Very realistic take on it... I can almost feel that sucker in the ocean by me now. Ouch! That is a fantastic illustration of Tylosaurus.

By shrinking and expanding again, and being repopulated by evolved relatives, they give the appearance of sudden evolution. However, the locations of the remaining inland seas (smaller and geographically-isolated) during these shrinkages provide all thr evidence of the transitional species. Hence, PunqEq!

Thanks for the link to Varner's paintings as well. I'd seen them before, but it's a pleasure to see them again. Personally, I prefer your tighter style; but preference is all that is, and it shouldn't be read as dissing Varner's gifts.

This site does well by your paintings, Carl -- like them, it opens doors to marvels. On another note: Maybe <i>that's</i> what's the matter with Kansas! Marvelous.

That thing is eating all of the fish! I sure would love having that mounted on my wall though! No wonder I don’t catch anything when I go fishing in the Kansas Ocean.
