The sun rises over Dimetrodon as it travels across the landscape of the Middle Permian, spotting Diplocaulus, Titanoptera, a speculative proto-archosauromorph, and Prionosuchus along the way.
The piece 'Morning, when time had no end' was very kindly composed for this animation by the immensely talented Villi-refurinn. Check them out on Bandcamp for more fantastic music!
This one took a lot longer than usual, with life getting in the way and all that. Thank you all sincerely for waiting for so long!
Welcome back to Trilobite Tuesday! For some 270 million years, a variety of trilobites populated the Paleozoic seas. But by the end of their crawl through the Permian Period, only members of the proetid order—like this slightly disarticulated, 2-in- (5.1-cm-) long Ditomopyge—managed to survive.
Edit: I keep seeing this photo being reposted in places outside of Tumblr, and it surprises me every time. By the way, a "shaboingboing" is a hotdog. (Also, please stop cropping my name out of the photo! ;w; My posts are kewl!)
My Physiology teacher made my class go back in time, to the Paleozoic era, and we had to transform into animals to discover their everyday lives. I was a rat and had to eat earthworms the size of a garden hose. Then we went back to the present and had to rate our experience out of 20. I wrote 🤡/20.
