The Lancetfish is a species that looks like it comes straight out of a realistic fantasy world building project.

We know little about the deep sea environments of the Mesozoic but one place where we can get a glimpse into this world is the Münsterland basin. We have here several localities that preserved shallow and deep water animals side by side, caused by underwater landslides. These carried stuff from the rim of the basin and buried them in the deep with other material that was down there.
Tachynectes here is a very early lanternfish. Flattened lanternfishes are no longer a thing these days and we actually have lanternfishes from these localities that show their photophores preserved. We know where they glowed!

a dopping of Malagasy shelduck roost in holocene Madagascar. these birds are closely related to the extant Egyptian goose, which were my main reference for the markings.
this was drawn during Paleostream, it was great to finally catch one and I hope to make it a recurring thing :)

Spinosaurus drama is cool and things, but do you know what's even cooler? Better fossils of animals that lived with Spinosaurus!
There is a new specimen of Concavotectum currently on display in Tuscon. BigSkyFossils took some photos of it and I had to doodle it! It's been a while since I did a tselfatiform and now we have finally an idea how the postcranium looked like!
So far we only had a few fragments and this pretty good skull. As some people noted though, the eye is reconstructed in the wrong corner.
