My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
In 2013 I built 23 scale and life-size models for MUSE Science Museum, in Trento, Italy. Here's Kimberella, from the Ediacaran.

Alright science art and paleo art folks go gentle on me. If I was to do these for a gallery showing I think I'd need at least a couple of weeks for research and notes alone. More if I reached out to researchers for paper access and feedback. Speculative armored invertebrates, Dickinsonia, speculative medusa, Charnia, Spriggina, Kimberella, Arkarua, & their trace fossils.

Kiffer, the Patchwork Pokemon!
Type: Fire
Evolves into Hemaslime when holding an Iron Ball Upturning the sediment for food with their proboscis, Kiffers scootch slowly across the seafloor. To better protect themselves, they will sometimes heat up and harden the surrounding minerals into more solid plates, which it will pick up and place along its back.

At the start of the Neoproterozoic, the first animals would emerge, and after surviving another series of ice ages, we would see the first complex life, although for now it is still very simple and seemingly alien. It is still a subject of debate how these creatures fit into the tree of life. Are they the earliest ancestors of modern life? Are they simply an entirely separate branch that died off after this period? Scientists still aren't sure. I may do a separate post about the bizarre fauna of the Ediacaran period.
At this point we're already around 4 billion years into the story of Earth, with only about 500 million years to the present. Tomorrow we will be exploring a whole new eon.

It's a true fact! There are several, deeper, ways for this to be true but on the first level, the linings of both the mouth and the rectum are mucous membranes, so they have similar cell structure and function.
They are also the first structures to form in the fetuses of most species including humans (and reindeer! 🦌) - the egg is fertilized and begins cell division; the cells form a disc shape; the disc shape dimples on one side; then the dimple deepens to turn the disc into a donut shape. One side of the donut becomes the mouth, the other becomes the anus! Thus from the very start, butt and mouth is the same tube.
(This art fucking rocks my socks off btw)

Many one piss drawings.
Not all of these are finished but they’re good enough to post.
Also to be clear,I don’t actually know how true Robin’s trivia is, i just took it from a “Fun facts about the human body” list. (But also i couldn't find anything that disputed this? Ah! So it's a mystery fact!)

Perspectives #4
Tumblr media
"Silent Sea" Dickinsonia/Kimberella/Tribrachidium Ediacaran, 556 million years ago, Ediacara Hills (Australia)
The Ediacaran Biota were a motley crew of strange animals of lineages unseen anywhere else. Many of them break traditional symmetry, and most were soft-bodied. Dickinsonia, the background critter, was a proarticulate displaying glide symmetry (probably), a sort of staggered segmentation unseen in any animal today. It slowly crawled over the seabed, grazing on microbial mats. Kimberella are the slugs, probably distantly related to today's mollusks. It seems like the overall plan of "lay low, have a shell and crawl on the floor" has served them well. Tribrachidium are the spiral guys, small filter feeders that used their unique shape to funnel water into their centers. Triradial symmetry is similarly unseen in modern life.
This is part 3 of my Perspectives series! For more, check out #perspectives on my blog.

I made a small attempt at some paleo-reconstruction! Here we have a couple creatures from the White Sea assemblage--Kimberella and Charnia. I choose to believe the Ediacaran period was soft and pastel colored

Did you know many common names are in fact nicknames for longer, paleontologically inspired names? For example:
Kim is short for Kimberella.
Dick is short for Dickinsonia.
Tara is short for Therapsid.
Sara is short for Parasaurolophus.
Dan is short for Globbidens.
Zoe is short for Middle Proterozoic.
Don is short for Troodon. (But don't worry if you want to name yourself after a valid genus name! Nick is short for Stenonychosaurus)
Liz is short for Lystrosaurus.
Pete is short for Permo-Triassic Mass Extinction.
Arno is short for Carnotaurus.
Leo is short for Paleogeographical Distribution.
Pat is short for Apatosaurus.
Elsa is short for Beelzebufo.
Ian is short for Carnian Pluvial Event.

Hemaslime, the Oxidized Armor Pokemon!
Type: Fire/Steel
Evolves from Kiffer while holding an Iron Ball When a Kiffer becomes more experienced in its fire usage, it begins to melt nearby rocks into hardened iron sheets. It uses these to form a shell around its rear, evolving into a Hemaslime. These creatures sift through the sediment for detritus and burrowing organisms to eat, as well as for more materials to plaster on their backs and to strengthen their shells.
