Vintage Dinosaur Art, Some More, and Ancient Reptiles (not dinos)

From a book I had as a kid: 

Unique take. You have to admire the collared lizard inspiration; it feels possible. Plus the plants are awesome. 


Speaking of lizards, young N. American Anole lizards will wag their tale before they strike. ReptileRoom site. Saw it again just the other day... love those dudes.  Reminds me of my cat when it is about to pounce.

Scelidosaurus

I love this guy's attitude, you see it in the eyes and mouth. We'll miss this type of art.

Dromaeosaurs vs. Iguanadont

Wow, raptor types look so much better without the feather art. Original here: http://gurche.com/new-page

Ancient Reptiles (that weren't Dinos)

  • Elasmosaurus - Was the 1933 King Kong fighting the Elasmosaurus? It sure looks like it. 


  • Tanystropheus
