Edaphosaurus

To be frank, "sea scorpion" needs to die as a term. Not only do eurypterids share no close link to scorpions (or look that similar), but Impossible Pictures has twice now stated that they're the same thing, explicitly and implicitly. Common names should respect cladistics.

@mj_man1 @Dalibor59851424 Well, fortunately the Great Auk is extinct so…

@Dalibor59851424 What do we use as a common name for Sphenisciformes? "Penguin" was already taken by Pinguinus, the genus occupied by great auks.

@Goji_Saurus Well yeah, who knows

@Edaphosaurus ah I see. Breakfast.

Okay I'm finally watching the Carboniferous episode and are they really doing a mother protecting her young with a basal synapsid lmao

@Goji_Saurus Well, they found a baby and an adult preserved together in a log. Not the most compelling evidence of parental care, but it's something.

@Edaphosaurus wait you're telling me we have fossil evidence of little lizard things caring for their young?

@TenontosaurusT This is basically just Nigel Farage

what if eryops was british

@RickRaptor105 @YutyTyrant Indeed.

@PrayingHagfish Imagine thinking this is how the Pleistocene megafauna extinction played out lmao 🤣

Killing of megafauna has always been humanity's specialty.

@ausar_the Episode so forgettable ppl forget it was evening happening 😂😭

Ngl I posted this because I thought this was going to be this week’s episode. I forgot about the end-Ordovician episode.

@ThejurassicW BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SLOP PEASANT. WE THE HOLLYWOOD ELITE HAVE DAINED TO CREATE A DINOSAUR MOVIE THAT ISNT JURASSIC WORLD, SO YOU MUST ENJOY IT NO QUESTIONS ASKED, NO MATTER HOW RUBBISH THE DINOSAUR DESIGNS ARE!

Ya'll are geuinely so ungrateful.

Deeply irresponsible. We're in a climate crisis. This is such a terrible start. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@Goji_Saurus I wish all climate change deniers a very DIAF (of their own making)

I hate climate change deniers man if you think climate change is fake I genuinely think less of you.

@TheAliceSmith @theuprisingmov Let me break it down in a way that even a baby can understand: Taxes on poor people - bad Taxes on rich people - good Got it?

@theuprisingmov The lesson to be learned from this movie is that high taxes are a sign of oppression and we should revolt against it.

Rise or die. Andrew Garfield stars in THE UPRISING, only in theaters September 11. Watch the trailer now.

@Tomozaurus @ThejurassicW Then it’s a question of what defines as a “giant” tortoise (I doubt any of them are as big as their film counterparts, but I’m open to being corrected.

@Edaphosaurus @ThejurassicW I mean thats not true. Obviously they dont look like this, but most nanhsiungchelyids, helochelydrids and some stem turtles (including early meiolaniforms) are thought to be terrestrial or semi-terrestrial.

As expected, it's the Jurassic World Ankylosaurus with some spikes on top. Really killing the monopoly here guys.

@Goji_Saurus I heard Athena wasn’t even Athena, just trauma flashbacks from Troy of a woman who was killed by her statue?

I wanna add it felt small and you can tell Nolan is embarrassed by fantasy. Odysseus' fleet is just three ships, Polyphemus barely talks, Circe is living in a ruined hut, Hades is literally Iceland, the only god to appear is Athena, Ithaca is the palace and a couple houses...

Great movie but knowing it's explicitly set right before the Bronze Age collapse makes all of the aesthetic choices baffling

@ThejurassicW It's just a tortoise with the same spike integument as the Ankylosaurus! There were no giant tortoises in the Mesozoic!

@Edaphosaurus Ok but they did redeem themselves with this guy.

Tell me @JeremyClarkson , is it really all happy smiley down on the farm ?

@Osprey0 @ChrisGPackham @JeremyClarkson Probably not 12% of the UK’s total emissions though eh?

@ChrisGPackham @JeremyClarkson BBC Springwatch must create massive greenhouse gases. 🤦‍♂️💨 🎥 🦜🪺🦆 🚗🚙🛻🚐🚛🚛🚛🚚⛽🛢️

Maybe they deliberately had Fortnite in mind when they designed the armour.
