Happy #FossilFriday from the stupid Xiphactinus on display at the Royal Ontario Museum. Even Canada is not safe from this awful gigantic fish!

For people not aware: Lemuria is a spec evo project of the #paleostream community. It follows the evolution of organisms living on the fictional continent of Lemuria (fusion of Madagascar and India) from the Cretaceous to the Pleistocene. We are now in the Pleistocene. #LemuriaChallenge

...organisms settle here, and of course the abundance of prey brings with it predators, like sharks, other whales, predatory dugongs or snish (fish like snakes). Penguins and plotopterids follow the schools of fish as well and so this first piece sets the stage for things to come...

🧵 Last night we finished the first of the habitat murals for Lemuria Phase 3. We added the continental shelf this time to the roster to enable people to experiment more with pelagic megafauna. After reinventing whales we felt like that it would be only fair. This piece is set on...

It might not be intentional but the murky, hazy atmosphere within the dioramas almost feels like a visual representation of trying to look through the depth of time to see the past. If so, it’s a brilliant approach to palaeoart that I’ve only seen a handful of other times.

Paleo person here: beaver tail bones actually have those broad flat bits that stick out, those are not normal for tail bones! Bone shapes actually show us how muscle and soft tissue attaches, hence why we know weight estimates for animals like T. rex! For researchers, deduction is very important!

Today’s four random pieces of palaeoart: Zdenek Burian’s Protoceratops, Brian Franczak’s Wuerhosaurus, Richard Orr’s Allosaurus, and Michael Berenstain’s Pterodactylus!

A group of heavyset, sprawling Protoceratops stand amid a tangle of vegetation on a stony hill.

A striding stegosaur with a striking yellow and black pattern and low, squared-off plates.

Two red and blue Allosaurus with dumpy, pear-shaped torsos and slim but defined muscles tear into the carcass of some largely unseen green dinosaur.

A brown, sleek pterosaur with narrow and sharpely defined wings soars high above a sandy lagoon. A red crab struggles in its mouth and numerous other pterosaurs fly or walk about in the background.

It’s apparently World Whale Day, so I introduce you to the Indo-Pacific finless porpoise. Supposedly, it can click up to 200 times/second to find prey in murky waters. There are other species of finless porpoise in the same genus, but all are threatened.
