This artwork by Walter Myers takes us back 230 million years ago to the Late Triassic period in what is now Texas, USA. The print showcases a group of Desmatosuchus sp. , large herbivorous archosaurs, as they forage for edible roots amidst a lush landscape filled with cycads and ferns. Standing at an impressive 15 feet long (4.5 meters), these reptilian dinosaurs were dominant during their time. The scene transports us to a dense forest where towering trees provide shelter and shade for these magnificent creatures. As the Desmatosuchus diligently search for sustenance, their intricate anatomy and reptilian features are beautifully captured in this illustration. The artist's attention to detail brings life to every element of this prehistoric ecosystem - from the vibrant green foliage of the cycads and ferns to the textures on each individual scale of these ancient reptiles. It serves as a reminder of how diverse our planet's history has been, showcasing both flora and fauna that have long since vanished. This mesmerizing piece not only highlights the biological aspects but also offers insights into paleontology, illustrating extinct species like Desmatosuchus within their natural habitat. It is truly an awe-inspiring glimpse into Earth's past that sparks curiosity about our planet's rich evolutionary journey.
