A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots stands on top of a white electrical plug and eyes a pink Dimetrodon as an alternative energy source vie his sail and, therefore, wind power. Both are atop a white drawer with a second drawer in the background. A red ball and booklet covered in yellow and pink tulips is visible inside the background drawer through the transparent sides.
Dilophosaurus attempts to utilize sail power.

New paper by Angielczyk et al. reports new #synapsids from the early #Permian tetrapod fauna of the Pedra de Fogo Formation, Brazil 🇧🇷 - South America’s first pelycosaurs! ⬇️

#Synapsids didn’t just appear out of nowhere in the #Permian, I am disappointed with the lack of information about their origins during the #Carboniferous period.

I hope this doesn’t suck, and is current with contemporary research.

#Dicynodonts were an ancient & successful group of #synapsids that lived from the middle of the #Permian to the end of the #Triassic. They were among the largest terrestrial animals of their time, only really surpassed when large dinosaurs began to evolve in the Late Triassic.

Here are various sketches showing some species of Dimetrodon, which was a quite diverse genus during the Early Permian. The genus includes about a dozen of species

PELYCOSAURIA, from the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytWx... dedicated to early Synapsids. Many more more kinds of Synapsids are included there. 🐉 Pelycosaurs are known for their back sails, very trendy in the early Permian 🐉 #pelycosauria #synapsids #permian #dimetrodon #paleoart
Haha silly theropods you can't get rid of us

If you’d like to learn more, then here’s a link to one of my papers on the ecology & evolution of carnivorous #synapsids through the #Carboniferous & #Permian ⬇️ It’s open access so freely available to read:

🧵 End.
The article gives a nice snapshot of the menagerie of carnivorous #synapsids that evolved when they were the dominant animals on land, and what they can tell us about life, #evolution & #extinction.
Glad to see these fascinating animals getting the attention they deserve!

Glad to contribute to this article & help shine a light on life in the #Permian & non-mammalian #synapsids - these ancient forerunners of mammals were shaping terrestrial ecosystems long before the dinosaurs!

[ #paleoart | #synapsids | #anteosaurus | #3Dart | #art ]
Blimey trained as a palaeontologist 40 years ago & only now someone just explained simply how to demystify & read a phylogeny clade diagram
so now I can remember how to find ‘closest living ancestors’ of anything
All hail ‘Dimetrodon’
& up yours reptiles
Thanks ‘Clint’ 😀

Debates over pre-Mammalian #Synapsids and Stem-Mammals aren’t as passionate as the ones over #Dinosaurs.
Dimetrodon
[ #paleoart | #dimetrodon | #synapsids | #3Dart | #art ]
🦕 Dicynodonts were tusked, beaked synapsids that thrived before dinosaurs! 🌍
These herbivores ranged from rabbit-sized to elephant-sized giants like Lisowicia bojani 🐘.
They survived mass extinctions & were ancestors of mammals! 🧬

Before dinos, synapsids—pre-dinosaur beasts like Dimetrodon (🦕not dinos!) ruled 300M yrs ago.
Then theropods (🦖➡️🐦) took over—until an asteroid said “game over” 66M yrs ago.
Mammals, once tiny nobodies, seized the throne. 🦣🐘🦍🧍

Two rhinoceros-like animals wrestle with elaborate facial weapson. They are bulky, brown animals with four facial horns: two larger arcing up from their nasal regions, two smaller pointing upwards backwards over the eye. They are backlit in oche lighting and surrounded by clouds of dust generated by their battle. Sparse manes are discenible along their backs, but their skin is otherwise unornamented. Speculative fat pads between the shoulders and heads give their silhouettes a distinctive profile. Small trees and low vegetation are visible in shadow.
I'm working on #paleoart of #synapsids today, so here're two battling Arsinoitherium to mark the occasion. They are nothing to do with the species I'm drawing, other than the fact both subjects share a great deal of heft and some nifty headgear. #sciart
