Happy #FossFriday! Here's a look at the lower half of the back leg of the #Barosaurus being worked on at the Museum of Ancient Life. Over 60% of the animal is preserved, including beautiful vertebrae. I'll be visiting it again next weekend!

Dawn in Late Jurassic North America. A pair of huge Barosaurus lentus wake up as a large flock of the anurognathid #pterosaur Mesadactylus return to the trees to rest during the daytime. Sketch

#Barosaurus was a very large diplodocid that was one of the many #sauropods that inhabited North America during the Late Jurassic.

This sketch is done following the suggestion of patron Oliverandpaleothings who proposed Barosaurus as a taxon for me to sketch.
