Ouranosaurus nigeriensis
by Antonin Jury
This cousin of Iguanodon's lived in what is now Niger in the Early Cretaceous. Its sail started growing as it reached maturity and likely helped it attract mates.

Cenozoic Grasslands // @franzanth
Around 30 million years ago, grasslands started to spread across the globe. These plants grew hardier, forcing mammals from tiny rodents to big grazers like horses to adapt and diversify.

Sarmientosaurus musacchioi // @JoschuaKnuppe
It had a small brain, but its massive eye sockets indicated a sharp vision, a unique discovery among the sauropods. Due to their gigantic size, sauropods are rarely preserved and found as a complete animal.
Late Devonian // @franzanth
The early forests of Late Devonian altered the environment, forcing animals to adapt. Creatures like Tiktaalik, a transitional animal showing traits of both fish and amphibians, lived in this period.

@JoschuaKnuppe That’s right! We'll also give the ebook version to 3 people whose artwork we think deserve the following titles:
· Downright dank
· Meme game on point
· This is borderline unacceptable
Feel free to interpret this as you wish. #paleostream

Archaeopteryx lithographica // @franzanth
The discovery of this "first bird” from the Jurassic Period Germany in 1861 ignited the idea that birds descended from dinosaurs. Despite this, it likely couldn't fly and spent most of its time on the ground.
