It makes sense that our ancestors got the hell out of the water in the Devonian

These cool little fossilised corals are everywhere down here, reminding me why its called the 'devonian' period

Devonian period. Good choice.

Anglicans are kind of like one of those types of lizard that's indistinguishable from a different type but their phylogenic tree diverged during the Devonian period or sth

#FossilFriday: Holoptychius flemingi from the classic Late Devonian Upper Old Red Sandstone locality of Dura Den in Fife in eastern Scotland. This specimen on display @morethanadodo.bsky.social
A block of pale-coloured sandstone with many fossil fish with black scales and bones.

A pair of stem holocephalans for International Ghost Shark Day and #FossilFriday: the iconic Cladoselache (Devonian) and the weirdly wonderful Edestus (Carboniferous).
Fossil showing the front half of a sharklike fish. Fossil dental whorl that looks a bit like a saw blade with large teeth, held in a hand to illustrate scale.

I am thoroughly disappointed by this. It is ironic, given that 1) Cleveland Museum is known for its history of high-quality, influential placoderm fish research and 2) SVP are the very organisation who published my paper on placoderm vertebrae back in 2020.

Welcome back to another #TrilobiteTuesday

Here is Gerastos granulosos from the Middle Devonian (Eifelian) Mahder Basin of Morocco.

Absolutely love all of the Devonian fish and strange water bugs 🥰
Also, that water looks amazing! 😍

sea monsters remake, one episode per sea
7. Devonian- Dunkleosteus, plus some of the last giant sea scorpions
6. Permian- Helicoprion, plus having to survive the general hellish conditions of the great dying
5. Jurassic- Pliosaurus funkei, plus marine crocodiles and sharks

Blastoids are extinct echinoderms, related to starfish, sand dollars and crinoids. They have long stems and delicate hair-like brachioles to grab food that are rarely preserved in the fossil record.

This Hyperoblastus is one of the smallest I've found in the Devonian Silica Shale.

What time is it? It's the ultimate combo of #Cheliceratime, #Arachtober, #Fossilfriday and (soon) #Spidersaturday with an iconic stem-spider, the uraraneid Attercopus fimbriunguis!

All the basic infos are here but if you want to learn more, there’s more in the thread below!⬇️🧵

Known from fragmentary remains, this species held for a long time the title of oldest spider in the world before being reconsidered as a more primitive relative. It shows silk evolved way earlier than today’s spiders. Size : +/- 1,5cm in total length Time period : Middle Devonian Paleoart speculativometer : Mostly based on another taxon The animal drawn looks like a spider heavily built & with a segmented opisthosoma + a tail-like flagellum

my capstone work from 2021! posters for each period of the paleozoic. been considering reposting these here for a minute, as they predate the site as it is :p
two posters representing the cambrian period in red and the ordovician period in orange, containing various fauna from their respective times two posters representing the silurian period in yellow and the devonian period in green, containing various fauna from their respective times two posters representing the carboniferous period in blue and the permian period in purple, containing various fauna from their respective times a pattern of various animals represented in the previous images, overlaid over a rainbow gradient

Two photographs of plant fossils, pale compression fossils on a dark grey matrix background. On the left, Vuvuzela enkulu (paratype, AM 18376a). On the right, Tympania merrionii (AM 18374a–b; a composite image created from part and counterpart of the holotype). Each photograph has a 10 mm scale bar in the lower right corner. At the bottom, between the photographs is a global map of the palaeogeographic position of the Impofu Dam locality (black star near the bottom) during the Early Devonian (400 million years ago). Red rectangle centre top is a cover image from the journal Papers in Palaeontology.
