Morrison Pterosaurs (1999)

Description

Painting I did using acrylics, showing the Late Jurassic pterosaurs Comodactylus and Mesadactylus flying over a sandy stream in the Morrison Formation. Down below, an Allosaurus eyes a passing Apatasaurus and ponders the advisability of launching an attack. I painted this over a framed Geological Map key that I first white-washed with spray paint.

In a freaky twist of fate, I discovered that a trackway in the Morrison Formation just north of Moab, Utah records almost exactly the same relationship of sauropod and theropod tracks...wierd.

Nice!

Mesadactylus is now an anurognathid, but still very nice!
