Triassic non-marine horseshoe crabs,
many ancestors of today's marine animals find refuge in brackish environments, as the Permian Great Dying caused the sea to become anoxic and choked most of the marine life at the time

wow ignore that i havent posted here since last year. ANYWAYS !!!! somehow i forgot to post these guys alongside my Megaraptor i drew in november so 馃槶 here's some more fandinos for Paleo Pines !!!
"fandinos" being sorta misleading though since neither of these guys are dinosaurs lol. regardless, up first we have Tanystropheus who is infinitely ridiculous. then we have Sharovipteryx, who is equally infinitely ridiculous. both of these guys lived in the Triassic - and surprisingly, are likely related!

Results from the Besano Formation #paleostream! The middle Triassic has much to offer!
REPOST, SEE REASON BELOW
With formations like these I think it's extremely difficult to find a balance between diversity and a good composition. So although I COULD add more animal to these paintings I also want them to work on an aesthetic level. Paleoart can be more than science outreach.

MaySozoic Day 28: Tanystropheus
The Anazah are, by all accounts, near globally aware of this species, but due to the fact they lived in the Campanian, they have no strict idea what exactly these creatures were.
Some believed them old plesiosaurs, some crocodiles, others snake... most believed them to be a mix of any of those three.

Dinocephalosaurus redescription
Check out the new paper on the redescription of Dinocephalosaurus, 聽long necked, aquatic protosaur that inhabited the聽Triassic seas of聽China. Wonderfully preserved specimen and while it convergently evolved a long neck similar to to Tanystropheus, instead of fewer elongaded neck vertebrae, Dinocephalosaurus has many many many shorter neck vertebrae. A bizare and wonderful necky boy of the fossil record to be sure. Art by Marlene Donnelly & Gabriel Ugueto

They did warn me, you know. That I shouldn't take a name too true to me. That I shouldn't take a name I might change to fit. I was warned.
I'm off to the Unsea. The swim team tried, a debt I guess I won't get to repay. I did appreciate being helped through my new diet, through growing scales and webbed hands and fishook teeth. But the tail's coming in, and my neck is already creaking as the growth begins. I can't stay any longer. Give the swim team my love, and first dibs on what I've left in my room. I know I've got a gift card to the sushi place that I want them to have.
Don't follow me. Yes, I know I'm an unprecedented research opportunity for certain majors and a thesis paper unto myself. Don't follow me. I'm already losing my memories of who I know and care about. I will bite you. I will probably be too far gone to feel bad about it.
-Tanystropheus [pinned to the bulletin board, written in squid ink and smelling suspiciously of bonito flakes]
