EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Arthur Dorety takes us back to the prehistoric era, where a dramatic scene unfolds beneath the waves. In this digitally generated image, we witness the awe-inspiring power of Tylosaurus, a massive marine lizard from North America, as it attempts to feast on some ammonites. The color image showcases the vibrant hues of the underwater world and captures our attention with its horizontal composition. With no people in sight, nature reigns supreme as animal themes dominate the frame. A medium group of animals can be seen in action, providing a glimpse into wildlife behavior during the Mesozoic era. Tylosaurus, an extinct creature belonging to the mosasaur family and part of squamata reptiles, is depicted in full length swimming gracefully through its aquatic habitat. Its long body and carnivorous instincts make it a formidable predator in this Cretaceous setting. Meanwhile, ammonites - ancient mollusks resembling cephalopods - find themselves caught up in this primal conflict. The open mouth of Tylosaurus reveals its piscivorous nature as it lunges towards its prey with incredible speed and precision. This mesmerizing illustration not only showcases Arthur Dorety's artistic talent but also highlights important aspects of paleozoology and paleontology. It invites us to ponder upon evolution's wonders while emphasizing how creatures like Tylosaurus played crucial roles within their ecosystems millions of years ago.
