'Bluesky Elders' to now instead be called 'Ediacaran Biota'.

Another big shift was in a section on Protection of Biota.
Well for starters, they took out "Protection of" and just put "Biota" for the section title.
They also said that protections now "may be considered... if practical".

A near-complete caudipterid pes from the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota reveals insights into pedal anatomy and osteohistology of early oviraptorosaurs
The evolution of the pedal morphology and the ontogeny of early oviraptorosaur theropods remain inadequately understood, largely owing to the poor preservation of available material and the limitation...

Yanliao biota (middle Jurassic china) palaeontinidae (cicada relatives) I think all the best known taxa are present together with few more obscure ones. While the colors are artistic vision the specific wing patterns are not and are as they were preserved in the fossils. It's quite magical. #sciart

Result from the Tiaojishan Formation stream, or rather Yanliao biota stream. This incredible assemblage was on my mind from the very start of doing these pieces, not just because it has tons of fascinating critters but because a big portion of the vertebrates here appear...
