wasn't a lucky day. One day the cave bear will vanish and be replaced by his smaller Asian relative, but his legacy will still live on the latter. Today 0.9-2.4% of cave bear DNA is present in modern-day brown bears and polar bears.

In this drawing, the iguanodont fossil found with the baryonix fossils was taken as a reference, with the drawing telling a little story about how it happened.
