EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Arthur Dorety transports us back to the prehistoric era, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of Cymbospondylus. This digitally generated image showcases the immense size and power of this early Triassic ichthyosaur, an extinct marine reptile that once roamed our ancient oceans. With its sleek body gliding effortlessly through the water, Cymbospondylus is depicted in a side view as it navigates its underwater realm. Its predatory nature is evident as it hunts for fish, showcasing its role as a piscivorous creature within the food chain. The attention to detail in this illustration brings forth the primeval essence of this magnificent creature. The artist's mastery captures every aspect of Cymbospondylus' morphology, from its diapsid skull structure to its large aquatic fins. As we observe this scene unfold before us, we are reminded of the intricate interplay between species in their natural habitats. Belemnites, cephalopods belonging to mollusk family, become prey for Cymbospondylus as they attempt to evade capture amidst an ocean teeming with life. Arthur Dorety's skillful portrayal not only highlights scientific accuracy but also evokes a sense of action and motion within this ancient ecosystem. Through his artistry, he invites us on a journey into paleozoology and paleontology while igniting our imagination about Earth's evolutionary history.
