# drawing hildanetflix fossilfriday エルトモルヒピス

Sometimes, being underwater can be relaxing. You get to see nothing but blue around you... until something blocks the view
In Hilda's case, however, it's an odd sight: an Eretmorhipis on its way towards the shore

Eretmorhipis was an Early Triassic hupehsuchian. Not only did it have a stiff bony tube of a body formed from its ribs, but its still looks like a platypus’. It even had extremely small eyes and mechanoreceptors on its snout.

Yes, but there would be some indication in the skeleton. Compare the clearly visible "claw" on a sea turtle flipper (pic via CalPhotos) to the reduced tips of the digits of Eretmorhipis (from the paper I cited)
