Supersaurus (meaning "super lizard") is a genus of diplodocid sauropod dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Jurassic period. The type species , S. vivianae , was first discovered by Vivian Jones of Delta, Colorado , in the middle Morrison Formation of Colorado in 1972.
Subsequent to its publication, All Yesterdays has proven influential on the modern culture of palaeoart. [1] The book and its associated concepts have sometimes appeared in publications covering the nature, history, and 'best practices' of palaeoart, particularly in the context of emphasizing the need for modern depictions of dinosaurs to be consistent with how living animals look and behave.

Today, paleoart is a globally-recognized genre of scientific art, and has been the subject of international contests and awards, galleries, and a variety of books and other merchandise. Related terms are life restoration (or life reconstruction) and in-vivo restoration (or in-vivo reconstruction). [7]

Images that have been deemed inaccurate should be tagged with the Wikimedia Commons template "Inaccurate paleoart" c:Template:Inaccurate paleoart (which automatically adds the "Inaccurate paleoart" category (c:Category:Inaccurate paleoart), so they can be prevented from being used and easily located for correction.
This species was last seen in 1962 and the preserved specimens have lost their original color so I had to restore it based on field notes, so there's some element of reconstruction like in paleoart rather than referencing photos of live individuals (which to my knowledge do not exist).

There are pictures of fossils online, and a reconstruction from Deviantart, so that may be useful. If that doesn't work I have another suggestion, Thaleops. I don't see many life reconstructions of trilobites, and having some would probably help readers get a good grasp on their life appearance.Fossiladder13 02:32, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
Longrich's reconstructions seem to be criticized by members of the paleoart community because of their unusual proportions and dorsal fins; I don't know of any other major mosasaur experts that make such speculative depictions.
