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.
Any other image, such as size comparisons or photos of skeletal mounts, can also be posted here to review their accuracy. If you want to submit paleoart images for accuracy review, place them here as well as links to what you used as references. If you want to participate as reviewer, you can put the page on your watchlist.
Marine reptile reconstructions of behavior generally mimic dolphins (especially because their anatomies are so similar) so I wouldn't think it so extreme to show ichthyosaurs porpoising like that, and this Telegraph article (I don't know the study it's citing) says "they were almost certainly capable of breaching the water."
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.
The additional images aren't on Commons yet, though. By the way, the white space next to a cladogram is often a nice space to fill out with an image of some sort, I think. FunkMonk 20:47, 16 January 2018 (UTC) I've uploaded the additional images on commons, added a commons link and put in one of the unused images next to the cladogram.
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.

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)
These are all in the public domain, and so also are great sources for images such as historical skeletal reconstructions and elements of anatomy.
