To understand how their neck's evolve I'll have to do a full diagram of their skeleton's evolution past the stage shown here! Long answer short similar to how tetrapods evolved a neck but not quite word for word. https://t.co/DGocoo8d7z

Cutting through the ocean's surface, Aestulback Drifters have cut out a niche for themselves. Despite their heavy appearance, these Pterosaurs are surface water predators. Ramming right into aquatic tetrapods trying to breath and eating them alive.

ICYMI: The new fish relative debuted this week, and despite being cousin to tetrapods, was thoroughly aquatic. You could say it was a bit of a backslider. https://t.co/PWsckCtJv0

In particular, the scene showing the evolution of vertebrates is especially well done. The screen transitions smoothly and succinctly illustrate the major evolutionary steps from jawless fish to the ancestors of tetrapods. It’s a great example of animation’s endless potential.

And from the vault iconic future critters the Ocean Flish from TFIW stands remarkable, these constitute a bizarre new radiation of vertebrates from the ocean after tetrapods were wipe out of the face of earth, becoming one of the many recovering animals on 200 m.y.

In other tetrapods, the openings are either very small or totally absent (the palate is formed entirely by bone; 📷: Witzmann & Werneburg 2017)...but modern frogs and salamanders have these giant palatal openings as well (📷: Eocene frog Thaumastosaurus; Laloy et al. 2013)!

Hi, I am Gabriel and I am a paleoartist and scientific illustrator. I illustrate/reconstruct both extant and extinct animals, particularly tetrapods (although lately I have done quite a lot of invertebrates) 😊

Ocepechelon bouyai; the giant, tube-snouted Protostegid sea turtle from the Late Cretaceous seas of Morocco. The strange rostrum of this reptile is unique among tetrapods, and paleontologists have compared it to the snouts of beaked whales and Pipefish.
