Pastel Paleotober Day 12: Dimetrodon 🍋🍏
Dimetrodon was an early Permian carnivore, living mainly in the southern United States but with some species spread as far as Canada and Germany. The sail on its back was likely used in displays, much like the antlers of modern deer.
Pastel Paleotober Day 11: Glyptodon 💐
Glyptodon, a relative of modern armadillos, lived in South America in the Pleistocene. Glyptodon posessed a spikey armored tail that it may have used for defense or in territorial combat.
Pastel Paleotober Day 10: Procoptodon 🏵
Procoptodon, a genus of short-faced kangaroos, lived in Australia in the Pleistocene epoch. One species, P. goliah, was the largest kangaroo ever at 2m tall and 200kg. It was likely too large to hop and instead walked more like people.
Pastel Paleotober Day 9: Waimanu 💝
Waimanu of New Zealand lived in the Paleocene soon after KPG Extinction. Taking advantage of the empty nieches left by the disappearance of most large marine predators, Waimanu took to the sea full-time as one of the first true penguins.
Pastel Paleotober Day 8: Sinosauropteryx 💜
Sinosauropteryx was a small, carnivorous dinosaur from northeast China in the early Cretaceous. Fossilized traces of its fuzzy coat showed that feathers were not unique to birds and may have been common among theropods at the time.
Pastel Paleotober Day 6: Meganeura 💙
Meganeura flew through the forests of late Carboniferous France. The high oxygen content of the atmosphere at this time enabled insects to grow much larger than possible today, and Meganeura’s wingspan could exceed 70 cm (2 feet 3 inches).
Pastel Paleotober Day 3: Archelon 🍊
Archelon, the largest known turtle at 15 feet head to tail, swam in the late Cretaceous sea of North America. Although Archelon sports a leathery carapace, it is not closely related to the modern leatherback sea turtle.
