Dickinsonia, back when evolution was excited to make pancakes.

Paleontologists are pretty sure Dickinsonia was an animal, a creature that lived in the sea around 550 million years ago. The flat, ripply organism adhered itself to the floor with mucus and grazed on mats of microbes. Slick. 🧪
A fossil of the early animal Dickinsonia. Imagine an earthworm smashed flat under an iron skillet like in a cartoon and you get the idea.

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.

También podría ser un dickinsonia. Quién sabe. Dedico mucho tiempo al día a pensar en vulvas y dickinsonias como (imagino) cualquiera.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Finishing the day with a little Dickinsonia model, built for MUSE Museum, Trento, Italy, in 2018. This is one of my favourite Ediacaran fossils.

Dickinsonia (Ediacaran) – A soft-bodied enigma from the pre-Cambrian world that thrived without a mouth, gut, or spine. Dickinsonia reminds us that survival doesn’t always look the way the establishment expects. Be weird. Persist anyway. 🌊💥 #FossilFriday #Ediacaran #SciPublic

Had to leave the Flocking #Paleostream early today due to injury, so we only get 3. Triceratops with a very specific colour scheme and skill set, Helveticosaurus, and Dickinsonia.

Dickinsonia. Just so you know, it was (most likely) an ANIMAL. #FossilFriday

To veno uns vídeo aleatório de fósseis e agora esse bicho dickinsonia me deixou irritada só porque existia eu n sabia da existência dele a 5 minutos atrás e eu to irritada porque ele NÃO É SIMÉTRICO ele é levemente não simétrico

The iconic Ediacaran fossil Dickinsonia from the Central Urals onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #PapersinPalaeontology @datadryad.bsky.social
Main photograph is of fossil Dickinsonia densa from the Konovalovka Member of the Cherny Kamen Formation of the Sylvitsa Group, Central Urals (paratype, GEOCHRON 2057-296). An oval, striped organism, the same colours as the surrounding matrix. Long white scale bar at lower right is 10 mm. On the right, a vertical set of diagrams showing a schematic model of Dickinsonia preservation in the Konovalovka Member. At the top, the specimen rests on a clay-rich substrate during life. Moving down, it is rapidly buried by an overlying sand layer and pyrite (Fe2S) forms around the decaying body due to microbial activity. Later partial erosion of the sand layer occurs, and finally, the organism is buried by alternating clay and sand layers. Red rectangle in lower left corner is a cover image from the journal Papers in Palaeontology.
