Two large Temnospondyls for my licensing library, which was sorely needing more Temnospondyls
First, Prionosuchus plummeri from Early Permian South America
Second, Siderops kehli from Early Jurassic Australia
Such an amazing experience! My illustration was used in article about neoplasm on Metoposaurus vertebra. Got a chance to work with references like CT scans, 3d models, to consult my work with team specialists led by dr @DawidSurmik and to learn new things about Temnospondyli 1/2
After an Early Permian down pour washed nutrients from the surrounding forests into a shallow lagoon, a following heat spell caused an algal bloom of cyanobacteria. This can become toxic and reduce oxygen in the water. This poor Prionosuchus, a large temnospondyl, succumbed to it
#Temnovember2022 day 28: Xenobrachyops
For the twenty eighth day of #temnovember we got our selfs a small #brachyopid from the rivers of early #Triassic Australia, #Xenobrachyops

#Temnovember2022 day 27: Wantzosaurus
Is the day 27 of #temnovember and it's the turn for #Wantzosaurus, a relatively small marine #trematosaur from the early #Triassic of Madagascar
#paleoart #sciart #amphibian #temnospondyl
#Temnovember2022 day 25 : Uranocentrodon
And so, we arrive at the final stretch of #temnovember, there for, it's time for #Uranocentrodon, a surprisingly large #rhinesuchid from the late Permian of Africa

#temnovember2022 day 21 :Rotaryus
It´s the twenty first of #temnovember, and we got a small #dissorophoid from the early permian of germany, #Rotaryus

#temnovember2022 day 20: Qantas
And so we are down to the final third of #temnovember and we go with #Qantas, a Qantasinid (ngl, that was my best guest) from the early #Triassic of russia

#temnovember2022 day 18: Odenwaldia
Once agian, we are back with #temnovember and so we have #Odenwaldia, a #heylerosaurid with a slender snout from the Triassic of germany
#paleoart #sciart #amphibian #temnospondyl #triassic
#temnovember2022 day 16: Nanolania
From the same continent that broght you Megalania, coming this #temnovember, we have coming frest out of the early #triassic the diminutive #rhytidosteid, #Nanolania
(batteries not included)
#paleoart #sciart #amphibian #temnospondyl
#temnovember2022 day 15: Melanerpeton
And so we arrive to the equator of #temnovember, and we have #Melanerperon a small #branchiosaurid know from excelet preserved specimens that mantain part of the color patern

#temnovember2022 day 14: Lydekkerina
Alright, #temnovember, day fourthteen and we got #Lydekkerina, a basal #stereospondyl with several adaptations for life on land (something a bit uncomon for the group) from the #triassic of Africa and Australia
#paleoart #sciart #temnospondyl
#temnovember2022 day 11: Jammerbergia
Was this the only #temnospondyl starting with "J"?, yes; Does makes it less interesting?, nah; So here we have #Jammerbergia, a #mastodonsaurid from the Triassic of Africa
#paleoart #sciart #amphibian #temnovember #triassic #FossilFriday
#temnovember2022 day 9: Hyperokynodon
So, for the ninth day of #temnovember we have #Hyperokynodon, the largest and latest #trematosaurid, from the upper triassic of Europe
#paleoart #sciart #temnospondyl #amphibian #triassic
#temnovember2022 day 8: Gobiops
For the eighth of #temnovember, we have #Gobiops, a brachyopid #temnospondyl from the upper and middle #jurassic of Asia
#paleoart #sciart #amphibian #temnospondyltuesday #brachyopid
#temnovember2022 day 7: Fedexia
Second week of #temnovember and we got ourselfs a same day shipping #temnospondyl, the trematopid #Fedexia, from late carboniferous north america
#paleoart #sciart #amphibian #carboniferous #trematopid
#temnovember2022 day 4: Eocaecilia
Ok, this might be a bit odd/controversial to include in #temnovember, but here we have it, #eocaecilia, a basal gymnophionan from the Kayenta formation, and all around a good show in #temnospondyl diversity
#paleoart #sciart #caecilan #jurassic
#temnovember2022 day 4: Dendrerpeton
For the fourth day of #temnovember we have one of the most basal and ancient #temnospondyl s, #Dendrerpeton from late carboniferous of North America
#paleoart #sciart #temnospondyl #amphibian #carboniferous #fossilfriday
#temnovember2022 day 1: Anaschisma
And so we begin, first day of #temnovember and what do we have but #Anaschisma, a large metoposaur from the triassic of North America

Midnight sketch: #Chemnitzion richteri. A newly described #temnospondyl from #chemnitz
Chilling in a puddle in the shadows of cordaites, unaware of the volcanic eruption that will end his life and enclose him in tuff.
