Aegirocassis
The earliest giant filter feeder known to date, likely the largest in the world at that time, it was also surprisingly well preserved
Alt: Its name comes form Aegir, the norse personification of the sea with daughters representing the waves, and host of the gods
Aegirocassis is possibly my favourite prehistoric creature, and definitely one of the weirdest, so I drew a somewhat surreal one!

Results from the #paleostream.
Omnidens, Rutiodon, Aegirocassis and Incisivosaurus.
I'm not happy how the Rutiodon turned out, shame on me.

#paleostream flocking together! Aegirocassis, rutiodon, incisivosaurus & gummy worm omnidens
Decided to hop on #paleostream after over a year of not doing it. Actually really fun being told what to draw with a time limit for a change. Aegirocassis, Rutiodon (with background Rauisuchid) and Incisivosaurus #sciart #paleoart
Finally participated in a #paleostream, had an amazing time and doing those quicker sketches is great practice (still gotta practice those tho)
Omindens, Rutiodon, Aegirocassis and Incisivosaurus (I'm sorry)
I'll properly draw Aegirocassis at some point, love the sketch
This new #Cambrian critter is fascinating; related to the predator Anomalocaris and filter-feeder Aegirocassis but living like neither, it seems to be a mud-grubbing sweep-feeder, like some of the eurypterids that evolved later in the Paleozoic. #fossils

@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

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.
