Tulgey Wood- Galumph

In creating a new polar biome for my "Drassoffa" community prompt response project on the Speculative Evolution Forum, the poem "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll has a lot of potential.

 

The creatures depicted here are descendants of species from the various fossil formations I picked: the Cretaceous Barun Goyot Formation, the Triassic Manda Beds, the Jurassic Pant-y-Ffinnon Quarry and Blue Lias (I also selected the Carboniferous Commentry Shales and the Silurian Coalbrookdale Formation.

 

The Jabberwock itself is a descendant of the primitive Coelophysoid theropod Dracoraptor, the Jubjub-bird is descended from the Oviraptorid Nemegtomaia, and the Bandersnatch is a descendant of the small Metatherian mammal Deltatheridium. The Galumph is a large herbivorous theropod descended from Sarcosaurus.
