More on the Triassic Exhibit
6:25 pm
A little more news on the upcoming Triassic exhibit at the day job—Discovery News writer Larry O’Hanlon met with the NMMNHS Triassic Team last week, and has posted a teaser article up on his blog, Earth Impacts, with the promise of more to come.
The post includes a couple of illustrations done for the hall: a rendering of the early mammal Adelobasileus by illustrator Mary Sundstrom, and my own painting of a large archosauriform known from a few dozen well-weathered fossils from the Middle Triassic of New Mexico. The restoration (shown above) is based largely on big erythrosuchian predators like Erythrosuchus and Shansisuchus (from South Africa and China, respectively).
That’s an awesome painting, Matt.
Mmm..that’s one healthy looking archosauriform. I’ll bet it tastes like chicken.
Matt, yet another great painting! Can’t wait to see the final exhibit.
Nice job! Can’t wait to see it all!
Best,
Brett
