Nice work here, normally you don't see any art of amphbians from the Jurrasic period, rather any animals aside from sea and air reptiles and dinosaurs.

Indeed. I'd like to give justice to the lesser known creatures of the mesozoic...People tend to forget they were not all gigantic monsters.

Yeah, it's easy to forget that there were other creatures running around during the Mesozoic other than the dinosaurs.

It was related to a modern group of archaic frogs that lived in New Zealand (Leiopelma). Related (biologically) in the same sense than dogs are related to wolves or cats are related to lions.

Were the dimensions similar to today's frogs?
