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.
Davide Bonadonna is an Italian scientific and medical illustrator best known for his paleontological reconstructions of extinct animals. [1] His work has been published in a number of books, museums, and magazines, including his murals in the National Geographic Museum's Spinosaurus exhibit [2] and illustrations in books published by Simon and Schuster.

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.
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)
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 ...
The only images I can find are the photos of juvenile specimen that was quite recently described. But then again it is a juvenile so it can't be used 100% as a reference for adult. So I used the silhoutte from this paper [33] and reconstruction by Alan Benetau.
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.
