Sangaia lavinai
Um temnospôndilo (animais semelhantes aos anfíbios atuais) que teve seu fossil encontrado no município de Cachoeira do Sul (RS). Pertencendo ao grupo Rhytidosteidae, Sangaia mostra como esses animais estavam espalhados pelo mundo quando o supercontinente Pangeia +
Today's gastropod is the Rainbow Shell from Chrono Trigger! It is seemingly the fossil of an ancient, huge sea creature, compressed and refined by the unreal powers of Lavos's crashing into the planet #snail

We used 1600 fossil occurrences of non-marine vertebrates from North America to explore the trophic & niche dynamics across the K/Pg mass extinction

I then posed 2 virtual Zuuls to see how they may have fought. Amazingly, there was only one position that allowed them to mutually strike each other with the same injury patterns seen on the fossil!
I rendered 3 different compositions based on this, and sent them to the authors
Meet Mammound and its evolution Mountusk, the Rock/Ice type Fossil Pokémon of Tekano! You can get Mammound after reviving it from the Tusk Fossil. #Fakemon #Fakemonart #Pokemon
Meet Velocivolt and its evolution Electraptor, the Rock/Electric type Fossil Pokémon of Tekano! You get Velocivolt after reviving it from the Talon Fossil. #Fakemon #Fakemonart #Pokemon
Got a fun video about new Fossil Pokémon coming out tomorrow! can you guess this little guys name?
Saurfuel and Carsaurfuel, the fossil fuel and automobile pokemon! Carsaurfuel helps people with transport by allowing them to ride inside of its exposed ribcage, the people guiding its movement with its wheel-like jawbone. #Pokemon #pokemonart

And here we have Diversaur, with this pokemon I based myself on the idea of erroneous reconstructions and adaptation, with a fossil version and a modern one

Kulindadromeus was very cute. It’s fossil material is also immaculate.

A huge reason that evolution is hard to imagine for some people and "easy" to "debunk" for some is the lack of present-day seemingly "transitionary" organisms. And also a need for knowledge on the tons of transitionary taxa preserved in the fossil record.
Our skulls contain many of the same bones as extinct dinosaurs. See human and Spinosaurus below for comparison. One major difference is that mammal skulls have a much greater degree of fusion than dinos - which is why dinosaur skulls are often found disarticulated.

@Nature @Torresaurus_rex @PeiChenKuo3 @fieldpalaeo This is all reflected in our name for the fossil, referencing the two-faced Janus, Roman god of beginnings and endings. Janavis, one of the last toothed birds, lived alongside the early modern bird, Asteriornis (wonderchicken). The twilight of one Era, and the dawn of the next!
