Pederpes

One of the most basal tetrapods, at a meter in lenght its the earliest known terrestrial vertebrate, its feet being more adapted to land than paddle like

ALT: while modern amphibians breath using a throat pouch, these animals used muscles to pump air into the lungs

Didn’t have time today until now but here it is. The sketch for Day 7 of the Carboniferous week. Spathicephalus (a baphettoid stem-tetrapod) about to gulp one of the two passing legless Acherontiscus (an adelospondyl stem-tetrapod), not it’s usual prey

Carboniferous sketches. Day 1. It’s spawning season for the super long-tailed nectridean Urocordylus wandesfordii. Nectrideans are a group of tetrapods that includes animals like Diplocaulus. Late Carboniferous of Europe

In other tetrapods, the openings are either very small or totally absent (the palate is formed entirely by bone; 📷: Witzmann & Werneburg 2017)...but modern frogs and salamanders have these giant palatal openings as well (📷: Eocene frog Thaumastosaurus; Laloy et al. 2013)!

Hi, I am Gabriel and I am a paleoartist and scientific illustrator. I illustrate/reconstruct both extant and extinct animals, particularly tetrapods (although lately I have done quite a lot of invertebrates) 😊

Ocepechelon bouyai; the giant, tube-snouted Protostegid sea turtle from the Late Cretaceous seas of Morocco. The strange rostrum of this reptile is unique among tetrapods, and paleontologists have compared it to the snouts of beaked whales and Pipefish.

At the end of the Early Permian Caseids reached the size limits any pelicosaur could grow, being Alierasaurus ronchii, from Sandinia, the biggest of all with a estimated length of 6 to 7 m, probably the largest land tetrapod of the paleozoic known.

This rosy-cheeked cod (Gadus amelia), caught off the Icelandic coast, is the only fish that possesses mammal-like hair, a discovery which will rewrite our understanding of tetrapod zoology as soon as the ichthyologists are finished shouting at each other.

The Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri) is one of the six living species of lungfish in the world. They belong to class Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fish), from which the ancestor of tetrapods (amphibians, reptiles, and mammals) has evolved

I'm not yet completly late for Here's the West Indian Ocean coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae), one of the two living species of coelacanths. They are more closely related to lungfish and tetrapods than to ray-finned fish

Learned today that the earliest known, fully terrestrial tetrapod was named PeDERPes.

And the google image search didn't disappoint.

Watch 👀 as the humerus evolves from an aquatic fish (purple) to a land going tetrapod (orange)!

Research by brings us 'one step' closer to unraveling the tetrapod transition to land. Study shows that changes to the bone at the origin of limbs altered its function & improved the capacity for limb-based land locomotion. https://t.co/s6mMDqYOU2

Originally, I had planned to hopefully do 2 books. The first one about the tetrapods of the Triassic and Jurassic, and the second one about the Cretaceous. However, as I have worked on it, the first book has become humongous!
