#SurvivingEarth STORYBOARDS REVEALED!
If all goes according to script, we may get another sequence of 'an adult Spinosaurus seemingly devouring a hatchling which turns out to be its own offspring'!

Well I didn't >:(
That's insane, I've only seen it in documentaries but didn't know we had actual evidence of it

Papiliomaris kluessendorfae, first reported in 1985 as the Waukesha "Butterfly Animal", was recently described as a strange bivalved arthropod with three pairs of large, feathery appendages. Some reports indicate it could reach up to 20cm wide.

Not even a book or anything, we're really dealing with crumbs here (including that Lightroom event and Naish's threads)

Been seeing some appreciation for DK books (like the Eyewitness series) elsewhere, so tell me, what were some that were vital to your formative years?

Here's one for me.

For Eyewitness this pirate book comes to mind, but there's also the visual encyclopedia.

I think I've finally got across how bulky T.rex was. Since this was made for the species' anniversary I swapped out the paleontologist silhouette, for now, with the Roman emperor Augustus. The color scheme was mostly based on the Eofauna model, though Buck from JP2 might've crept in a bit as well.

AchyParts @achyparts123.bsky.social · 9d

On October 4th, 1905, Henry Fairfield Osborn described Tyrannosaurus rex and Albertosaurus sarcophagus (the latter of which I didn't draw :(. 120 years later, some guy in Ohio decided to draw this tyrant lizard to commemorate its anniversary, that guy being me.

Happy birthday to T. rex! To celebrate I drew @suethetrex.bsky.social, one of the largest and most famous specimens of this mighty dinosaur.

Surprise, more Kem Kem theropods! Here's a small indeterminate noasaurid, between 2-3m long, known from fragmentary remains. With smaller animals, I am drawn to vivid colours and flashier displays - like the speculative skin flap on the tail. Size comparison below ⬇️

Small noasaurid - it has dark green fuzz on the front half of its body adorned with teal, white, yellow, and orange stripes. On the tail, these colours are mirrored.

i felt like drawing a placoderm last month, so i drew Gorgonichthys. it's been sitting in my wips pile for ages now, not tooo happy with this but that's the nature of art i guess :]

#placoderm #fishart #sciart

a Gorgonichthys has caught and bitten a Cladoselache, blood and flesh escapes from the open wound, including out of the Gorgonichthys' spiracle and gill slit. one Kentuchia takes a bite from the carcass while two others swim around the Gorgonichthys. two iceburgs float along in the backround, dropstones can be seen falling out of the one closest to the camera

Gorgonichthys is a large placoderm (jawed armoured fish) with a boxy head which lived in the same formation as Dunkleosteus.

Cladoselache is a cartilaginous fish that appeared like a shark with a flat boxy head, males had a curved spine on their primary dorsal fin, while females lacked them.

Kentuchia is an early rayfinned fish that had very forward placed eyes, giving it a very silly appearance

At this stage they're too young to be anything more than Amateurceratosaurus
