Is it a spondylid?

serpenillus.bsky.social•31 days ago

It is a Nectridean, itself a group with complicated/contentious phylogenetic relationships

Thank you

New group to research ☺️

I see, with that head shape, it could avoid radar detection 😅

EARLY PERMIAN* sorry! I’m tired!

The current theory is that they had soft tissue connected to the horns?

How I imagine a predator trying to swallow this guy.

So, where have these been found? I grew up and studied #Geology and #Paleontology in eastern Kansas. Wonderful representation of the #Permian period. Eperic seas, transgression regression. Never heard of them. Very cool though.

Would you believe there are fossils of these (or close relatives) in eastern Kansas?

I am sure you meant early Permian

Oops! Brain fart! Indeed, that is what I meant to say

Saw this guy at the Field a few weeks ago, such a legend. Thank you for doing your part to correct the unjust underrepresentation of the Permian in paleoart

Doing as much as I can to bring the Carboniferous, Permian and Triassic tetrapods representation to the front 😊
