Third part of the reconstruction of the Antarctic theropod dinosaur Cryolophosaurus ellioti (outer appearance). Digital medium. Selected for the Ilustraciencia 2017 exhibition. Digital medium. Selected for the Ilustraciencia 2017 exhibition.
Briefly after completing this reconstruction, I was aware of a paper claiming that Cryolophosaurus’ skull holotype fossil was warped by taphonomic processes, being actually more slender and thus rendering this depiction of the head inaccurate. This is a reminder that: A) paleoartistic reconstructions are scientific hypotheses and thus likely bound to become obsolete or false and B) I must study harder!
