#Nothosaurs were pretty much the reptile equivalent of seals during the #Triassic!

Fleming Fjord, Late Triassic ecosystem.
Cyclotosaurus, Gerrothorax, Ptychoceratodus, ganoid fishes and Plateosaurus skeleton.
Did giant ichthyosaurs swim in pods, and migrate to give birth? Just like whales do today, but in the Triassic? We think so, at least based on a spectacular site in eastern Nevada called Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park... 1/

#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
#paleoart #sciart #amphibian #temnospondyl
#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 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
#paleoart #sciart #temnospondyl #amphibian
Researchers from the Federal University of Santa Maria working with a colleague from the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, have identified a new species of Triassic-era reptile that was unearthed recently at a dig site in Brazil.

Results from the #paleostream!
In this #FormationStream we explored the Chinle Formation! Triassic glory for everyone!
#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
Like the band playing on the deck of the Titanic I will post Dinovembers on here as long as I can. Here we have Guizhouichthyosaurus from the Triassic, of which one individual died with the remains of a large thalattosaur in its stomach. It bit off more than it can chew...
#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 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
I have finished Silesaurus opolensis, firsts of few triassic creatures from Poland I want to draw
#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
#paleoart #sciart #temnospondyl #triassic #amphibian #metoposaurus
For #FossilFriday here's a Triassic enigma that I got more insight on while researching Hessinodon: Pseudodalatias
Despite being 180 ma older and of a completely different lineage from Dalatias, it has very similar teeth, down to how they are shed (the entire row at once!)
didn't end up picking a coelurosaur, but a triassic early theropod instead, bcs i remembered that you don't need to be a coelurosaur to have fuzz...
so here's a little zupaya design i may or may not end up working on. might just make the head.
Happy #NationalFossilDay! Our November cover article describes a new specimen of Irajatherium hernandezi, a poorly known non-mammaliaform cynodont from the Late Triassic of southern Brazil by @KerberLeonardo, @agu_martinelli, @FlavioAPretto et al.
