The narial fossa likely supported a balloon like structure. The maxilla has a notable ridge under the antorbital fenestra. Deep vascular grooves imply the maxillary bone was tightly covered by scales, skin or keratin, so this ridge would have been clearly visible in life.
The bosses above and in front of the eyes and on the nasal I have reconstructed with a keratin covering that is relatively smooth and shiny on the surface, similar to the keratin in many modern animals such as lizards and buffalos.
The scales are mostly based on the closely related Concavenator. It features large square scales in rows on the ventral surface of the tail. I reconstructed Carcharodontosaurus with similar scales on the belly, as seen in most reptiles, even in Triceratops and crocodiles.
The large pterosaur is an Alanqa saharica. Unfortunately it is not known from a lot of material, just long pieces of beak with protrusions on the inside of the mouth which might have helped it catch or hold fish.
The plantlife is also based on the fossil record. Angiosperm trees and nelumbite lilypads have been found in the Kem Kem Group (where this illustration takes place), as well as in contemporaneous strata in Egypt.
