I love Trilobites, but they're not the most dynamic subjects to draw. This one I made for my little sister whom I love deeply. I drew some of the latest Trilobite species from the end Permian era, Pseudophillipsia, browsing the silt for nutrient. A tropical storm has jumbled up a coastal area of the Thetys sea, mixing up brackish waters and submerging land, destroying habitats. Many Glossopterys trees fell down and were dragged to the heavily degraded shallows. A large fresh water Chondrychtian, Triodus (ancestral lineage of sharks and rays), slides away looking for prey. ****paleo note: I have no idea if Pseudophillipsia and Triodus might have shared a biotope. Be sure to correct me if it seems outlandish. I do know that Triodus have been discovered in freshwater deposits, but I couldnt find much more about Pseudophillipsia. I took some liberties drawing that, I loved to imagine a heavily disturbed environment, following a storm, where brackish waters meet salt waters. Thank you for helping me progress in paleoart!****
