bsky.app/profile/captai… Alright, I'm finally evacuating this space. Catch me on blue sky for now! I promise to be a little more active there!

@A3Dnazrigar So who is the Imperial salamander based off of?

Beast Fables - Megafauna of Asuva The final continent of the series, and the biggest one. Appropriate for its size, it features of truly gigantic beasts, from Rhizodus to a version of Paraceratherium. The land of rhinos and river monsters. #specevo #worldbuilding #paleoart

Our latest paper is out today: Oldest Gorgonopsian synapsid suggest therapsids may have originated in equatorial regions. Out in @NatureComms with several colleagues: #citeas" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4146…

And so, #temnovember2024 has come to an end. Thanks to everyone who has been following along this past 30 days as i rambled about an abalanche of early tetrapod critters. Once again thank u and se ya next year;) #paleoart #sciart #temnospondyl #amphibian #temnovember

May your Thanksgiving be full of peace, love, and joy. To everyone in the United States and Canada who is interested in @ROBOKASEKI.

The Georgia Blind Salamander (Eurycea (=Haideotriton) wallacei) is an obligate inhabitant of groundwater. This means that they are only found below ground and in aquatic systems in the Floridan Aquifer from subterranean sites in both Florida and Georgia.

@Fossilcrates @CassCretaceous @hmns We all could do with a little mud stomping!

@CalebBohus @CassCretaceous @hmns Mud maybe!

#Tiltaalik, 375 mya #Devonian #sarcopterygian, “flesh fin,” is one of the most important fossils ever discovered, capturing morphology important for landlubbing. Tis tucked away in a corner of the marvelous the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences @hmns #FossilCrates

@CassCretaceous @Fossilcrates @hmns Probably not walking around on land 😜

@Fossilcrates @hmns @CalebBohus

The Western Grotto Salamander (Eurycea spelaea) from the Ozarks of Oklahoma

@NatSciChannel Please get the original voice actor to make a cameo

How much would you bet me to make a "Top 10 Most Extreme Animal Planet's The Most Extreme CGI Human Animal Hybrids"

@GriffinLabPaleo @yalepeabody Best pizza on the East Coast!

ヤマトトックリウミグモ ?展脚しました。 Ascorhynchus japonicus ウミグモという海に生息している蜘蛛みたいな生物、甲殻類でも六脚類でもない蜘蛛やカブトガニと同じ、鋏角類に分類される節足動物

Spring Cavefish (Forbesichthys agassizii, top) are pigmented and have functional eyes; most of the relatives to springfishes and swampfishes are cavefishes that do not exhibit much in the way of pigments and do not have eyes-Southern Cavefish (Typhlichthys subterraneus, bottom).

#temnovember2024 day 23: Dutuitosaurus And now for a big #metoposaurid, #Dutuitosaurus, a large acuatic predator from the upper Triassic of north africa, very similar to de european #Metoposaurus #paleoart #sciart #amphibian #temnospondyl #temnovember #triassic

@TM9380 That thing looks delicious…

While the Morrison Formation is best known for its giants, Fruitadens is one of the smallest dinosaurs from the formation. It’s also one of the last known heterodontosaurids.

What may be my last tweet (on #TemnospondylTuesday) is announcing an open database for #temnospondyl data that I've been working on for a while: TEMNOS (Temnospondyl Evolution, Morphology, Nomenclature, and Other Stuff) doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… 🧵👇

@Koskinonodon Oh wowie

@incisorial @EmuLarge Agreed

@incisorial what are the odds of any nectrideans or temnospondyls breeding like pipa toads?

@EmuLarge @incisorial Yes, and colosteids. A lot of the stem gets would be ruled out due to the scales and osteoderms that Japan mentioned. Colosteids for instance have extensive dorsal and ventral scales that would not allow for the spawning behavior shown here.

@incisorial Nice. Embolomeres are probably out too then right?
