My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Some zooms into my 2023 Western Interior Seaway illustration, from DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR, by Prof Michael Benton (published by Princeton University Press). It features an Edmontosaurus carcass attracting attention from birds, pterosaurs, bony fish, sharks, marine reptiles, and ammonites.

New review: Though full of Gregory Paul's signature skeletal diagrams, The Princeton Field Guide to Predatory Dinosaurs duplicates so much material from his recent dinosaur guide that it will leave potential buyers in a bind.
