Huh, The Dinocephalo close up looks like it has a small wound. Poor guy, maybe he got picked on by a placodont (say that 5 times fast without spitting) for his looks!

sorry, the atopodentatus appears to have small gash. Maybe he was picked on by a placodont for his looks!

Thank you! Yes, he had a little wound on her neck, obtained, possibly in battle.

Nothing happened to it, own known individuals have a school like that with the split in the upper job being hypothesized for filter feeding considering that it's full of needlelike teeth.

No, I was making reference to the neck, haha! I know the weird shape of Atopodentatus' head

I love this picture. you are a skillful artist!

I am very happy that can see four legs if Tanystropheus in frontal view. I wish you draw such position for other animals like Dimetrodon, Cynognathus too!

the position of Tanystropheus in your picture is wonderful.
