Since almost all tetrapods, had/have lips covering their teeth it would take more evidence than just having an odd skull shape and being semiaquatic to justify reconstructing Spinosaurids without any lips. Even most semiaquatic animals have covered teeth, like hippos. (3/6)

There's probably some common thread here that starts with a T, but I can't think of anything better, so...

Here is a tetrapod-related off theme to tide you over while I work on a bunch of stuff today. Tropical frog commission!

For here's a private commission of Tiktaalik I completed earlier this year. It took some time to get the body shape right as there's lots of subtle nuances to tetrapodomorph anatomy. They weren't just gars with funky heads and limbs.

A finishing touch to my presentation!

If you want to hear some exciting news on the evolution of seals, I'll be presenting on Wednesday in the Marine Tetrapods session at 11:45am

Beaks have appeared separately numerous times in tetrapod evolution. I have depicted 5 examples here: dicynodonts (top left), pantestudines (center), rhynchosaurs (top right), shuvosaurid pseudosuchians (bottom left) and ceratopsian dinosaurs (bottom right)

Propatagia (the membrane on the leading edge of the forearm) - always add them when designing flying tetrapod creatures!

(in order: Chicky the Moluccan cockatoo, horseshoe bat, colugo/flying lemur, Haopterus by )

Model systems for regeneration: salamanders
In the first of a new series of Primers, Alberto Joven, & András Simon survey salamanders, the tetrapods with the widest range of regenerative capacity

The thing about coelacanths is that every single one of them LOOKS like they were there 400 million years ago for the birth of tetrapods, and they've been regretting it ever since

I love their personalities. They get all sorts of grumpy with me when they have to "walk" on land (wet paper towels) once a year to demonstrate early tetrapod evolution to my students.

I needed to take a break from reconstructing Triassic and Jurassic and other tetrapods, so I decided to go back to one of my favorite groups: Cretaceous This is a quick reconstruction of Eotyrannus lengi. This one of or

I am happiest when I'm drawing fish, but sometimes people ask me for tetrapods or plants or whatever. In the photo I'm standing next to an illustration I did while working in Javier Maldonado's lab, which I'm not sure will ever be published now.

Another creature for week 1 of the course, now a human/tetrapod hybrid! If you find this guy quite an unpleasant type, I succeeded :)

I'm taking creature anatomy course Terryl Whitlatch, very excited about it :) Here's a part of my assignment for the 1st week, needed to design a tetrapod and do an anatomical chart.

Today is and it is also so I thought it was the perfect chance to show you part of the trees of the tetrapods of theSolnhofen Formation from Germany that will appear on my in-prep book. Part of the pterosaur tree from Solnhofen

oldie but goldie, all the way to the Devonian. Tetrapodomorph Elpistostege (close relative of the famous Tiktaalik) with pair of armored Bothriolepis.
