Description
I decided to upload this sketch in case I don't find the time to finish before May 1st. The photo is bad and the pencil lines aren't replaced with black pen yet.
NRD23456 guessed right, I chose to illustrate Phosphatosaurus gavialoides, from the Eocene of North Africa ! This dyrosaurid is characterized by a long, quite narrow but relatively robust snout compared to other genera from this family such as Dyrosaurus or Rhabdognathus. It has different teeth from that of piscivorous crocodilians and powerful mandible muscles, implying a diet consisting of hard-shelled preys such as turtles. The skull alone is around one meter long, suggesting a large animal.
This was requested by NRD23456 ! Hope you like it even if this is only a draft (and despite the bad photo) !
Update, April 29th : changed main file.

Very nice!
When I first read the title, I was like, "Dryosaurid? What?" But when I read the title again, it was Dyrosaurid. xD

Yeah poor turtles... When it's not a Tylosaurus or an Andrewsarchus it's a dyrosaurid

Honestly the contest is yours XD Your Rhabdognathus is truly admirable, very nicely colored, and so is the mud surrounding it.
