#Solnhofen #avialans suggest that
#Alcmonavis & #Ostromia *might*
be the same as #Archaeopteryx 👀
This is exciting!

This species is one of the several extinct pycnogonids/sea spiders from the Jurassic of Western Europe. It’s also the only fossil one to be assigned to a current genus due to the striking similarities with modern species. The golem part in its name refers to the ancient and mineral nature of the holotype compared to other Eurycyde’s species.

Size : a bit more than 0,5cm of main body length, around 2,5/3cm of legspan
Time period : Late Jurassic
Paleoart speculativometer : Few missing parts

The animal drawn look like a red spider-figure without abdomen, with really long legs

A staff member holding the horseshoe crab specimen. Behind it the cabinet containing the other Solnhofen specimens can be seen. The crab itself is the size of a palm and it’s main body is a characteristic horseshoe shape with a long tail.

A close up of the horseshoe crab showing in more detail the exceptional preservation of the specimen. It looks like a perfect impression of the animal.

The first #FossilFriday of 2026 is this beautifully preserved horseshoe crab.
 
This horseshoe crab is from the Limulus genus and was found in Solnhofen, a site known for its exceptional preservation of fossils.

Zwei Baby-Flugsaurier lösen das Rätsel von Solnhofen Folgenreicher Unfall: Vor 150 Millionen Jahren machten zwei neugeborene Flugsaurier in Süddeutschland ihre ersten Flugversuche – mit tragischem Ausgang: Die Baby-Pterosaurier stürzten ab und starben. Doch ihre im Solnhofener Plattenkalk konservierten Fossilien haben nun ein großes Rätsel dieser berühmten Fossilfundstätte gelöst: Sie erklären, warum dort fast nur kleine, junge Pterosaurier-Exemplare gefunden werden, größere Skelette hingegen kaum. scinexx

There’s so many amazing invertebrates known from Jurassic rocks in Europe, but they rarely if ever get artistic attention. So, here’s a sketch of Abyssophthalmus mirus being a pain on Protospinax’s snout as it’s attempting to have a crab dinner. #jurassic #solnhofen #paleoart #crab

🚨 NEW PTEROSAUR! 🚨

Skiphosoura bavarica was a monofenestratan #pterosaur from the #Solnhofen, and it’s very important to our understanding of the #evolution of the pterosaur body plan!

Please consider reposting my art if you can! Your interest means a ton as I start posting here more!

Solche fossilen Quallenabdrücke finde ich immer wieder beeindruckend!
#Quallen bestehen zwar fast nur aus Wasser und sind echt wabbelig. Aber ihre Kollagenfasern machen sie dennoch fest genug, um Abdrücken auf dem Meeresboden zu hinterlassen.
