pinned post!
Figured I'd actually introduce my page with a pinned post. I'm Daspletoraptor. Some of you may know me from twitter. Here's some of my paleoart. I mostly do big ugly dinos, but expect more weird fish from me in the future.

Remarkable. Report of a Brazilian spiny-rayed fish dating to the Barremian stage of the Early Cretaceous, preceding the oldest known acanthomorphs by ~20 million years. Gondwanacanthus extends the roots of one of today's most prominent vertebrate radiations:

An interesting anatomical quirk of nanotyrannus I haven't seen get talked about is that all the lethaeus and lancencis specimens that preserve the premaxilla have a tooth line that would have caused the less- recurved "incisiform" teeth to project slightly forward, even slightly past the premaxilla.

I think I’ll call this commission “Turla Munchersss”! Millions of years ago during the Miocene, somewhere off the Pacific coast of SA, a gigantic Purussaurus sp. cautiously passes by a titanic female Otodus megalodon, each with freshly caught sea turtles.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

a REALLY cool paper was just posted that describes a new lagertätte from La Rioja Provence, Argentina: A extremophile microorganism site with 3d arthropod bits and plants in a Geothermal field. This site also produces large vertebrate material and sauropod nests.

Had the pleasure of making a sculpture of Sue the Tyrannosaurus rex for SHOWANNA Studio. 🦖 Pretty pleased with how this one turned out, I got to nerd out on all of her unique pathologies. The old girl lived a hard life!

#Xenovenator
is one of the first named dinosaurs of the year! Assigned by Rivera-Sylva et al (2026) to the troodontid lineage, it has oddly thickened frontals - creating a bulbous/domed forehead. Could this be a combat or display adaptation? It's remains from Coahuila,

date back ~73m years.

A portrait sketch of Cryolophosaurus elliotti, a remarkable theropod from the Early Jurassic of Antarctica. This dinosaur is known for its tuft-shaped crest, positioned above the eyes. It was given informal name "Elvisaurus" due this feature.

of 2026: here's
#paleoart
of Dromaeosaurus atop a half-eaten juvenile Chasmosaurus. Dromaeosaurus was no Velociraptor clone, but a relatively robust and probably hard-biting raptorial dinosaur. Painted... two years ago now, I guess, in 2024.
