I am primarily interested in paleontology and history, which are subjects in which I create and expand articles. I am named after ''[[Ichthyovenator]]'', an [[Early Cretaceous]] [[Spinosauridae|spinosaurid]] [[Theropoda|theropod]] [[dinosaur]] from [[Laos]]. I jump around quite a bit from subject to subject, but the following are the subjects and areas I've mostly contributed to:
* [[Assyria]]n and [[Babylonia]]n history
* [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] and [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] history
* [[Eurypterid]]s (sea scorpions) - tracker for the eurypterid project [[User:Ichthyovenator/Eurypterid overview|here]]

|group1=[[File:Original Barnstar Hires.png|60px]]{{spaces|2}} '''The Original Barnstar'''
|list1=  Congratulations on the approval of Pterygotidae! There are already 3 good articles about eurypterids!
[[Usuario:Super Dromaeosaurus|<span style="color:#007E8B;">Super</span>]] [[Especial:Contribuciones/Super_Dromaeosaurus|<span style="color:#cc0000;">Ψ</span>]] [[Usuario discusión:Super Dromaeosaurus|<span style="color:#007E8B;">Dro</span>]] 14:51, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

|group2=[[File:Fossilized Barnstar.png|60px]]{{spaces|2}} '''The Fossilized Barnstar'''
|list2=  For your explosion of expanded [[eurypterid]] articles in so little time! They will probably be the best (only?) sources of information about these animals for regular readers anywhere. [[User:FunkMonk|FunkMonk]] ([[User talk:FunkMonk|talk]]) 23:54, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

|group3=[[File:Fossilized Barnstar.png|60px]]{{spaces|2}} '''The Fossilized Barnstar'''
|list3=  I might be more of a dinosaur guy but I must say your work on [[pterygotid]] articles is very impressive. If you continue to work on ''[[Necrogammarus]]'' and end up nominating it for GA as well, Pterygotidae could become a [[Wikipedia:Good_topics|good topic]]! So I give you this fossilized barnstar, and bid you good luck on your editing!
