The art of the prehistoric

The images are done about two years ago, and may therefore contain certain
anatomic mistakes. The reason why I don't add my
new images (wich is quite a lot by now) is simply because
I have no scanner anymore.

I have made about a houndred new skeletal restorations,
and about thirty new B/W life restorations,
so I really hope I'll get a scanner solution very soon! Click on whatever you may like!

Life Restorations Scene from Helvetuca Formation 1 [Based upon 75cm. long Iguanodon footprints. Probably a big I. bernissartensis.] Sinraptor and Yangchuanosaurus [Portrait of both. I should divide this picture into two.] Harpymimus okladnikoui [Defending it's young] Erlikosaurus andrewsi [A portrait of the Segnosaur with a complete skull] Scene from Helvetica Formation 2 [Allso based upon footprints. In this case a basal tetanuran, or neotetanuran theropod]

Skeletal reconstructions Unnamed Troodontid [Skull remains] Nipponosaurus [Skeletal remains] Othnielia rex [or Nanosaurus rex. Might be the same thing] Syntarsus kayentakatae Neovenator salerii [Skeletal remains] Agilisaurus louderbacki [Skull reconstruction] Altirhinus Curzanovi [Originally assigned to "Iguanodon orientalis" (=I. bernissartensis)] Anatosaurus [Based on "Edmontosaurus/Anatotitan" and by someone assigned to the, by some, abandoned genus, Anatosaurus] Barapasaurus [Based on Indian museum display] "Brontosaurus" [Original remains of "Brontosaurus"] Shanshanosaurus huoyangshanensis [Skull remains] "Raptor Feet" [From left: Deinonychus, Velociraptor, Archeopteryx, Parvine] Dryptosaurus aquilunguis [This one is based on very poor material assigned to Dryptosaurus and other "Dryptosaurus" specimems. Even Deltadromeus has had a helping hand here!] Magnosaurus nethercombensis [Based on all kind of Megalosaur material. Actually it is more a "Megalosaurid skeleton"] Minmi paravertebra [Based on a specimem still in the rock] Sinosauropteryx prima Segnosaurus [Based on different Segnosaurid remains] Gastonia burgei [Based on a museum mount]

Non dinosaurian Carduelis [A little bird] Hesperornis [Swimming after some fish] Nimravus [Was actually found with a hole in it's skull. The hole was made by the tooth a larger feline!] Proterosuchus [Resting on a trunk] Gallodactylus [Walking on all four] Mammuthus primigenius [Based on Norwegian material]

Feel free to use the e-mail adress below to send comments or corrections concerning the images.
Eventually no suggestions can be followed, because my scanner's down.
Therefore all the images are old, and may be out of date, but if the anatomical error in a
skeletal structure seems too serious
I can see what I can to with my computer:)
