A juvenile Dimetrodon giganhomogenes in an Early Permian forest of Walchia piniformis pines. The youngster looks over in astonishment as a Captorhinus aguti makes its escape beneath the safety of a fallen stump after it broken its tail off in the predators jaws.

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.

Here’s a different person weaponizing it in the exact same way. Just as they weaponized “criticizing isreal isn’t antisemitism” before it. This is a trend.

We try to educate and then y’all take truths an warp them to use them against us. We can’t win. You will ALWAYS do antisemitism.
The country of Israel BLATANTLY has full and complete control over the USA. Benjamin Netinyahu has Donald Trump on a leash. I do not understand how you could possibly think that statement is antisemitic. It has nothing to do with Jewish people or Judaism. 3:53 PM • Aug 8, 2026

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.

BEHOLD the argent bird!

A vagrant Argentavis blown off-course has made her way to North America. The family of Barbourofelis have no idea how to deal with a beast smaller than them suddenly sextupling in size.

A big predatory bird spreads its wings on a dead horse, intimidating a trio of ruddy cougar-like sabertooths (not actually cats) into giving up their kill.

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.

While I'm checking in on BlueSky, here's the stem-mammal Sphenacodon ferox, which lived long before there were any dinosaurs.

The large Tyrannosaur took a while to paint for @dinoconuk.bsky.social because of its size, but was helped out by the fact that there were a lot of large uninterrupted surfaces to slop on to.

But this... this will be a very different challenge.

Stay tuned.
