Smith & Sidor present a new shuvosaurid, Sonselasuchus cedrus, from the Late #Triassic Chinle Fm. in Arizona 🇺🇸 & a mass assemblage of at least 36 individuals. Seems these crocodile-line ‘dinosaur mimics’ were quite abundant! ⬇️

Digital Illustration of a tanystropheus floating over a purple to blue gradient rectangle on an off white background. Tanystropheus is a long-necked triassic reptile, with short, splayed legs and a disproportionately long neck. The drawing is stylized, putting bends in the longer extremities. Its head faces left, its body gathered beneath it to form a reverse C shape. In the bottom right corner is a watermark reading: “LEAVES AND INKS”

I should've made the neck longer but I'm a amateur, this challenge is a learning experience for me :)

Painterly digital illustration of a mammal-like gomphodontian approaching the entrance of its burrow sharing an uneasy stare with a Procompsognathus or other closely related coelophysid theropod dinosaur resting on a fallen log just outside of the burrow with various Triassic plants in the morning light.
Triassic artwork for James Stryker's paleoart project featuring a cynognathian cynodont and a coelophysid dinosaur.

I think this is the hardest creature I've ever made.
It's really hard to fix the weight of the jaws and the teeth when the jaws closed.

Finished the texture.
Sharovipteryx, the 20cm Triassic glider. It could glide with its legs to avoid predators and hunt insects.
This may be my favorite species from Triassic.

#Dicynodonts were an ancient & successful group of #synapsids that lived from the middle of the #Permian to the end of the #Triassic. They were among the largest terrestrial animals of their time, only really surpassed when large dinosaurs began to evolve in the Late Triassic.

This specimen was found on a 1964 expedition that took BYU's James A. Jensen & a Harvard team of paleontologists to the #Ischigualasto Formation of Argentina. This formation has yielded an amazing array of animal & plant fossils from the #Carnian stage of the Late #Triassic (237-227 Ma).

Presenting a skull of the #dicynodont, Ischigualastia, at the BYU Museum of Paleontology in Provo, Utah 🇺🇸 for this #FossilFriday. This ancient, beaked herbivore was the size of a cow & lived in Argentina 🇦🇷 during the Late #Triassic (~230 Ma).
