A sketch from tonight’s flocking-together #Paleostream, the Pliocene salamander Dynamognathus robertsoni! So happy that this little creature from Tennessee was finally chosen for a flocking, here depicted chomping on one of many contemporary shrew species. #paleoart #sciart #cenozoic #grayfossilsite

happy #fossilfriday! this is lyrarapax, a radiodont from middle cambrian china. incredibly, the holotype preserves details of the animal’s nervous system, indicating that their raptorial frontal appendages were protocerebral, as was its labum

A black-and-white pencil illustration of a scene in a shortleaf-pine/oak savanna, in the hills of the Alabama piedmont region. A jaguar leaps into frame and has grabbed a turkey in the air, as three other turkeys scatter into the air and into the surrounding tall grasses. A fox squirrel watches from high up in an oak tree, and a short-tailed shrew forages at the base of a tree in the foreground.

In a Shortleaf Pine/Oak savanna in the piedmont region of Alabama, during an otherwise calm winter day, a Jaguar leaps from cover to snatch a Turkey while a Fox Squirrel and Short-tailed Shrew observe from nearby. A vision of the past, and potentially the future. #wildlife #wildlifesociety #alabama

Late women's day post:
To celebrate, this is Tilly Edinger (suggested by @skyemcdavid.com), a jewish german paleontologist with disabled hearing and pioneer of paleoneurology. She studied the brains of extinct animals including pterosaurs.

This arachnid is among the largest vinegaroon species alive, reaching 6 cm in body length. This endemic mexican species is part of a wide species complex spanning over Mexico & southern U.S.A.

Size: up to 6cm in body length
Time period: Holocene (present day)
Conservation status: Least concern to Near Threatened

The animal drawn is a vinegaroon, an arachnid looking a bit like a scorpion with long thin first legs used as antennae, and it has a raised opisthosoma, ready to defend itself

A black-and-white pencil drawing of a scene in the fictional world of Kaimere. In a dense mixed Pine-Hardwood forest along the eastern edge of the continent Ni’Khar, a large Fireback terror bird steps out into a clearing. It is staring into the foreground, at a mother Unicorn (cousin of giraffes) protectively standing next to her newborn calf. A Kaimeran Rhinoceros is standing a little further in the background with its head raised, looking at the Fireback, so the terror bird may not get the easy meal it was looking for.

In the forest of western Ni’Khar, a Fireback finds itself between two Unicorns in search of an easy meal. With both a protective mother and a defensive neighbor, the calf may survive its first day. A scene in #Kaimere, setting and creatures are creations of @talesofkaimere.bsky.social. #specevo
