It's #fossilfriday! Here's a guy from HOW TO SURVIVE PREHISTORY: Arthropleura, a (probably!) herbivorous millipede relative that roams the coal forests of Carboniferous Scotland. Survival Verdict: YES. It's got a nasty nip, but we feel if you get bit, you have it coming.

This is also, by the way, a GREAT way to absolve yourself as an American from the responsibility of US involvement with Israel. If the Jews have “full and complete control” of the US government with the president on a leash then it’s not your fault if your tax dollars are funding genocide.

POV: You took a GoPro to the Cambrian #SciArt #artbyjulio
An over/under split image showing an Anomalocaris swimming in shallow water. The underwater environment is a patchwork of pale sand and a green carpet of algae or microbial mats, with a few scattered rocks, illuminated by water caustics. Two small Wiwaxia crawl around leaving trails behind them. Above water, a distant barren landscape is seen with a clear, bright sky. The image resembles GoPro photography aesthetics.

Late Eocene savannahs (Megacerops, Merycoidodon and Mesohippus) This piece was completed and shown 5 days ago on my Patreon. #paleoart #SciArt #art #artist #paleontology #artistonbluesky #originalart
A herd of Megacerops, Merycoidodon, Mesohippus and Leptomeryx drink from a watering hole during a dry spell. Subhyracodon wallow in the mud, and an Alligator stalks the Mesohippus, who flee at its approach. After the cooling trend began, Eocene forests and jungles made way for subtropical savannahs and plains, allowing for the expansion of grasslands in the Miocene. We haven't quite reached this point in time just yet, but this dust storm is just the beginning of a climate trend that'll drag on for millions of years.

Doli’s Blue World Dolichorhynchops mother and calf, along with a school of Apsopelix and a pair of Clioscaphites in the background. All of which are residents of the Western Interior Seaway, 85 million years ago. #Paleoart #sciart #art
The illustration depicts a mother Dolichorhynchops and her offspring swimming within the Nursery of what will one day become the farmlands of Kansas. Dolichorhynchops was a plesiosaur, a type of marine reptile whose remains were found in marine rock deposits dated to around 85 million years ago, during the age of dinosaurs. Along with the marine reptiles in the background, there's a huge school of extinct fish, Apsopelix, as well as two ammonites in the top-left corner, named Clioscaphites. 

A complete specimen of a very close relative of Dolichorhynchops, named Polycotylus, which is currently on display at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, includes the remains of a preserved baby inside. This supports the idea that, despite being called reptiles, plesiosaurs gave live birth, and the fact that there's only one baby within the Polycotylus specimen indicates that plesiosaurs would've engaged in dedicated parental care. For the Dolichorhynchops pair, real families stick together, even in a dangerous sea that divided America.

Wakaleo alcootaensis Illustration! More context of the scene, fauna, flora and enviroment in comments! This illustration has had lots research and planning with help from the leading palaeontologist for the Alcoota Beds, Adam Yates! @reddirtpalaeo.bsky.social #sciart #paleoart #megafauna #alcoota
Wakaleo Alcootaensis Mother&Joey Walk by a defensive Male Wakaleo with a hunted Kolopsis torus carcass perched in a banksia tree. With the Male Grunting in defense from the mother, An Alcoota Goanna stands shell shocked nearby in the same Banksia tree, and in the distance, a pair of Dromornis stirtoni stay alert, as they heard the grunting from the Male Wakaleo. A few Alcoota Large Flamingo stand by, but one flies away in fear of the grunts. A looming storm in the furthest distance towers over the enviroment. With the floodplain at its max water level, this storm may prove devastating for the Alcoota Fauna/Flora.

They're moving in herds...they do move in herds. Lambeosaurus in a sea of Corythosaurus going who-knows where in the Dinosaur Park Formation. This post was visible on patreon.com/cw/yee-qi for $2 subscribers last week! #paleoart #SciArt #art #artist #paleontology #artistonbluesky #originalart
In a forest of conifers, a yellow-headed Lambeosaurus magnicristatus raises its red-margined cockscomb crest above a herd of brown-and red striped Corythosaurus, with its semicircular crest. They're all marching who-knows-where, and who even knows how the lambeosaur got there? He sure doesn't.

Both these skulls should be basically public domain photographs, so far as I can tell.

here's what we sketched during this week's #Paleostream flocking this week we sketched Dynamognathus, Juxia, Presbyornis, and Nimbacinus #AusPalaeo
a Dynamognathus has caught and is swallowing another salamander, the other salamander's tail whips around from the Dynamognathus' mouth. it's illuminated by a blacklight and parts of its patterning fluoresce in reaction to the uv light

Dynamognathus is a huge plethodontid salamander from Tennessee, USA reaching potentially 43cm long, like other plethodontids it ancestrally lacks lungs and performed gas exchange over its skin, they lost their lungs as they modified the bone they use for breathing (the hyoid) into a ballistic tongue like a chameleon's tongue (although chameleons can still obviously breathe)a Juxia walks infront of a thermal trail cam, it performs a Flehmen response (the lifting of the upper lip to expose the vomeronasal organ to the air) to better detect scents in the air, a predator or other Juxia may be nearby

Juxia is an ancient kind of hornless rhino from asia which converged on a similar niche to giraffes, being a tall browsing animal using its prehensile lips (and most likely tongue) to help manuver food into the moutha Presbyornis swims along while being illuminatd by a blacklight, certain feathers on its head, and areas around its face fluoresce brighter, giving us a glimpse into what these birds look like in their native colour vision range

Presbyornis is an relative of ducks part of its own branch of their grouping, it looked similar to a cross between a duck and a flamingo, with long legs for wading, but a long flat bill with a small downturned point at the end used to help dabbling, evidenced by trace fossils attributed to Presbyornis-like tracks in formations abundant with thema Nimbacinus widens its jaw for a long yawn in the middle of the night, a black light causes its fur, skin, and teeth to fluoresce. its fur and skin reflect pinkish and blue light, while its teeth reflect a blueish green

Nimbacinus is a relative of the thylacine (tasmanian tiger) that lived in Waanyi country, Australia (though it most likely had a larger range) during the late Oligocene to early Miocene. unlike the thylacine, it couldnt open its mouth nearly as wide, however, it made up for that in having an incredibly strong biteforce
