"Monkey" is a paraphyletic group, unless we include the apes.

"Fish" is a paraphyletic group, unless we include the tetrapods (mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians).

So, if we stick to monophyletic groups, humans are monkeys, which are a type of fish.

This reconstruction of Torvosaurus tanneri will appear in my book as part of one of the three cladogram depicting part of the tetrapod fauna of the Morrison Fm. I have taken out the other from the plate, you’ll have to wait to see them in the book 😋

Spent the morning reading about maximum body size in marine tetrapods, and how baleen whales achieve their remarkable size because of awesome feeding efficiency. Sorry folks, blue whale-sized marine reptiles are very unlikely: Shonisaurus et al. are likely as big as they got.

We are sad to hear of the passing of council member, Prof Jenny Clack. At our AGM this year we were due to announce that she was awarded the Palaeontographical Society Medal for her outstanding lifetime's work on early tetrapods. A great loss, she'll be missed by all of us.

The greater tetrapods are these guys:

Speedpaint/sketch. Woke up today and had this idea of depicting a swimming Acanthostega (a well known aquatic Devonian stegocephalian stem-tetrapod from Greenland). Who can say no to depicting these cool animals with eight digits?!
