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.
Dufault's interest in paleoart started when she visited Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto at eight years old and saw the dinosaur skeletons on display. [1] [2] In addition to drawing and sketching, she enjoyed exploring nature as a child, spending hours outdoors, digging up worms and collecting insects.
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."
User created images are not considered original research, per WP:OI and WP:PERTINENCE [a], but it is appreciated if sources used are listed in file descriptions (this is often requested during WP:Featured Article reviews). For reviews of non-dinosaur paleoart, see WikiProject Palaeontology's paleoart review page: Criteria sufficient for using ...
Paleoart can even be used as a research methodology in itself, such as in the creation of scale models to estimate weight approximations and size proportions. [23] Paleoart is also frequently used as a tool for public outreach and education, including through the production and sale of paleontology-themed toys, books, movies, and other products ...
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. [3]
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)
