Question: How "bendy" was Tullimonstrum? I keep seeing them reconstructed like a squid/in a squidlike position. Was something like this possible?

A post for the new followers! This was my first “paleo”-diorama (8 years ago, I think).

Question for the paleoartists: What do you use as reference material for animals like opabinia, anomalocaris and other weirdos? Besides fossils and other people’s interpretations I mean. They’re pretty hard to wrap my head around.

Hey Bluesky, Any decent websites/apps that have a big library of human poses or you can create them yourself (in an easy fashion)?

Some lines on those pterothings!

Hm, not sure which direction to go... (both definitely still need some repositioning and resizing and so on)

Why the hell are these dangerous pseudo-scientists still allowed to post on Facebook? Community notes would be handy in this case since reporting the straight up science denial just is not working.

Hm, I want to do another one similar to this… Animal suggestions? Definitely doesn’t have to be a dinosaur.
