​​​​​​​Ancient Keystone: North American Megafauna Project, #2
Oncorhynchus rastrosus and Pacific rockweed

11” x 17”

Printed on uncoated acid-free paper with fade-resistant, archival inks.

By combining prehistoric North American species with contemporary local flora, the goal of the North American Megafauna Project by Beastie and Bone is to help inhabitants of the United States view their backyards, local parks, and nearby conservation areas with new appreciation. The spike-toothed salmon no longer leaps up the rivers of the Pacific Northwest – but it's descendant the Sockeye salmon, as well as sea wolves, marbled murrelets, island marble butterflies, and many other endangered species now live along the Pacific coast. If we don't take care of them and their habitat, they very well may become as obscure to us as Oncorhynchus rastrosusis now. 

Handle gently to avoid damaging the velvety texture of this print, and frame using archival materials for longevity of display.

This print is part of Beastie and Bone’s North American Megafauna Project, which is an exploration of ancient extinct species from throughout the North American continent that pairs their remains with common modern day flora of the areas they once lived in. Integrating these past animals back into the landscapes we encounter today in this manner, instead of presenting them as sterile fossil specimens, encourages us to look differently at the shrinking wild spaces around us, and what else may soon no longer be found there unless conservation efforts are supported.
