DREAMS ON THE HIGH PLATEAU

Thuringian Forest Basin - Early Permian

In the shadows of ferns and giant horsetails, primitve lifeforms dream away.

How does sleep look like in prehistoric times? Will they sleep in pairs like this Diadectes sideropelicus or just piled up like the Orobates pabsti? Surely sleeping with fellows provides not only comfort but a certain level of protection from the roaming predators. Meanwhile the varanoid Tambacarnifex unguifalcatus caught one unlucky fellow that slept solo: the amphibian Rotaryus gothae.

While the giants are sleeping, the dwarves get buissy. Long bodied Tambaroter carrolli crawl out their tunnels and all over the sleeping diadectid tetrapods. Like what you see? Leave a tip :)

DANCE IN THE DUST

Thuringian Forest Basin - Early Permian

Featuring a brawling version of the 'tambacher liebespaar', the famous fossil of two Seymouria sanjuanensis, that appear to dance through a drough striken walchia grove. Beneath their feed, small Thuringothyris mahlendorffae, basal reptiles that are believed to fill the niche of small rodents, perch from their borrows.

Despite of the rough climate the grove is still full of life. Inhabitet by insects like Anthracoblattina and Myriapoda. Adapted to the bromacker climate, their daily struggle for nurishment and reproduction gives the scene a nuance squirming live.

The dust that has risen from the dancing reptiliomorphs serves as a veil for the eco systems apex predator Dimetrodon teutonis.

None of my work got a prize in this contest but I still adore this picture very much. Like what you see? Leave a tip :)
