Description
A depiction of the giant turtle Archelon ischyros in a mating courtship. The copulating pair draw in other male Archelon that will try to dislodge the current mating male in order to heighten their own chances of success. The commotion also draws attention from a few juvenile mosasaurs, Platecarpus tympaniticus. At potentially over four metres, Archelon is currently documented as the largest turtle that ever lived! It was present in The Western Interior Seaway during the late Cretaceous, an ocean dominated by a variety of giant marine reptiles. More coming soon!

Digital painting created in photoshop. I used the linear dodge tool to create the water caustics effect. Full time-lapse video on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSUvba…
