A stylised drawing of a tiktaalik, a fish that is theorised to be an early ancestor of most vertebrates, taking its first steps on land having originally lived in the ocean. It's posed in the "Leonardo DiCaprio Strut", with green scales, a cream under belly, brown fins, and yellow eyes. Said scales are glistening in the sun as water droplets fall from the tiktaalik. It walks along a beach, leaving footprints in the sand. Cat tail reeds are found on either side and a deep body of water is behind the creature, gradually becoming a deeper blue the further out it goes. Text circles the image, saying "Going... All Terrain!" with the first section decorated with a water pattern and the second with an dry, earth-like design.

Behold the tiktaalik, ancestor of land vertebrates, taking its first steps on land! Surely nothing bad will happen as a result of its terrestrial adventures.

Three printed greetings cards. The cards are Tiktaalik sitting in a cup of tea with the text below “You’re my cup of Tea-ktaalik”, a blue Deinosuchus sitting on waffles and a trio of Nanuqsaurus ice cream.

First look at the printed test cards for my Tiktaalik’s Tea Room collection! The collection is still up for preorder but there are only a couple of days left! ☕️🫖

A photo of the sticker sheet, on a cosy cottage table. The text reads “Tiktaalik’s Tea Room by the Clever Bunny Company.” The sheet features a Tiktaalik sitting in a cup and saucer of tea, two holding biscuits, as well as some extra smaller stickers of sugar cubes, biscuit and tea bag. The background of the sticker sheet is green check.

Tiktaalik Sticker Sheets are also available for preorder!☕️ So pleased with how these turned out, I’ve been wanting to make sticker sheets for years!

Painterly illustration of the two lobe-finned fish partially resting outside of their freshwater stream environment with muddy banks and a foggy atmosphere.

Devonian illustration for James Stryker's paleoart project featuring the sarcopterygians Tiktaalik and Panderichthys.

Damn this reminds me of an oc I used to have named “GreeNewt” lol

Interessante für mich neue Perspektive: #Tiktaalik war nicht nur der erste "Fisch", der and Land ging u Liegestütze machen konnte (also herumlaufen), sondern hatte auch ans Landleben angepasste Augen.

Does #Tiktaalik freshen your breath?

Tiktaalik slugs its way over a muddy bank in a flooded Devonian landscape while the sun sets over the horizon. Banks of pink and purple clouds loom in front of distant streaks of orange as clear turquoise sky peeks through cloudless regions. Various trees and shrubs stand tall above purple water glistening with gold wavelets. With vision that could probably see in the UV spectrum and eyes beginning to adapt for the infinite visual range provided in aerial habitats, Titaalik pauses to take this all in, being among the first animals that can see the natural world in such detail. All which is to say - the next time you admire sunsets or the night sky, consider what this owes to events of 375 million years ago. When the first vertebrates struggled out of the water they rapidly developed eyes that were much sharper and clearer than those of their fishy ancestors, vision being of variable utility in most freshwater habitats. Millions of years on, what probably started as a means to navigate and find prey allows us to observe and enjoy the natural world with a sense of awe and wonder.

New #paleoart on #FossilFriday: #Tiktaalik sees the world. Discussions of early #tetrapods often focus on limbs and lungs, but major changes also took place in their eyes. Seeing further and clearer than any animal before, they were the first to clearly see sunsets, stars, and the moon. #sciart

Tiktaalik looks like Paris and Janeway’s kids they left on that planet.

I recently got two bearded dragons and was wondering what our last known common ancestor was. Went down a rabbit hole and found out it’s the Tiktaalik Roseae.

Turns out Paris and Janeway evolved back into our ancestors!

Absolut. Beim #Quastenflosser hat, genau wie beim #Tiktaalik zuvor leider vergebens, der #Landgang geklappt und für ihn neue Welten eröffnet.

The #Tiktaalik holotype specimen is a truly beautiful fossil and it was such a pleasure to turn it into a pin!

And then we also added #Pride colours to its sediment, for a cheeky nod to the diversity of humans, and their inner fishes ✨

Was sketching this idea when i remember that lungfishes also dont have anal fins, meaning that both Dipnomorpha and Tetrapodomorpha lose their anal fins independently, what bunch of little weirdos:)

A drawing of a tiktaalik (an extinct species of animal from the late devonian) with a hand pointing at the viewer saying "FISH".

Learn from a bench! It's Tiktaalik time! It's 375 Mya & our fish-a-pod bestie, #Tiktaalik, made the arduous journey onto dry land, as would it's other fish-a-pod friends. This species provides a glimpse at that transitional stage...1/4 #BenchFacts #evolution #paleontology

An array of assorted 'dinosaurs' (they're not really but ok whatever). Top: A fat Dunkleosteus, a Devonian fish with armor. Bottom left: Diplocaulus, a boomerang-headed amphibian. Bottom middle: Tiktaalik, a little guy that's actually our collective grandpa. He's even labelled as such! Bottom right: A Pteranodon bust, a flying reptilian with a long beak and bony protrusion from the back of their skull. Middle left: A Dorygnathus beak, a reptile with a birdlike beak. At the end protrudes several thick, large teeth. Middle left: Prionosuchus, a reptile that looks a lot like a big crocodile with a needle-thin snout. I didn't quite draw it long enough here.

Sick nasty #paleoart #tiktaalik

a painting with a retro windows -style border depicting a fake website. the grey border is twisting with fossil-like details. the 'URL' reads: 'https://emulacrum.geocities.org'. below this, buttons read 'File', 'Edit', 'View' and 'Help.' The contents of the website include breaking blue waves on the left and bright sand on the right. three crude 3D renders of Tiktaalik roseae are captioned 'STUPID FISH'.

i been so busy this week i didnt get to post this but hopefully i will have time to draw ... soon (i have plans literally every day)
the painting is called 'emulacrum'

A two frame illustration depicting Tiktaalik roseae. The first shows a black and white line art of a Late Devonian landscape. The second is a close of up Tiktaalik with orange and green to highlight different aspects of the anatomy. The different colors went with different parts of the original presentation these illustrations were drawn for. *Some of the traits are over simplified or not fully scientifically accurate.

Shows a Tiktaalik 'fin' compared to human anatomy.

These are almost two years old now- but here aresome #Tiktaalik illustrations I did for some educational outreach!

My favorite part was adding @nshubin.bsky.social into the drawing as a fun to add a segway into shouting him out lol

Phill the tiktaalik

Tiktaalik, An ancient fish! Due to its mix of aquatic and terrestrial traits, scientists see Tiktaalik as an evolutionary link between fish and four-legged vertebrates. Cool!
