Day 5 of #mermay! Today we have Prorastomus, the ancient ancestor of modern day Sirenia (manatee & dugong) that lived 40 million years ago. Unlike it's aquatic descendants, the fossils indicate it was more terrestrial-based. #mermay2021

Here's old, outdated reconstruction of a tanystropheid - where it's elongate cervical (neck) vertebra were treated as extension of phalanges (pterosaur wings). Now it's accepted they likely were long-necked aquatic animals, based on its wonderful fossils (check out its skull!)

Many fossil mandibles and maxillae of Homo have multiple mental or infraorbital foramina. This happens when the nerves or vessels branch more deeply within the bone, instead of in the superficial tissue. It's not clear why this was more common in some past populations.
Lucigenus...
... The Hallucigenia Pokemon - Psychic
Its primitive brain should not be capable of psychic power, yet it can create an odd, hallucinatory space around it when threatened. Even studying its fossils had anomalous effects that inflicts confusion onto researchers.
Mmmmm fossil jam
