Check out our 🚨New paper🚨 in in which we argue that the weird cranial anatomy of the Carboniferous chimaera Iniopera are adaptations to suction feeding. Thread to follow at some point today!

Ahhh, it's finally out!
"A possible home for a bizarre Carboniferous animal: is Typhloesus a pelagic gastropod?"
Was fun to work on this as part of the big Dawn of Life Gallery at the ROM.

The enigmatic Carboniferous organism Typhloesus has been reinterpreted as a mollusc and potentially a gastropod. Look at its little radula ('toothed tongue")!

Another 'weird wonder' funding a home on the evolutionary tree of life? The Typhloesus had a mollusc-like radula and preyed on conodonts.

You know that feeling when you just need to throw down an idea like a raw lump of clay? Arthropleura taking advantage of the pithy centre of a Lepidodendron damaged in a severe Carboniferous wind storm.

Welcome to Day 3 of We hope you are enjoying the tweets and activities so far!

Today we are taking you later into the Carboniferous - the environment has shifted and Yorkshire is now part of an enormous tropical river delta.

Here, during the Viséan age, Lower Carboniferous, swamps covered the territory that would become Scotland. They were home of unusual giants: arthropods and arborescent lycophytes grew to extraordinary sizes.

I might use the word "giant" a lot in this thread!

What are some of your favorite fringe hypotheses in paleontology? One of mine is the idea that Carboniferous coal was formed from floating forests and not swamps.

Thanks, I'm having a lot of fun fleshing it out, when I'm done I will have a life sized reconstruction of the apex predator of the carboniferous skies.

Flying high over a Carboniferous forest, this amazing dragonfly model is the latest addition to our 's Willner Madge Gallery, - it was made by ROM resident artist extraordinaire Georgia Guenther, her last project before her retirement 🌊

Harpagofututor, another Carboniferous "eel" related to ratfish/ghost sharks (Holocephali), with toothplates for shell-crushing. The name ("grappling hook copulator") is for the males' head-clasper "antlers", which females bit during mating! (Nix Illustration)
