Ex-Rabbit Croc

In my ongoing attempts to work myself paleoart-wise further down the avian stem (while still having to finish a drawing for a paleoart contest), this is Marasuchus lilloensis, the probably most basal dinosauromorph presented by more than just hind limb remains. This ferret-sized, slightly anorexical-looking thing was among the first animals of the lineage that led to dinosaurs (as opposed to any other clades of animals, such as pterosaurs or the crocodile-line pseudosuchians). Most of the head and - most frustratingly - the hands is conjecture, but the rest of the animal is fairly well-constrained, with several specimens to go with.

GSP - hat tip to him for the skeletal - illustrated it with a median row of osteoderms across its spine, but I couldn't find any sources confirming or denying their actual presence in the fossil material. I obviously went with my wide - avemetatarsalia-sized - bracket for fluffy integumentary fuzz on this guy. Speaking of Paulian implications, it would have been kickass to illustrate this thing in a bounding gallop as he did, but I don't know enough for that; given that he assumed basal sauropodomorphs as unambiguously bipedal-only as Plateosaurus were capable of that, I chickened out and depicted this tiny fellow leaping up at some insect or such.
