everyone always talks about sacabambaspis (with good reason) and yet you never hear about another exctinct species that looks equally silly.

Results from the Flocking #paleostream!
Camelops, Daemonosaurus, Panderodus and Eustreptospondylus
#Paleostream flocking 6/12/2025
results of this week's #Paleostream flocking!!!
this week we sketched Camelops, Daemonosaurus, Panderodus, and Eustreptospondylus
The Paleo Party Guest of the day is the Conodont!
This group of early chordates lived between the Cambrian and the Jurassic, with over 1500 species currently recorded. Their "elements", teeth like structures, are the primary fossil that remain from them, and they're often used as an indicator fossil for the age of sediments.
Age: 500-200 mya, individual species and genera vary.
Location: Global paleo-oceanographic distribution.

Generalized conodont, inevitably based mainly on Clydagnathus (improved and updated, more conservative reconstruction)
New keychains dropped babe!!!!!
Anomalocaris, Conodont and Sacabambaspis:3
I teach high school Bio, and I had my students do an assignment about the mass extinctions. One of my students then referred to conodonts as "funny little guys"
Which is fair
