🦑 Meet Planctoteuthis sp.! 🦑 According to #SamplingGap Co-chief sci Dr. Perez: “Images have finally enabled the description of this tail, but no one knows what it is used for. It looks like a siphonophore from a distance, and one hypothesis is that it could be used for siphonophore mimicry.”

27 / 26-10 / bone (5/6) evening softening form; an unmeant harvest; shiver in the quiet. octobers's monthly risograph print patreon.com/formyths

a risograph print split into 4 quarters: clockwise from the top left: a hole torn in a chain-link fence over dirt, and an inset panel of a pupa-like shape; a rounded comb; two halves of a split gourd; halo around a sun in a chilly sky with wisps of clouds.

There are some pieces of paleoart that to my eye are so fantastic that I regularly come back to them to just stare and marvel them. Peter Trusler has made many such pictures but these 3 particular ones are just of such exquisite quality that they take my breath away every time.

Joubin's squid (Joubiniteuthis portieri) is a funky, little squid that looks like one of those head massagers. It has a max mantle length of 9 cm and a long tail which is thought to mimic sinophores. They are also the closest relatives to the even more lanky bigfin squids (Magnapinna) #SQUIDtember

It has long, thin arms that are mostly white but they have orange chromatophores on them. The chromatophores are more visible near its head. Its orange body is quite thin. Its head is in the ROV's shadow.

ERUPTING EARTH / EXPLODING SKY 🌈 a gouache piece from residency, 2023

an illustration painted in gouache, playing with vibrant colours. tall towers of clouds across the lower half, a dark blue sky giving way to light from the top to the bottom. bisecting the image is a warped and liquid rainbow. in the centre is a strange shooting star with multiple tails, rocketing over a flat black square. the bust of one figure is in the upper left, looking down and away, and he's coloured in a wash of blue. in the lower right is another figure reaching up toward him or the star, longing and young, their dark black-purple hair sweeping and swirling around them.
these characters are from the comic SUPERPOSE.

A painting of anchovies swimming in a bait ball, being attacked by sharks and tuna from below and shearwaters from above. The composition is kind of weird because it’s designed to be a torso tattoo design starting on the chest that leads down the front of the thighs

Old ko-fi doodle request for a crow monster

Large crow with an upside down head that features pustules surrounding its eye with a sickly green hue. Its wings have formed into malformed legs whilst its feet feature toes of extreme length, all curling to form a cage-like structure.

Panthalassa

Out in the ancient Panthalassic Ocean, two Triassic ichthyosaurs have risen above dark and foaming waves, one having leapt completely out of the water. The horizon and sky are obscured.
These ichthyosaurs aren't meant to be any particular genus; they're sort of just unnamed early ichthyosaurs, though they were largely based on mixosaurids.

🚨Not one, but two Magnapinna squid! 🚨 the #doldrums team observed 2 elusive Magnapinna sp., commonly known as bigfin squid, at approximately 4,300 m (about 2.7 miles). Magnapinna is the deepest-dwelling squid. Sightings of these animals are extremely rare — seeing two in one dive is extra exciting!
