Evers - Evolution of turtle body plan
Turtles have a highly modified body plan with robust a kinetic skulls and rigid protective shells
Turtles are ecologically diverse but morphological conservative
the morphological conservatism in turtle shells is seen as far back as the triassic

New descriptions include Bellairsia, Bregnathair, and Krusatodon
3 complete articulated skeletons of amphibians preserved together
new oldest Albaneroptetonid skull
new choristoderes found
lots of new mammaliaformes: new tritylodontid and new triconodontid; new specimen of Palaeoxonodon

(if only Sereno had just described it well 💔💔💔)

Terminonaris, a very complete northamerican sister taxon to Sarcosuchus, and the most derived croc-relative to posses scleral rings

At around the start of this month i went on one of those usual trips i do to the river, where i was welcomed by a pretty nice landscape view that i simply had to quickly paint to remember (as no camera was nearby)

Feels nice to have gotten to use that as inspiration for this paleoart piece :P
