A pair of Proterochampsa on fighting over a prey Pelorocephalus (a temnospondyl). The Proterochampsa on the left is seen from the side and it is holding the temnospondyl in its mouth while the one on the right has its mouth open and it’s trying to take the prey out of the jaws of the other reptile.

Close up detail of a WIP reconstruction of two Proterochampsa fighting over lunch. I have finally started this illustration for my book.

Proterochampsids are just awesome!

The first image is a beautiful illustration by the talented artist @serpenillus.bsky.social. Long ago in ancient Brazil, during the Late Triassic Period. A pair of proterochampsid archosauriforms called Proterochampsa are fighting over a tasty Pelorocephalus (a chigutisaurid temnospondyls).
