#Temnovember a study of the Jurassic temnospondyl Sinobrachyops, which lived alongside mamenchisaurs. Smaller than I picture temnos! Partly inspired by the work of cqin & Emily Stepp. Larva is speculative & not to scale

2. A remaster of the first list (with all the "famous" temnospondyls); 3. temnovembern't, where instead of temnospondyls, we take a look at other tetrapodomorphs and basal tetrapods
(sorry for no poll, i dont know how to make them on BlueSky)

November is getting closer, and so is #temnonovember, however,due to this being my fifth year, the more iconic and diverse temnos are done, leating to the idea of maybe doing something diferent this year,with posible options being:1.Regular temnovember list of new taxa (cont)

Was sketching this idea when i remember that lungfishes also dont have anal fins, meaning that both Dipnomorpha and Tetrapodomorpha lose their anal fins independently, what bunch of little weirdos:)

Good morning, here's a quick sketch I put together. I don't usually do line work since it's not my strong suit, but I'm making these heads for something else and thought—why not share them? Hope you like them!

Hey i was just looking at early Stegocephalians late at night (as a normal person does), when i notice that Elpistostege has an anal fin, now i im wondering a) when did this feature disapear ?and b) should we reconstrud animals like Tiktaalik and Panderichthys with it?

Six sketches showing Phytosaurs. Three sketches on top showing Mystriosuchus and three sketches on the bottom showing Nicrosaurus. There are details of their heads and also of their full body

I’m thinking about some of the coolest reptiles of the Triassic: Phytosaurs! No, these AREN’T crocodiles. They are not even closely related to them. Phytosaurs evolved a body plan similar to crocodilians completely separately from them and WAY before they appeared in the fossil record

Photograph and illustration of the skull of the new neotype of Aspidosaurus chiton in dorsal view. The skull is an orange-brown color, longer than wide, and largely undistorted.
