Garden of Ediacara
"You should be more mattresslike. We live quiet retired lives in the swamp, where we are content to flollop and vollue and regard the wetness in a fairly floopy manner. Some of us are killed, but all of us are called Zem, so we never know which and globbering is thus kept to a minimum."

#FossilFriday #Ediacara - der Ursprung der Tiere
Die geheimnisvolle Ediacara Fauna lebte von 580 Bis 541 Mio Jahren. Dann, im Kambrium, entwickelten sich die Tiergruppen, die bis heute auf der Erde leben. Die ersten Hinweise auf noch ältere Lebensformen gab schon Charles Darwin.

A CLOSER LOOK AT EDIACARAN MISTAKEN POINT (565Ma), part 1 of 2.

MUN Paleobiology (@dmcediacaran.bsky.social) are redescribing these wonderful creatures & some are now reclining! We've been working on this composition for 4 years.

Ediacara Tiere sind die ersten nachgewiesenen mehrzelligen Organismen. Simon Darroch erforscht sie u hat sie in Computersimulationen zum Leben erweckt. Ich habe ihn im Senckenberg Museum besucht u die Fossilien bewundert

WELCOME TO EDIACARAN MISTAKEN POINT (565Ma).

If you thought this environment was like a miniature forest of sea pens, think again. MUN Paleobiology (@dmcediacaran.bsky.social) are redescribing these wonderful creatures & some are now reclining!

I would say, as a palaeontologist, that Riley has a bright future in palaeontology. It’s a spectacularly good point. But do point Riley towards the Ediacara fauna (much older than dinos) which preserves fossils of wibbly wobbly creatures that had no bones.

"...early diagenetic formation of silica cements was a widespread phenomenon in Ediacaran and Cambrian sandy seafloor environments and likely played a pivotal role in the preservation of these exceptional fossil assemblages."

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2022 I worked with McIlroy et al on a new description of Haootia, from the Late Ediacaran. #Haootia fossils from Newfoundland have the oldest evidence for animal muscle. Also pictured are a reclining #Charnia & #Parviscopa.

This image, which strongly resembles a photograph, instantly caught my eye because it is a form that I've never seen previously in the Ediacara. Intrigued, I clicked. Very disappointing to see the credit for this image is given to "AI - Science Daily".

*What the hell, Science Daily?*

Garbage. ⚒️🧪

Favorite paleontologists who are also wonderful people:
- Karen Chin (UC-Boulder), "Queen of Coprolites," kind & funny.
- Patricia Vickers-Rich (Monash U.), from Ediacara to dinosaurs, great science educator & humanitarian.
- Tricia Kelley (UNC-Wilmington), evolutionary scientist & mentor to many.

A few zooms into my painting of Haootia, commissioned by McIlroy et al (2022). #Haootia fossils from Newfoundland (Late #Ediacara, 550Ma) have the oldest evidence for animal muscles. Also pictured are #Charnia and some #Parviscopa.

In 2022 I worked with McIlroy et al on a new reconstruction of Haootia (Stauroza), from the Late Ediacaran (550 Ma). The #Haootia fossils from Newfoundland, Canada, have the oldest known evidence for animal muscle tissue.

Sie begannen als Fraktale Körper, bildeten Tierwälder u lenkten Strömungen um, manche trippelten auf Beinchen über den Meeresboden, ganz Fortschrittliche entwickelten sogar ein Vorderende.

Wie Paläontologen wie Simon Darroch ihnen mit neuen bildgebenden Verfahren u Geochemie auf die Spur kamen, steht im Artikel. Es lohnt sich – ich habe an keiner anderen Stelle einen so detaillierten Überblick dazu gefunden : )

A few photos from the day I spent filming at Mistaken Point, Newfoundland, in 2018. The crew were there to film the Ediacaran fossils and talk to the palaeontologists at Monument University Newfoundland.

Die Ediacara Tierwelt vor Urzeit (635-540 Mio Jahren) das waren schneckenartige farnförmige Tiere, nun gibt es neue Einsichten #tiernews

u.a "könnten die Ursprünge der tierischen Fortbewegung und der sexuellen Fortpflanzung noch weiter zurückliegen als bisher angenommen"
Vor mehr als einer halben Milliarde Jahren lebte die rätselhafte Ediacara-Fauna. Fossilien aus Kanada liefern nun überraschende Einsichten in diese Tierwelt.
Evolution: Ediacara-Fossilien werfen neues Licht auf Entstehung der Tiere
Versteinerte Tierreste aus den kanadischen Mackenzie Mountains verraten etwas über Evolution der Vielzeller.
