Welcome to the Gallery, Its an asorted Paleoart collection using some of the images already present in the Glossary as well as extras I wanted to share. The images are sorted to general catagories, and it's also a covienient way to Hotlink/advertise other pages on the site. I've quoted the artist if they provided a description of their piece. Check out the Bonebed for the same concept except for Fossils and Fossil displays:

The rains are late, the heat is lethal, and everything is dry to the core.

RetroThere isn't any exact classification for what is considered Retro Paleoart. It's all about vibes really, think of it like looking at old school cars and like them, come to expect design flaws within them that modern reconstrutctions would not have.

Jurassic World

<a href='https://www.deviantart.com/arvalis/art/The-Isle-Magnaraptor-702146179 '>arvalis</a> Not a real genus, nor is it from Jurassic World but you can clearly see the design is just a Jurassic Park Raptor. It's even standing on a familiar jeep Back when the movie was supposed to be about Dinosaurs in our world, instead of genetically modified locusts being used to cause a famine <a href='https://scontent-ord5-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/545016884_816148417433396_1777797928328389394_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=dd6889&_nc_ohc=mdq__-_-7ucQ7kNvwFS7hul&_nc_oc=Adq0jITHXpeFo75JAq0DmmWpzkFGz-jtV7VW8cyTGLukqHu1h3a3BTcc2DFNm6L2uiAFOfSyOVBJjIs-WoBb4cwY&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-3.xx&_nc_gid=XqCImANqK7jqd5v9hS1Q-g&_nc_ss=7a289&oh=00_Af4EnnzCkBBKsFS9cpYVy2dgVcK8n5AWhmqI0LF2YGCjxQ&oe=69FC5D69'>John Mccoy</a>, back when the Distortus rex had a more Xenomorph like design Originally the Indoraptor was planned to scene where it kills it's twin in the movie. However the albino twin was likely scrapped due being similar to the Indominous rex killing its sibling in the previous movie. This concept was kinda reused in the Jurassic World mobile games with Indoraptor Gen 2 With a <a href='https://skeletron8000.neocities.org/Mesozoic/Stegosaurus'>Stegosaurus</a> skeleton instead of a <a href='https://skeletron8000.neocities.org/Mesozoic/Tyrannosaurus'>Tyrannosaurus</a> skeleton fighting with a Sauropod skeleton.
