All in all, another great year for #temnospondyl research, looking forward to what 2026 has in store! (I have a few things still cooking) [END]

Photographs and interpretive line drawings of various skulls of Plagiosternum granulosum from the Late Triassic of Germany. The skull is much wider than long, as is typical for plagiosaurids, and broadly parabolic. The orbits are greatly enlarged, taking up more than half the length of the skull, with a very narrow interorbital region; similarly large interpterygoid vacuities occur on the palate. Figure from Schoch et al. (2025).

Photograph and illustration of a specimen of the stereospondylomorph Glanochthon lellbachae from the early Permian of Germany. The skeleton is nearly complete and articulated, though it is flattened dorsoventrally such that elements normally found ventral to others like the jaws and pectoral girdle are splayed to the side. The impression of the tail is fully preserved, giving a clear indication of the full length of the tail relative to the torso. Figure from Werneburg (2025)

Photograph and illustration of the skull of the new neotype of the early Permian dissorophid Aspidosaurus chiton, from Texas, in dorsal view. The skull is an orange-brown color, longer than wide, and largely undistorted. Figure from Gee et al. (2025).

Comparison of the four predominant tissue types found in the pectoral girdle samples of the Late Triassic metoposaurid Metoposaurus krasiejowensis from Poland, imaged under circular cross-polarized light: (a) interwoven structural fibered matrix; (b) coarse PFB; (c) fine PFB; (d) LB fibered matrix. Figure from Kalita et al. (2025).

The yearly round-up of #temnospondyl research from the past year for the first #FossilFriday post of the year: once again, a lot of stuff on European taxa but also a great mix of researchers involved in all sorts of interesting work!

#paleoart #sciart #temnospondyl

#temnovember2025 day 13: Habrosaurus
Sharing enviroment with some of the most iconic megafauna of the #mesozoic, we found the thirteen entry of #temnovember, #Habrosaurus, a large sirenid from the upper #cetaceous and lower #cenozoic
#paleoart #sciart #temnospondyl #amphibian

#temnovember2025 day 12: Funcusvermis
Ok, now we have a couple of taxa that might be a bit controversial for #temnovember (due to them being lissamphibians), starting with #Funcusvermis,a stem-caecilian from the late #Triassic
#paleoart #sciart #amphibian #temnospondyl #caecilian

#temnovember2025 day 11: Broiliellus

TEMNOS (Temnospondyl Evolution, Morphology, Nomenclature, and Other Stuff) v1.1.0 This is the second release of the TEMNOS database, which contains three metadata files, four data files, an overarching README, a README for each data file, and a contributing document. Refer to the l...

For #TemnospondylTuesday, I finally got the next version of the TEMNOS database out!

Data: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...
Preprint: osf.io/preprints/os...

v1.1.0 mainly boosts the sample size of all constituent datasets after fully sampling all #temnospondyl clades (previously omitted fossil-rich clades)

Photograph and illustration of the skull of the new neotype of Aspidosaurus chiton in dorsal view. The skull is an orange-brown color, longer than wide, and largely undistorted.

New paper out today in @zoojlinnsoc.bsky.social for #FossilFriday AKA here's-Bryan's-one-paleo-paper-this-year-to-remind-people-I-still-do-paleo-sometimes: a revision of the #Permian #dissorophid #temnospondyl Aspidosaurus chiton based on a new specimen: doi.org/10.1093/zool... (1/n)

Oh hey look at that, it's my birthday, here, have temno:D
#paleoart #temnospondyl

Anakin-Padme meme where Anakin says "we're going to do a big data study on temnos" and Padme says "you're going to consult a temno expert right?" Anakin doesn't respond and Padme repeats herself.

Feeling spicy today
