Incredible earth mural of Triceratops appears at Jurassic Coast quarry

This artwork is really tops – Triceratops, that is. An incredible earth mural of a Triceratops, made with all-natural prehistoric pigments, has appeared at a Jurassic Coast quarry.

Natural landscape artist David Popa used materials, including chalk, charcoal and earth pigments mixed only with source water, to create spectacular unique earth murals - with every piece taking over 12 hours to create. The artist also visited Finland and the USA to showcase other dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus Rex and Hatzegopteryx, in vivid detail.

The artwork has been released as part of a transatlantic gallery to mark the launch of Prehistoric Planet Season 2 on Apple TV+. And they are informed by the latest science that underpins the David Attenborough documentary series, showing an authentic and true-to-life representation of what these incredible animals would have looked like.
