This was another piece for Australian publisher Weldon Owen. It features the giant armoured fish, Dunkleosteus, after making a kill. It is being mobbed by a number of early shark: several Cladoselache; a male 'anvil shark', Stethacanthus; and, lower left, Ctenacanthus. In the foreground a trio of the trilobite, Huntonia, forages through a reef of horn corals, brachiopods and sponges.

I used brown-ink Edding 1800 technical drawing pens to do the fine detailing - down to .05 nibs. Sadly, Edding has discontinued them and I have yet to find a substitute that works as well. Over the Eddings I use Tria markers from Letraset and then various types of colour pencils and water-based pastels to give the finish I want.
