Akidostropheus oligos was a small tanystropheid archosauromorph reptile that lived during the late Triassic, about 223-218 million years ago, in what is now Arizona, USA.
Only a few tiny isolated vertebrae have been discovered, so its full size and appearance isn't known – making any reconstruction rather speculative – but it was probably around 30cm long (~12"). Like other tanystropheids it would have been a long-necked lizard-like animal, and may have had a similar build to the closely-related Tanytrachelos.
But despite the scarcity of material the few known vertebrae are unique among archosauromorphs, bearing elongated spikes with a surface texture that suggests they were covered with keratinous sheaths. The spikes were conical, sharp, and hooked on the neck and upper back, but became more flattened, straighter, and blade-like on the lower back and tail.
These structures were probably defensive in nature, especially considering that there's direct fossil evidence for predators targeting the long necks of tanystropheids and decaptiating them.
Akidostropheus lived in a tropical floodplain environment around a meandering river system, but without more and better fossils it's impossible to tell what its ecology was. Tanystropheids were a strange and diverse bunch, with both terrestrial and aquatic lifestyles, bipedal runners, and possibly even bizarre leg-gliders, so this spiky little Triassic weirdo could have been doing almost anything.

Foxhound Hunt of the Triassic -
A unorganized gang of Coelophysis bauri hunt down a lone Trilophosaurus buettneri, a distant North American relative of the double-horned archosauromorph Sheingasaurus, across a shallow river in what is now the Chine Formation of the American southwest as a Desmatosuchus drinks and a Postosuchus passes by in the background. Coelophysis possessed many anatomical adaptations for fast-pursuit hunting, such as stereoscopic vision, tall leg bones and a long tail which acted as a counterbalance when the dinosaur ran, and its highly serrated teeth enabled it to make short work of captured prey items. And although its social behaviour certainyl did not look like those of canids as with most other theropods, the finds at the Ghost Ranch fossil site in New Mexico, which records a large mob of Coelophysis of all ages getting killed by a catastrophic flash flood, indicate that it is possible for otherwise solitary individuals of this basal theropod may have joined forces from time to time in order to take down potentially larger, more dangerous prey animals, in a similar manner to present-day scenarios of a pack of hounds chasing a deer, fox, rabbit or a wild boar, and rip them apart in feeding frenzies that are similar to those of crocodiles, Komodo dragons or vultures, not to mention the strong parental bonds that Coelophysis parents may have had with their offspring. So Coelophysis was capable of occasionally forming small, loose congregations, whether they be families, creches of variously-aged individuals, or hungry/thirsty adults, to hunt down certain prey animals or to gather around any prey-abundant water hole areas during the dry season, but was nevertheless a usually solitary animal like most other diapsids.

wow ignore that i havent posted here since last year. ANYWAYS !!!! somehow i forgot to post these guys alongside my Megaraptor i drew in november so 😭 here's some more fandinos for Paleo Pines !!!
"fandinos" being sorta misleading though since neither of these guys are dinosaurs lol. regardless, up first we have Tanystropheus who is infinitely ridiculous. then we have Sharovipteryx, who is equally infinitely ridiculous. both of these guys lived in the Triassic - and surprisingly, are likely related!

Gharial?
We've done gharial before but it was in the early days of this blog (only about 100 votes), so I'll do it again :)
Have you seen the gharial (Gavialis gangeticus)?
I have now
Yes, in photos/videos
Yes, irl
I'm not sure
Dinosaurs!!! I'm thinking of making more art using these critters specifically, as well as their friends(and prey)
These are:
a Ceratopsid, either basal or juvenile
Attempt at a Yutyrannus
a Maniraptoran(I was going for a Dromaeosaurid look, let me know how it looks)
a Sauropod(which will be blue-purple with red highlights/crest)
Feel free to give me more archosaurs to draw!(yes I'm extending this to Pterosaurs and Pseudosuchians as well!)
