Here we go again!

Result of the Ballagan formation #paleostream

It's probably the most obscure formation we covered so far but it fills an important gap, Romer's gap to be precise. Or at least it tries.

I hope you get an idea of the this enigmatic slice of time here.

Thanks to some pretty nice papers we were able to piece together flora and fauna in a satisfying way. While uncertainties and gaps remains we try here to give a cross section of the preserved biota, covering all major clades.

To get an idea of what we left out you can have a look here, a size chart by Discord members JW and Gnath, that formed the backbone of the composition you see above.

A Lemon’s Life

A juvenile lemon shark in shallow mangrove forests in the Bahamas. Lemon sharks are probably the most understood sharks in the world, thanks to more than 30 years of studies by Bimini Shark Lab.

‘Lemon sharks spend their first four to six years in shallow waters where mangrove forests protect them from bigger predators. They build friendships with other juvenile sharks and learn how to hunt. They are absolutely gorgeous, smart, curious and clumsy. Mangroves build a perfect ecosystem and are their nursery and for so many other species.’

We've got more neeewcomeers~! Watch out for that grumpy guy with the yellow eyes, he might bite 🐺 his brother (!!) seems like a sweetheart, though – let's see how long that'll last 😉 The dark-haired babe is a little stiff. I bet she's just waiting for the right gal to loosen her up 🤭 I'm having trouble putting my finger on the artsy redhead 💅 she's shy or something?? Oh and their majors are: 🔬 Chemistry, 📊 Political Science, 📚 Education, and 🎨 Fine Arts. This bunch is apparently from some tiny never heard town so be nice to them, folks 💖

im kind of obsessed w the concept of fallen angels in the world of warrior cats where like. spirit gets cast out of starclan for whichever reason u choose and falls back to earth/the world of the living and looks like a cat but also is not a cat. black eyes/dark fur with broken constellation patterns where they used to have tabby stripes or dapples/an uneasy feeling.

floating in donut at the beach while they play jaws the revenge on an old projector and i can't stop thinking about that one scene in Creature from the Black Lagoon where the creature is actively stalking the mc by swimming below her and like. i need that pred/prey energy with Price. being hunted in the water, dragged to his cave. his little human conquest.

No matter what, don't follow the Lights...

Time for me to post other things than Puter Wilds fanart!

I had this idea based on a reddit post (that I can't find anymore) of someone who photoshopped a shark in a spooky forest and called it their worst nightmare. And I thought "wouldn't that be fun if it was some evil witch familiar". So I drew this.

Someone asked me for the lore behind this, so here's what I imagined: She's a witch either eats human or animal flesh or uses it in rituals. She uses the lights and the fog to make the people lost in the forest believe that there is a safe village nearby, or to simply attract curious animals. She blinded the shark herself to make it more docile.

Also if you're curious: the skulls on the trees are of humans, rabbits, doe, wolf and bear.

Little close up on that cute little lady ^w^

Ooo, the tickle forest looks so fun! If I’m not too late, I’d like to suggest a possible tickle shark?

There’s some breeds of sharks that are pretty small- perfect for nuzzles and nudges whsnsnnsns

I hope you have a great event friend! Your tickle forest is so cute! 🥰 Have a great day!

I decided to do catsharks cause they're so cute! Enjoy the little fella~
