Octomedusa
A jellyfish that grew to 2 cm of diameter, its named after the number of tentacles it has, its rare that this type of animal gets preserved at all
ALT: depending on preservation, 8 tentacles, an irregular edge and even a mouth opening might be marked on the fossil
@Microrapterr is that challenge?
fr tho, you reminded me of this thing i made last year i think?
Kokomopterus
A small eurypterid with spiny arms, its close relatives are sweep feeders, but as its arms arent suitable for this it was a scavenger
ALT: some of the most basal hibbertopterids share characteristics with kokomopterids, even tho they belong to different families
this boi isnt really part of the other series of boies i shared, but he is really similar so i might as well use him to bring other art day back
Cryodrakon
The longest azhdarchid found, it was originally believed to be a new species of quetzalcoatlus, but turned out a new genus
ALT: the current species name is "boreas" northern wind, it was originally going to be named "viserion" after a dragon from game of thrones
i got so wrapped up finishing something that its literally the next day...
on top of that this was the last day of the boies since these are the last 4 i made, im so sorry, i entirely forgot about this
Castoroides
Known as a giant beaver for being exactly that, it reached sizes close to 2 meters, it was also adapted to spend a long time under water
ALT: unlike modern beavers its tail was not paddle like, and it likely didnt build dams or have any of the more complex behavior
hope youve been enjoying the boies, had been a while since i had looked at em myself
