Lepidodendron: or 'the scale tree" was a genus of primitive, vascular, tree-like plant related to the club mosses. They reached heights of over 30m (100 ft), with trunks over 1m (3.3 ft) in diameter. They thrived between 359-299 MYA.

Hanging with the most complete skull of at 's paleontology collection while at Found at , this massive had canines the size of soda cans. This is, hands down, my favorite mammal fossil ever!

It's not a garlic. Or maybe it is?

Inaria is a shallow water thingy that lived 550 million years ago. Its fossils have been found in Australia and Russia. It's a ~mysterious~ creature but paleontologists suspect it might be related to corals and jellyfishes.

Almost forgot here's some of azhdarchid pterosaurs wandering over a riverbank, seen from above. Their pacing matches that of the azhdarchid ichnofossil, Haenamichnus, one of the only pterosaur tracks with an ID beyond 'pterosaur indet'.

For here's my take on the mid-sized azhdarchoid Thalassodromeus. There's some neat features on the skull of this animal which probably relate to facial tissues - I wrote about them at my blog not so long ago: https://t.co/IxWpLHJ1FL

On this, the eve of St. Patrick's Day, I only want to remind you that our distant relatives, Dimetrodon and Sphenacodon (Permian synapsids) had appropriately-shaped tooth roots in cross-section...

Should have the colour balance issue fixed by next week.

For a quick poll: which of these pterosaur images would you rather see in Life through the Ages II: Nyctosaurus or Hatzegopteryx? Both are awesome species, and I only have one pterosaur slot.

For a rarely seen comparison between giant azhdarchid pterosaurs and a large male giraffe (yes, they can get this big!). Pterosaurs are Arambourgiania (left) and Hatzegopteryx - slender and robust takes on the giant azhdarchid bauplan. is the scale bar.
