happy #fossilfriday! this is pezosiren, a sirenian from early eocene jamaica. a basal relative of manatees and dugongs, pezosiren was able to walk on land, and may have had an amphibious lifestyle like a hippopotamus (art by joschua knuppe)

An early Triassic bone bed excavated at 78°N changes the story about how marine life recovered after the most cataclysmic extinction in Earth history ~252 million years ago.
