I talked about this on Tumblr already but I wanted to spread this a little further, unfortunately Twitter and Bluesky are not ideal for this type of content so I will work with screenshots.
In short: I DOUBT MANIPULONYX WAS A EGG SPECIALIST AND HERE IS WHY!

Painting of my character, Pudgy Horse, a horse of baroque type appearance with luxuriant mane and tail, and deliberately exaggerated proportions, including short, slender legs with dainty hooves and an extremely generous girth; here painted in tribute to one of the famous horses in the Lascaux cave paintings using similar colours and simplified shapes.

A #PudgyHorse tribute to the Lascaux cave paintings, painted with the Strata Trio watercolours made by @thoughtsupnorth.bsky.social from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020.

Might as well post this one as it's been stolen and sold on Australian Temu. 🙃

a portrait of fasolasuchus facing to the right

two skeletal diagrams of fasolasuchus. the first depicts the holotype material, a subadult individual measuring at just over 6 metres in length. the second is an undescribed specimen, PVL 3851, estimated at over eight metres in length, and standing almost two metres tall

in late triassic argentina, long before the days of tyrannosaurus rex, the largest land predator in the world walked on four legs - not two. this was fasolasuchus tenax, a distant relative of crocodilians more than eight metres long

Since Dinanomodon guoi is only known from a compele cranium, I using Turfanodon jiufengensis (a close-reletive taxon of Dinanomodon) as a reference to reconstruct its postcranial region.

A group of Dinanomodon guoi is feeding beside a stream. Nearby, two Moschowhaitsia lidaqingi, large carnivorous therocephalians, are looking for an opportunity to hunt. Across the stream, a pair of Turfanodon jiufengensis are resting.

Happy #FossilFriday from the plioplatecarpine modasaurs from the Niobrara! Selmasaurus is so dinky compared to the others. Not pictured: Latoplatecarpus who is out in the display hall.

How would be facing the largest of the protocetids? Pappocetus, an animal that could have exceeded 5m in lenght or more, at that size it is likely that it was fully adapted to an aquatic life. Smaller, early basilosaurids probably were not fond of giant protocetids like this.
