Judithian Montana Mural, section 6 of 9 (2008)

Digital painting / photographic composite

The above image is part of a 64x4-foot mural of Montana during the late Cretaceous, commissioned by the Houston Museum of Natural Science and the Judith River Foundation for the exhibit entitled "Dinosaur Mummy CSI: Cretaceous Science Investigation", which features the mummified remains of a Brachylophosaurus canadensis duckbilled dinosaur nicknamed "Leonardo". In this section of the mural, near the shores of the Western Interior Seaway, a Parasaurolophus walkeri bellows a call, while an Ichthyornis dispar stands on the foreground sand (and flies in from above) at a safe distance from the crocodilian Leidyosuchus canadensis. In the distance, the decaying carcass of a Brachylophosaurus canadensis has attracted a huge azhdarchid pterodaur.
