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 spinosaurid 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:

Assyrian and Babylonian history
Roman and Byzantine history
Eurypterids (sea scorpions) - tracker for the eurypterid project here

The Original Barnstar	Congratulations on the approval of Pterygotidae! There are already 3 good articles about eurypterids! Super Ψ Dro 14:51, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
The Fossilized Barnstar	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. FunkMonk (talk) 23:54, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
The Fossilized Barnstar	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 good topic! So I give you this fossilized barnstar, and bid you good luck on your editing! ▼PσlєοGєєк ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼ 19:38, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
The Good Article Barnstar	It gives me great pleasure to award you this hard earned barnstar for your amazing work on Western Roman Empire and for bringing it up to Good Article status. A lot of work and a lot of perseverance. You are a fine example of Wikipedia at its best. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:51, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
The Eurypterid Award	For your impressive rap sheet with eurypterids, including a good topic with 14 articles which you managed to do in just the last year, an award I just made up right now. Keep paddling on User:Dunkleosteus77 \|push to talk 04:29, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
The Original Barnstar	For your well-written Mesopotamian-related articles. Keep it up! HistoryofIran (talk) 01:19, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
The Barnstar of WikiProject Greece	We don't have a "Byzantine" barnstar, so this will have to serve as a small token of heartfelt appreciation and encouragement for your excellent and interesting work on the last members of the Palaiologos dynasty. Thank you, and keep it up. Constantine ✍ 13:10, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
Some baklava for you!	Thanks for your great new article at Pretenders to the Byzantine throne! b uidhe 18:50, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
Precious	Thank you for quality articles about groups of extinct aquatic creatures, such as Jaekelopterus, Megarachne and Pterygotidae, for history such as Ashurbanipal, and future such as After Man, with a focus on articles alone, for precision and no clutter, - you are an awesome Wikipedian! You are recipient no. 2369 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:28, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

The Roman Barnstar	I noticed your contributions to Roman people and found them helpful so I am giving this barnstar to congratulate you. Cupper52 (talk) 16:31, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
The Barnstar of Diligence	I visited today the article Nebuchadnezzar II and the difference since my last visit is simply astounding! I see you have done this for all Assyrian and Babylonian kings, I did wonder why Nabopolassar's article is much longer than his son's. From a reader who is interested in the ANE, thank you so much for your astonishing contributions to the topic. Well done! Gsueso2 (talk) 14:49, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
The Original Barnstar	For your work on List of Mesopotamian dynasties and related articles. Zoeperkoe (talk) 07:38, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
The Editor's Barnstar	I thank you for contributing to the "List of Roman Emperors" page. I am thankful you looked through my contributions and removed the incorrect ones. I'll try and improve my expertise for next time. Polyhedron "the Wise" (talk) 19:21, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
