Description

A Dinocephalosaurus, relative to the famous Tanystropheus, attacks a Potanichthys before it can perform it's gliding leap as the first flying fish. Dinocephalosaurus means "Terrible Faced Lizard." Not too strange if you look at it's weird skull which is the first thing discovered about this prolacertiform reptile. I gave it a spotted pattern consistent with rays and seals since this was most probably an ambush predator laying on the seafloor snatching up unsuspecting fish by sucking them in their mouth by widening it's esophagus and then gripping it with the long sharp fangs.
