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.
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]
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.

Todd S. Marshall is an American illustrator and paleoartist specializing in reconstructions of prehistoric animals, particularly dinosaurs, as well as concept art for video game companies and films. Marshall's original dinosaur art has been featured in natural history museums, scientific papers and children's books.
An ambitious promoter of his discoveries and theories, Owen was the driving force for the Crystal Palace dinosaur sculptures, the first large-scale public dinosaur reconstructions (1854). These sculptures, which can still be seen today, immortalized a very early stage in the perception of dinosaurs. [7]
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."
These are all in the public domain, and so also are great sources for images such as historical skeletal reconstructions and elements of anatomy.
