I painted the giant amphibian Eryops megacephalus, known from the Early Permian of Texas and even Late Carboniferous of New Mexico. These carnivores could reach an impressive length of 3 meters.

My #mastodon #introduction :
I'm Lachlan. I'm a PhD candidate at the University of New South Wales and the Australian Museum (where I am also a technical officer in #palaeontology ). I study #temnospondyls , fossil #crocs and other #tetrapods.
I am a former primary school #teacher and am a proud dad to 4 boys.
Here's a photo of #Eryops that I took at the #ROM #Toronto at #SVP 2 weeks ago.

This was a fun delve into the world of palaeo art. It was a bit of a challenge to draw amphibians from fossils, but it turned out ok.
