This #FossilFriday I’m excitedly sharing a new #Ediacaran #Charnia brasieri named for my PhD Supervisor & friend Martin Brasier who died 2014. I’ve wanted to name something for him ever since but I wanted it to be something special. When I saw the first one from Inner Meadow I knew it was the 1 🧵

What if nostalgic aesthetic but it’s called Frutiger Ediacaran for people who miss when the future seemed bright before the Cambrian (yuck, things with eyes)?

Fishless fish-tank screensavers full of Charnia fronds and lively colors for reminiscing about the Avalon explosion 575 million years ago.

Got a cute mug today! Only realized after I bought it that Charnia is not a Cambrian creature 💀 🧪

This #FossilFriday i am excited to tease a new piece of work in press on the architecture of #Charnia masoni from the #Ediacaran . I basically took the rangeomorph architectural rules established by my mentor Martin Brasier and sculpted them in 3D with beautiful consequences. 1/2

Not so fun fact! Charnia is actually a big example e of sexism in paleontology! it was first discovered by a schoolgirl a whole year before a schoolBOY officially discovered it!

Happy #FossilFriday from the Ediacaran of Newfoundland. For your enjoyment here is a specimen of the most common form of (as yet undescribed) #Charnia from our Inner Meadow site of #Ediacaran age in Newfoundland. It has J shaped branches and i particularly love the arcs the secondaries describe.

Today's #InverteFest art is of the Ediacaran Biota, before the Cambrian explosion, specifically Kimberella, a mollusc-like animal, and Charnia, a quill-like creature.
#pixelart #ドット絵 #SciArt #paleoart #invertebrates #Ediacaran
Pixel art of some of the Ediacaran Biota, including two purple and magenta Kimberella, small mollusc-like creatures which may have swam through the water or crawled on the sediment. On the sediment with one of them are several Charnia, which are quill-like, and some small jelly-like animals. The water is lit up by the sun overhead and there are many bubbles rising upwards.

Day 6: Dickinsonia

Nobody:

Absolutely no one:

The Ediacaran: Flesh plants. Flesh plants! Great wobbling frisbee beasts! Flesh plants—

#ArtAdventCalendar #art #digitalart #paleoart #SciArt #dickinsonia #charnia #geology #science #paleontology
Digital cel-shaded art of a wibbly wobbly Dickinsonia, a weird wobbly lifeform from before the Cambrian era. It looks like a floppy frisbee with bilateral lines sectioning its body into many gelatinous ribs. It lives underwater surrounded by fleshy ‘plants’, including orange charnia with spots and neon green hylaecullulus. Since I’ve interpreted Dickinsonia as a transparent creature, the other life forms can be fuzzily seen through its body. This little scene is set on an isometric square chunk of sandy seafloor.

for todays #paleostream flocking: diictodon, megarachne, revueltosaurus and charnia🌟
#sciart #paleoart
Two digital sketches on one page. Top: two diictodons discovering a natural rock opening in the mossy forest floor. Maybe they'll make it their home? Who knows! Bottom: a megarachne just vibing in the shallow water, with the tip of it's tail sticking out of it, causing little water circles around it. Two digital sketches on one page. Top: revueltosaurus standing on the water edge, probably drinking from the river, as we can see the drops of water falling down it's head. Their colors resemble the pattern of water monitors. Bottom: a bunch of Charnia growing on the rocks, very close to volcanic activity under the water.

I’m a bit late to #FossilFriday today as I’m in the field (literally) clearing at Inner Meadow. But how about a lovely Charnia gracilis to be getting on with. From #InnerMeadow of course.

Some more #Charnia content this #FossilFriday, but this time Charnia grandis reins. stat. It had been synonymized with C.masoni and mostly used for gigantic specimens of what is now C.brasieri but its strange rhomboidal branches are very distinct. the 1st branches are 45o and 2nd are at 90o
specimen of C grandis showing rhomboidal branching plaster cast at The Rooms opposing leaf like charnias parallel to current so not felled but growing along the seafloor in our opinion schematic showing the 1st and 2nd order branches of all the charnia species

Arandaspis in minecraft? more likely than you think! 🐟

Also new animations for lots of critters like Anomalocaris, and new block additions such as Wiwaxia and Charnia!
