(These are all pretty jokey)
1: Where are all the flying crabs?
2: What if the originally "misinterpreted" tanystropheus fossils WERE of a flying animal?
3: What if the elephant shrew becomes the platybelodon shrew, or "shroop"?
4: What if pterosaurs undergo carcinization?

are a pretty massive group of arthropods that spanned from the early Cambrian to the Permian.. They're so common that they make excellent index fossils, meaning they can be used to date other fossils within their strata. This one is based on the genus Paradoxides!

A small WIP preview of one of our thalattosaurs. This strange creature swam in the warm shallow seas of Switzerland ~240ish million years ago. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess...

Dow's Puffin wasn't the only bird breeding on the Channel Islands. The massive bonebeds of San Miguel Island also preserve fossils of the Ancient Murrelet, Cassin's Auklet and the flightless seaduck Chendytes lawi.

Could little Susan Hendrickson ever have imagined she would find a T-rex one day??? Still crazy when I think about someone discovering actual dinosaur fossils 🤯

Super cool! Lystrosaurus fossils preserving mummified skin! My choices for these Lystrosaurus for my book seem to hold well for what I see. If someone has a pdf of the paper and can send it to me I’d greatly appreciate it https://t.co/vhd4yX0rJL

We have many fossils that show O. Megalodon was an active predator like todays sharks.

Because Lagerstätten are incredibly good at preservation, we can get the earliest representatives of organisms like Syllipsimopodi, an early ancestor of octopus. These finds help fill in the missing pieces to the Tree of Life.
