I study animals from the Cambrian, so they’re my go-to subjects. Particularly animals known as Radiodonts and Lobopods (Hallucigenia, Opabinia, Anomalocaris, the whole gang)

Hope you’re all having an okay week. Here’s your occasional reminder that large marine lobopods survived for a long time after the Cambrian - Tully Monsters would have lived alongside some of them. Put more lobopods in your non-Cambrian paleoart, there’s my recommendation.

Never enough Lobopods. Honorary Omnidens, and one of my personal favs, Rhombocorniculum

I do paleoart, mostly cambrian stuff like lobopods and radiodonts, but I also do a bit of horror art on the side. You can see a bit of that influence sleep through into the black/white/red Omnidens.

mostly Lobopods. Compiling illustrations of every species for a larger project.

Okay, we already have and but here’s a proposal.

March of the Lobopods.
In March.

Thought?

I hit 2000 followers! In honour of that, here’s a visual demonstration of the ‘eversion’ of a Gilled lobopodians mouth (Vinther et al, 2016). In this case it’s the king of the Lobopods, Omnidens amplus, feeding on several Paucipodia.

I just finished the last drawing in my series of Lobopods. I have now essentially drawn *every* Lobopod capable of being drawn. Almost all of them over summer break. And now, with all of these Lobopods, I can move onto...

They’re the ancestors of bugs. Modern Lobopods include tardigrades and velvet worms, but their extinct forms include Hallucigenia, Anomalocaris, Opabinia, et cetera. The first image of these four is my reconstruction of Acinocrinus

Okay. So while I find Xenusion a little drab compared to other Lobopods, it’s still important. It’s the biggest non-dinocaridid Lobopod out there (about 20 cm), and it is one of the first anatomically modern, mobile animals in the fossil record.

Actually, it’s closest living relative besides all living arthropods, is velvet worms. They’re from a group called Lobopods.
