A death match that took place 74 million years ago! Based on the famous fossilised remains of Protoceratops with the wing of a predatory Velociraptor in its beak and the raptor's claws burried deep into its side. An original illustration by Joseph Fells.

Triceratops - From the Late Cretaceous, based in the “Yoshi’s Trike” specimen with the longest brow horns of any Trike ever found, estimated at 115 cm.

Scientifically accurate stylised spino!

TWD Pride Dinos is proud to introduce the mascot for Asexual Pride - the Asexuaeopteryx! This protobird is showing their true colors, loud and proud! #RoarYourPride with #TWDPrideDinos!

Illustration of an ichthyosaur hunting ammonites. Ichthyosaurs, such as ichthyosaurus, shastasaurus and ophthalmosaurus, were among the earliest marine reptiles, first appearing around 250 million years ago and living throughout most of the Mesozoic era. They coexisted with ammonites, which appeared even earlier, and may have preyed upon them. Both groups died out at or towards the end of the Cretaceous period.

Are you a fan of horned dinosaurs? Can you not choose your favorite? Now you don’t have to with a nice group shot of 3 phenomenal members of this exquisite prehistoric family.

Anyone who knows me understand how important dinosaurs were for me as a kid. I just drew a few of them being all friendly and polite.

Meganeura lived during the Late Carboniferous period (300MYA) and was the apex aerial predator of it's day, dominating the skies before birds, pterosaurs, or mammals had evolved. Resembling modern day dragonflies but much much bigger, they had a maximum wingspan of roughly 28 inches.

A good Paleozoic creature for prehistoric animal lovers. Opabinia was an ancient arthropod.

During the Late Triassic period (214 to 204 million years ago), in what would eventually become Heroldsberg, Germany, a group of long-necked giants worked their way across an ancient floodplain; due to their great weight, up to 4.4 tons, they began to sink into the mud, their panicked struggles to free themselves from this predicament only serving to pull them further down until exhaustion eventually set in and they passed away, trapped by their own massive bulk.

Coelodonta antiquitatis, otherwise known as the woolly rhinoceros, was a large member of the Rhino family that inhabited Europe and Northern Asia from the Late Pliocene to the Late Pleistocene. Like many Ice Age megafauna, the Woolly Rhino was covered in thick fur and fat reserves, unlike it’s mostly hairless modern day relatives. The average adult rhino weighed in at around 4000-6000lbs and measured somewhere around 9-12 feet in length. Ice Age cave paintings show evidence of interactions with early humans, which is a possible reason for their eventual extinction.

Megaloceros giganteus otherwise known as the Irish Elk, one of the largest deer species in the fossil record. Measuring 6.9 feet, with the largest antlers of any deer species, measuring 12 feet in width. Despite it’s name it was not exclusively native to Ireland, nor was it actually an elk. Most of the best and most complete specimens were found in Ireland, with some of the antlers winding up on the walls in medieval castles. Megaloceros lived during the Middle pleistocene to the early holocene 0.781 – 0.008 million years ago.

Dilophosaurus - From the Early Jurassic, one of the earliest large predatory dinosaurs in North America.

Vintage illustration of dinosaurs by Charles R. Knight, 1897. Living in the late Jurassic period, Brontosaurus depicted in the water and Diplodocus on land. Perfect gift for kids and dinosaur lovers.

A species of trilobite from the Upper Ordovician, about 445 million years ago, it was discovered in 1838 by an American geologist and paleontologist named James Hall, in the Beecher’s Trilobite Bed in Rome, New York. These specimens were particularly well preserved with even soft body parts preserved in iron pyrite (fools gold). The fossilisation was so good that scientists were able to study their legs, gills, antennae, digestive system, and even some eggs. As a result of this exquisite preservation, this species is often referenced as the standard for scientific text describing trilobite anatomy. Triarthus was a small animal, on’y about 2 inches in length, but that is pretty average among most species of trilobite.

I don't need bear arms (or any kind of arms) to kick ur ass.

Under a veil of moonlight, a giant pushes its way through the edge of an ancient forest, massive legs plow slowly through deep snow, crashing through the stillness of the night making sure not to tangle the even more massive antlers that adorn its head.

This adorable children's book style cartoon illustration makes a great gift for anyone, young or old, who loves dinos. The happy smiley style makes this Stegosaurus fun for all ages

A trilobite found in deposits near Saint Petersburg Russia. It first appeared on the fossil record about 500 million years ago, and died out around 390 million years ago, it was discovered around 1845. Sadly there isn’t as much specific info on this one, but there are more than 20,000 currently identified Trilobite species, and not all of them has as much info as others.

Identified in 1796 by naturalist Georges Cuvier, the Woolly Mammoth has become the symbol of what most people think of when they think of Ice Age animals. Its huge fur covered form feel strange and ancient, like some behemoth marching its way out of the frozen genetic memory of human kind to remind us of how far we have come. Mammuthus primigenius was big, with the largest recorded males measuring about 11.2 feet at the shoulder and weighing in at 6.6 tons. Females were smaller with shorter tusks, but both were relatively close to the size of modern African Elephants, though they were obviously much harrier and more robust in appearance.

While being a member of the overall group that dinosaurs like Ankylosaurus was a part of, Sauropelta edwardsorum was a member of a different branch known as Nodosaurs. Unlike Ankylosaurs, Nodosaurs did not possess tail weapons, though they often displayed large shoulder spikes and still possesses a body covered in armor. Sauropelta could grow up to 17 feet in length and weighed around 2.2 tons, they lived during the Early Cretaceous period, around 108 million years ago.

Spinosaurus has been placed within a secure containment square, lest he cause wanton destruction and chaos. Now he's just swimming

In 1598 Dutch sailors landed on the shores of Maritius looking for supplies during an expedition to Indonesia, while on the island they encountered a large, odd looking, flightless bird. According to the surviving translations of that first account the birds were somewhat tasteless, leading to their discoverers initially calling them Walghvogel (Dutch for “tastelss” or “sickly” “bird”). The origin of the name Dodo is somewhat nebulous, but it’s possible that it may have it’s routes in the word Dodaars, meaning “fat-arse” or “knot-arse.”

This depiction of a Pterodactylus is based on an 1800s illustration from the book "La Terre Avant le Deluge" illustrated by Edouard Riou. I've recreated his original illustration in my own digital block print style, simplifying it to just the swooping Pterodactyl and its soon to be snack dragonfly.

A rogues gallery of some of the greatest predators to have dwelt in our planet's oceans. Seeing how big and toothy life used to be makes one grateful that these creatures are not alive today... though there are those who would claim these monsters still lurk in our seas; it is not like anyone who encountered them would live to tell the tale after all...

Known from only a skull, the rest of Irritator's appearance remains a mystery. Its anatomy here is a rough guess based on its close relative Spinosaurus.

Baryonyx, meaning "heavy claw", was one of the first spinosaurs discovered that gave us a more complete look at this strange group of theropods

In the 1920s Captain Marshall Field funded two expeditions to South America which were undertaken by the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois; these expeditions were launched under the hopes of finding fossils of mammals and other animals from the Cenozoic Era. In 1926, during the second expedition, a team was searching the Ituzaingo Formation in northern Argentina when they came across the remains of three animals thought to be never before discovered species of ancient marsupial. It was roughly 4.9 feet in length and weighed around 330 pounds and it lived during the Late Miocene to Pliocene, roughly 9 to 3 million years ago.
