palaeo blogging

Not to get all political or anything, but the Permian and Triassic periods? Metal as heck. Hi, I'm just an autistic Canadian pal blogging about palaeontology, and occasionally archaeology and paleoanthropology. Icon art by Ray Jacobs.

After a refreshing dip in the river delta, a female Schleitheimia schutzi emits a deep, resonant call to signal to the rest of the gang that the cooling break is over. Switzerland during the Late Triassic.

This is a slightly updated illustration from my book ”De första dinosaurierna” (2023, Idus förlag)

First post! Decided I should start off my blog with this oooold piece that is also my cover since it still holds up pretty well, is it five years old now? Anyways, a female Proceratosaurus bradleyi in the forest.

Fossil Novembirb: Day 15 - Oasis in the Desert

During the Late Eocene and Early Oligocene, the environment of Jebel Qatrani formation of Faiyum, Egypt was as lush as you could imagine, with tropical forests, and a vast system of wetlands, lakes and rivers connecting to the warm Tethys Sea. As you would expect, such a place was teeming with birds. The birds living here would have no idea that 30 million years later, the Sahara desert would bury all this greenery. But for now, it is an oasis where birds of a feather flock together.

Goliathia: One of the earliest known relatives of the shoebill, arguably one of the most awesome birds alive today.

Nycticorax: An early member of the modern night-heron genus. It is not named, but can be assigned to the genus thanks to the shape of its limb bones.

Xenerodiops: An early member of the stork family with a short, recurved beak. It probably fed like modern wood storks, probing the water with the beak open, snapping it shut on passing fish.

Nuphranassa: A member of the modern jacana group, but much larger than any living species at about the size of a chicken.

Janipes: Another large jacana. Not as large as Nuphranassa, but still larger than any modern jacana. One must wonder what these guys were walking on.

Palaeoephippiorhynchus: An early stork well known from this period. It closely resembles the saddle-billed and black-necked storks, but was markedly smaller in size.

Eremopezus: A very poorly know flightless palaeognath known from a few fragmentary limb bones. Probably related to modern ostriches.
