Result from the Irdin Manha Formation #paleostream. While you might never heard it's name you most likely have heard of some of the fauna from here. First and foremost Andrewsarchus. The fossils were so far largely excavated by the @amnhnyc in northern China (Inner Mongolia) during...

...the early 20th century. That means finding ANY good information on the environment is rather... complicated. So take the interpretation here with some grain of salt. Irdin Manha is a place preserving (probably) the remains of an open, semiarid steppe with rivers...

depositing sediments with fossils of brontothers, dinoceratans and whippomorphs galore. What we witness here is a transition from the typical Eocene forest faunas to the megafauna dominated open ecosystems. The animals in this scene are clumping up around the banks of a river...

...hoping to cross with a raging wildfire in the background. Notice the high water marks on the shore, it's been a while since it rained. The size chart was put together by Discord member Gnath, who did this month before the stream in anticipation of this being spun on the wheel.

The Tanguts were a Sino-Tibetan people who founded the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227), which at its peak covered over 800,000 km², encompassing modern-day Ningxia, parts of Gansu, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang.

Their early homeland lay in the steppes and mountains of modern Qinghai and western Sichuan, corresponding to the Amdo and Kham regions of the Tibetan Plateau. In the early 8th century, pressure from the expanding Tibetan Empire pushed the Tanguts northward into the eastern Ordos region. By that time, they had become the dominant local power in northwest China.

Western Xia controlled the Hexi Corridor, a crucial section of the Silk Road linking northern China with Central Asia. The state achieved notable cultural accomplishments in literature, art, music, and architecture, often described as “shining and sparkling.” In 1227, the dynasty was destroyed by the Mongols, and much of its architecture and written records were lost. As a result, Western Xia history remained poorly understood until renewed research in the 20th century.

The Tanguts created a unique Tangut script to write their language. Although Tangut characters resemble Chinese characters in stroke form, their structural principles are fundamentally different and largely unintelligible to Chinese readers. Today, the Tangut language and script are extinct, surviving only in fragmentary texts.
