More thoughts on Cretalamna today. The most unexpected thing about the body fossils is the position of the first dorsal fin above the pectorals. In all other lamniforms, the first dorsal is behind the pectorals.

Although these fossils tell a tale of ice age titans, they also tell of the decline of the Avaluggs of Hisui in a few centuries, losing their tundras and being unable to adapt.

~500 million years ago: in a relative short time of 20 million years many organisms with hard outer shells evolve, some bizarre, like Anomalocaris, some today common fossils, like trilobites

I love these 19th century palaeobotanical illustrations.
I started my path studying plant fossils looking at this one:

November 10, 1852, died British geologist Gideon Algernon Mantell who was quite puzzled by strange fossils found in 1822 https://t.co/p9xdqc8nwX Famous for the scientific description of 1st herbivorous dinosaur - Iguanodon - a genus of this group was named after him 🦕

Watched Scooby-Doo Legend of the Phantosaur and all I could think about for the whole film was how 1) that’s not an Allosaurus and 2) you would not find Allosaurus and Massospondylus fossils in the same rock layer cause they lived 30 million years apart.

This is a cry for help.

WIP: At first I wanted to include the OG Omas and Kabuts, making only slight changes to their colors to balance out the rest of the fossils. Now? The goal is to make them more like Atlantean guards and proper regional formes. Suggestions welcome!

This is the Jurassic Beach. This place displays amazingly well preserved fossils coming out of the sand and rocks... exactly like in real life. In various localities in Portugal, such as Faro or Albufeira, some beaches are well known fossil hunting spots.
