Paleoart #146 John Hamberger's Sea Monsters of Long Ago

It's no wonder that Jules Verne was so inspired by the idea of ancient sea monsters and leviathans once existing. Marine Reptiles haven't changed much since their inception in the human psyche, although we now recognize they were much more graceful, the imagery of fantastic serpents battling each... read more

Paleoart #48 Shastasaurus

During the Late Triassic, Shastasaurs were some of the largest marine reptiles, and were some of the largest Icthysaurs. Comparatively primitive against the later Plesiosaurids and Mosasaurs, Ichthysaurs still dominated the oceans for several Millions of years. This piece by Gabriel Ugueto... read more
