Dinocaridida anthropocheira Better known as the “Abyssal Copepod”

Just turned 22. You should send me pictures of cool rocks. Here's some cool rocks from Fezouata, Morocco: Undescribed horseshoe crab (oldest in fossil record) Undescribed marrellomorph ("Furca mauretanica") Platypeltoides carmenae (slightly large than my other one)

Hadranax, a large Lobopodian from the lower Cambrian aged Sirius Passet fauna in Northern Greenland. Been meaning to finish this for a while now #paleoart #cambrian #lobopodian

New Paper -> Comment on: Omnidens appendages and the origin of radiodont mouthparts Are there really 2 species of Omnidens? I comment on the organization of the mouth of this Cambrian apex predator, and argue there is only one species, Omnidens amplus onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/F…

Been a while since I’ve done some spec evo stuff. This is is the Slickribbon, a cave dwelling polychaete from the series ‘The Future is Wild’ #speculativeevolution #polychaete #artwork

Persecution Camptosaurus and Ceratosaurus (paleoart comm!)

This is Dibango, an incredibly bizarre percomorph fish which retained juvenile features into adulthood, from the lower Eocene aged Monte bolca lagerstätte in Italy that recently benefitted from a re-description. #paleoart #paleontology #eocene

Introducing Mosura fentoni, a new radiodont from the #BurgessShale. Paper here: doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2… This #fossil species has 3 eyes, spiny claws, wing-shaped swimming flaps, and a unique abdomen-like body region.

Mosura fentoni, a new Burgess Shale radiodont named after the kaiju Mothra. This hurdiid had a specialized abdominal region of the trunk dedicated mostly to respiration, rather than swimming.

Erratus sperare model I made today

Female Typithorax performing apophallation on a male to plug the cloaca from unwanted suitors, or female-mimicking male neutering a competitor? Or just me trying to explain the mysterious cloacal spike osteoderms on this Triassic aetosaur :B

An Endoceras Swims through a sea of graptolites in the upper Ordovician. #paleoart #paleontology #ordovician

BRO I recognize that waterfall No way she’s in the freaking DEVONIAN PERIOD 360 million years ago

Pleistocene only sights 😩

Restoration of Amplectobelua stephenensis, a modest sized radiodont from the Burgess Shale. This species is only known from frontal appendages, so most of the anatomy is based on the larger, more complete species A. trispinata. #paleoart #paleontology #cambrian
