I put it in the background covered up by everything as a joke to carry over the original joking context that it originally had

In January after the ending of Paleothalassia phase one we did a little mini event which saw an exploration of the continent during the Cambrian in the fictional Tohorā shale.

It was fun seeing the speculative beasties that were made for this mini event

A new tritylodontid, Bienotheroides wucaiensis, has been discovered in Shishugou Formation, China. 3D scans reveal its unique cranial features, shedding light on tritylodontid evolution.

LITERALLY PEAK! Best clade of non mammalian cynodonts has a new member.

actually fire image. thank you for shairing it with me

Digital painting made by Dino Dan (also called Pantydraco on Twitter) of a herd of large Diprotodonts in the snowy Australian Alps during the Pleistocene.

Wait I just realized, Dino Dan/Pantydraco made a piece of large Diprotodonts in the Australian Alps.

like its so unnnatural to see even modern aussie animals in the snow, imagine the australian megafauna

I dont think ive seen a scene with palorchestes interacting with anything. thatd be cool to see.

Or any australian megafauna in snowy environments like what at mount kosciuszko. you only ever see them in dry forests

Phase 2 will also conclude with several murals representing the unquie fauna and flora found across the continent.

here is some examples of murals from phase 1

For those who want to join a fun spec evo community event maybe consider joining paleothalassia. The second phase has just started with this one being set in the last bit of the early permian, the Kungurian, about 90 million years after its intial seperation. Consider joining

Bluesky sneak-peak at the finished Coelurosaur profiles for next week's episode:

while not the possum they seem to usually post, who doesn't love brush tail possums. They are some of the most obsurd acting animals that I've ever seen.

they always look so shocked no matter what they are doing

This is going to be a thread of every Submission i did for @cleanlymoss.bsky.social Paleothalassia Phase 1 project

#paleostream some stuff from todays paleostream. Finally managed to catch on again

Completely serious paleoartistical hypothesis about Majungasaurus

a bright white Notobatrachus tadpole is killed by a dark red spinosaur, it glows and bleeds pink from its eyes, as the blood trickles down it turns to a pastel shade of blue. it was never able to metamorphose.

Lost Future

I've been away, so am late to welcome folks fleeing X. For newbies: Hi, I'm Mark, I research, illustrate and write about extinct life, especially #dinosaurs and #pterosaurs. I'm known for my #paleoart and have consulted on, and designed creatures for, lots of your favourite dinosaur documentaries.

What if the world ends but life still goes on...

Guest Post: Dinosaur Sanctuary review by Tommy Leung Today we’re happy to welcome back Tommy Leung, who previously delighted you with their review of My Girlfriend is a T. rex in 2016… which is, somehow, six years ago. Tommy’s blog …

Most of y'all probably know me from my writing on the Parasite of the Day blog, but I've also written two manga reviews on the Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs:

They are not having a good time right now

That’s right It’s another WIP. This time it’s an Australopithecine that specced into running instead of tool use

We gonna explore these guys tool usage when I finish these guys. The Halfling's usage of more advanced tools and their cranial morphology has particularly brought their classification into question, where as the Giants usaage is much more in line with Paranthropus proper

More Timeless World stuff. A WIP of the mighty Australopithecus (Halfling) and a near finished Paranthopus (Giant)

This looks utterly magnificent

Kaimeran Homotherium inspired by the new mummy:

He walks and really likes eating grass as all Paranthropus does. He however is of course a bit bigger than most Paranthropus species.

The Timeless World returns (debuts on Bluesky). Here we have a WIP of gargantuan Australopithecine on the robust side of the subtribe.
