The Francevillian Biota were a weird bunch of eukaryotes evolving to be macroscopic over a billion years before it happened again! I wonder how it would be if they never died out...

Part of my "Perspectives" series, which aims to highlight the evolution of life on Earth with a variety of different creatures and styles.
This one is "Color of Royalty," depicting some of the first stromatolites in a purple sea, just before the GOE.

Amazing and Congrats!! just a year ago it feels like you woulda been met with heavy skepticism (me included) so its pretty incredible to see the pendulum swing the other way
My latest for @nytimes.com! For 40 years, paleontologists have grappled over whether a small tyrannosaur — named Nanotyrannus — was its own animal, or simply a teenage T.rex. The debate has been ... contentious. Which is why it's so fun to finally be able to say this:
Folks? Nanotyrannus is real.

I made this some three years ago? and it's still one of my proudest works. Inspired by @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social's #MonkeyCruise, it was intended to depict Anachlysictis and Cebupithecia in the vein of Le Lion de Florence (depicted to the right).

Loxolophus and Baculites. Comparatively large (raccoon sized) mammals emerged some 300k years after the K-Pg extinction, and ammonites fully died out some 500k years, so for a brief window of time they may have met.

[wip] inspired by some of the...interesting timeframes relating to the K-Pg extinction
mammals were getting big only 300k years after the asteroid, and ammonites died off fully around 500k years later. the last ammonite probably could have met one of the Cenozoic New Gens, nature is crazy
