@LittleBaardo Some derived Hurdiids (Aegirocassis, named after Ægir, Norse god of the sea) inspired by images of the Hindenburg. These titans were ~2 meters long

Okay. So while I find Xenusion a little drab compared to other Lobopods, it’s still important. It’s the biggest non-dinocaridid Lobopod out there (about 20 cm), and it is one of the first anatomically modern, mobile animals in the fossil record.

Okay. You asked, I did it, even though it was hell to draw.

Acinocrinus stichus, “row of thorny rings”. This was a giant “Collins Monster” type Lobopodian, extremely tank animals. Acinocrinus took this to a new level.

More to come soon.

According to a thesis by @deak_michael, Tyrannosaurus may have had asymmetrical ears, much like an owl. Here’s a scaly version of the feathery “dish” concept (based on owls), drawn in about 6 minutes.

Aegirocassis was the largest Anomalocarid known to exist, and it had many blimp-like qualities. This drawing I made is meant to evoke images of the Hindenburg. Grey scale Anomalocarids are great.
