Yo, #FossilFriday 🧪⚒️
Today we have another oddball from the collection: a cast of the skull of a Permian dicynodont (probably Diictodon feliceps; Dicynodon is a wastebasket taxon). Given the date indicated, the specimen predates our current building (and sadly will outlast our department).

Today's four random pieces of palaeoart:
Cedric Hunter's Gorgonops and Dicynodon, @villesinkkonen.bsky.social's Mammuthus, Jan Sovák's Styracosaurus, and Petr Modlitba's Edaphosaurus!

1968: Blue Peter visit the Dinos!!
John Noakes, Patch the dog, and Freda the tortoise arrived by boat. Freda is introduced to an incorrectly-shelled, Dicynodon, John misidentifies the Megalosaurus, and a picnic (allegedly prepared by Valerie Singleton..) is had by the Iguanodons..

commission for @othnielia.bsky.social
it depicts two Parachirognathus swimming by a Dicynodon skull subfossil in a Triassic reef for her poster that she and her professor will be presenting in a couple of months.

So, it turns out that Joseph Palmer assisted Waterhouse Hawkins with the Crystal Palace project! He is the only other named helper we know
He would have been about 18 at the time. It is possible that he could have been kept on at the Palace when BWH was released in 1855, before reuniting much later

The skull of the dicynodont Dicynodon— an herbivorous therapsid— in 3D resin, photographed in the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow, 2019. The fossil scanned was found in 1997 at a quarry near Hopeman, Moray, Scotland.

The Venusaur line likely takes inspiration from Horned forgs, poisonous frogs, and dinosaurs such as the Dicynodon. Tho Venusaur's flower ressembles the rafflesia parasitic flower, I thought it would be repetitive with Vileplume, I instead focused on referencing Juran, a plant Kaiju from- 1/

I also found out that there is r/conlangs and r/conlang. The latter is essentially unmoderated.
My criticism of the screenshot is why you would bother to "document" the word for Dicynodon if that it's not an animal you ever see in the show.

Finally adding onto this Elph is a small Dicynodon from Sokolki its actually interesting as its part of a family that don't make it past the Permian mass extinction. i want to also mention that the name is a random combination of letters and that its incredibly funny.

South African Rock Art Depicts 260-Million-Year-Old Extinct Animal, Study Suggests
Indigenous people in southern Africa may have been painting long-extinct creatures from 260 million years ago, even before Western archaeologists described the fossils.
