This is some sort of Palaeozoic shark, bearing denticles and long, semi-retractable jaws. This was a concept that Raymond Tobin and I came up with for the Speculative Dinosaur Project before it died off. A kind of false-ground-sloth with a prehensile, trunk-like lower lip. This is a re-draw of a series of nondescript, blind sand-burrowing creatures from more than a decade ago. I think this one could be a mammalian burrower from a very far future, many hundreds of millions of years after humans. A turkey-sized palaeognath bird that is a predator, mainly dispatching prey with its large clawed, plume-less wings. A fast-swimming, endothermi...
