"Willo, the 66-million-year-old Thescelosaurus, was discovered in 1993 on a South Dakota ranch. Willo's heart was the first soft-tissue organ ever discovered to be preserved. It has four chambers and a singe systemic aorta, suggesting that the herbivore was a warm-blooded reptile."

This thing took me 2 months. Some days I'd spend up to 6 hours on it, some day's I'd be so sick of it that I wouldn't even bother. The background itself took forever. There are about 20 other backgrounds sitting in a folder that I'm not as happy with. The bones themselves look better on a solid color because the grainy dirt takes away from the detail in the skeleton, so here's a link to what it would look like alone. Gah! It's finally over! Now I can start on something new! I hope whoever sees this finds it worth their time.

Fun fact: I got to see Willo a few years ago on a school field trip! He's now in a museum in North Carolina, but of course his heart is off in a research lab somewhere. Just his skeleton is on display. I love dinosaurs. Always have.
