Charmouth Mudstone, even with half of Europe dominated by the sea, beneath the ocean's surface there is still an explosion of life.

The remarkable finding was recently published in the journal Diversity, where the group of researchers meticulously detailed the fossil’s origin, characteristics, and state of preservation.

Diplocaulus 🌊✨💦 This adorable little prehistoric weirdo is an extinct amphibian called diplocaulus. It had a body very salamander-like, but by far the strangest and most noticeable thing about it was the boomerang-shaped head. They lived from 306-255 million years ago in North America and Africa, but could also be on you!

"THE LINEAGE OF ELEPHANTS TRACES BACK SOME 55 MILLION YEARS..."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a prehistoric elephant piece titled "The "Micro"-Evolution of Elephants," undated, depicting the evolution of our planet's proboscideans over the course of over 50 million years. Artist unknown.

"The lineage of elephants traces back some 55 million years. Ancestors gave rise to various branches as well as to the direct line leading to living elephants. Early proboscideans originated in Africa and southwest Asia and migrated via land bridge to every continent except Antarctica and Australia.

Changes in climate and food supply -- and perhaps overhunting in the Pleistocene -- caused widespread extinctions, leaving modern elephants as then only survivors."

-- "THE "MICRO"-EVOLUTION OF ELEPHANTS"

The proboscideans featured here are: Moeritherium, Deinotherium, Palaeomastodon, Mammut, Gomphotherium, Stegodon, Primelephas, Mammuthus, Elephas (Asian elephant), and Loxodonta (African elephant).

Dippy, I made this diplodocus in blender to experiment with decimation maps and UV unwrapping, I'm very happy with the outcome but would like to develop it further.
