Deinocheirus Mirificus with large speculative neck sacs, which could have allowed it to create loud, booming bellows.

Giant poggers of the deep :0

Quick sketch featuring gentle giants Leedsichthys Problematicus and a basking shark (Cetorhinus Maximus)

Leedsichthys Problematicus is such an awesome animal that isnt brought up that often, when people talk about a prehistoric animals that lived in the ocean, ichthyosaurs, mosasaurs, plio and plesiosaurs and sharks are brought up often, but this titan is left out of the convo pretty often, idk if its because it is not a powerful predator, but it was the largest animal of its time, some plesiosaurs could rival it in length but it was (maybe) the largest marine animal of its time, it is not the largest fish to ever exist, that title goes to the megalodon, it is not the largest animal that ever existed, that title is claimed by blue whale, but the title of "largest bony fish" goes to this titan, and that is what makes it special in my heart

Both individuals are large specimens and do not represent the average

Ambiguous Orthocerid Nautiloid doodle

a lot of research and speculation went into this one, inspired by one I saw in the field.

Three lamnids (and an ape)

I made a drawing of three sharks Species are in order of size from largest to smalles

Ginsu Shark (Cretoxyrhina Mantelli) Great white shark (Charcharodon Charcharias) Shortfin mako (Isurus Oxyrinhcus)

All sharks are large individuals and do NOT represent the average (cretoxyrhina is kinda an exception since we only have size estimates, but the accepted upper size is 8 meters or so as of writing this)
