Just me rotating a mysterious fossil skull like it's a priceless ancient potato.
Can you guess which creature this is? (Hint: it’s got a beak you wouldn’t want to argue with.)
Every replica in the shop starts here; just me, ZBrush, and way too much coffee.

Own a piece of prehistory, handmade from sketch to skull:

Pangupterus liui was a mysterious #pterosaur that lived in the early Cretaceous of China!
The holotype #fossil only has the long and thin bottom jaw along with most of the teeth!

I’ve reconstructed it here as a gallodactylid pterosaur because from what I can tell, the jaw and teeth look most similar to #pterosaurs like these! 🪮

🚨 NEW PTEROSAUR! 🚨

Melkamter pateko was an early #monofenestratan pterosaur from the Chubut Province of Argentina! The holotype includes part of the #skull, a couple teeth, a few vertebrae, a metacarpal from one of the free fingers, and “other bone fragments”.

🚨 NEW PTEROSAUR! 🚨

Skiphosoura bavarica was a monofenestratan #pterosaur from the #Solnhofen limestone of Germany!
This species helps us understand how #pterosaurs transitioned from the “rhamphorhynchoid” body plan (regular sized head/neck, long tail), to the pterodactyloid body plan (big head, long neck, stumpy tail)!

Hello, #PortfolioDay!

I'm H. Pettijohn, a fossil illustrator looking to step more into scientific illustration. Skulls are my main focus, but I like drawing a variety of fossils.
