The Chengjiang, peaceful for once in a while, due to a distinct lack of giant Omnidens terrorizing everything. An experiment/attempt to recreate that painterly, impressionist look.

@IV757975026 The Megamouth Hurdiid is pretty great. I’ve been following it’s progress. Apparently there is another, even larger Hurdiid oral cone from a lagerstätten in Australia.
@BrandThorsten This one is close to the base of the Lobopod tree. It’s probably from the group that heavily specializes their frontal appendages, but not for raptorial purposes; the “nodes” on the back of Hadranax also puts it alongside Xenusion; quite basal.
@ni075 Here’s mine if you’re interested. Obviously the whole body is speculative, so we just have to guess.
Okay, we already have #Inktober, and #Dinovember, but here’s a proposal.
March of the Lobopods.
In March.
Thought?
Today is #halloween2019, and perhaps no Lobopod is spookier than the giant king of the Chengjiang reef, Omnidens amplus, the “all-tooth-titan”. Somewhere around 1.5 meters in length, this animal could’ve preyed on even the largest contemporary anomalocarids. #Paleoart
@DragonManDanie1 @jimmadseni No worries he’ll be fine
I’ve been told this is pg enough for twitter. Tyrannosaurus rex being struck by the airblast of the Chicxulub impactor, the meteor that killed the non-avian dinosaurs. Good morning.

#Opabinia is often depicted as cute. Because it is. It’s really cute. But even then, I still tried to make it scary this time. Opabinia regalis was one of two species of Opabinia that made the Burgess Shale its home. A great and famous Lobopod.
