Description
Lystrosaurus murrayi was a dicynodont that lived in what is now Antarctica and South Aftrica in the late Permian and early Triassic around 250 million years ago. Lystrosaurus survived the Permian-Triassic extinction, and following the mass extinction event (during the early Triassic) it made up for as much as 95% of total individuals in some fossil beds.
The image above shows a restoration of an Antarctic Lystrosaurus murrayi, along with a restoration of its skull.
An accurate image of the skull of the Antarctic Lytrosaurus murrayi was hard to find, but i eventualy found an outlined restoration in the journal "Lystrosaurus from Antarctica" (PDF) Page 15, Fig. 5. The PDF can be found easily if you search "Lystrosaurus from Antarctica PDF"
The skull is pictured slightly differently thoughout the entirety of the journal, and it is as if they mixed L. murrayi and L. curvatus skulls in some drawings. (Some images show L. murrayi to have a flat snout, while others show a slightly longer and more curved snout as depicted above. For the purpose of this drawing i based my restoration of the skull in fig. 15 of the above journal/article)
If an expert on the subject finds an error in my restoration (eg, The skull and drawing more accurately represents L. curvatus rather than L. murrayi) please let me know, and i will change the title name and names in the description to accurately fit the image.
But for now, it will stay as Lystrosaurus murrayi untill further notice
Feels pretty good to finally get back into Paleoart
