For some reason this @dinotoyblog post doesn't seem to be federating (any idea why not @pfefferle?) so I'm sharing it manually: dinotoyblog.com/hallucigenia-p

Plush Hallucigenia, with many arms for many cuddles! The long 'neck', if you can call it a neck, and small head, is reminiscent of a sauropod dinosaur.

We'll review the Plushtodon Mastodon mascot one of these days... it technically counts as a prehistoric animal toy!

plush toy of a many-legged, spiny backed invertebrate, with a long 'neck'.

Hallucigenia (Plush by ZHONGXIN MADE)

The Cambrian was the very first period of the Paleozoic Era, beginning a little over 538 million years ago and lasting until the start of the Ordovician period 486 million years ago. And during those nearly 52 million years, all manner of weird and wonderful life evolved in the seas. Scores of trilobites, Microdictyon, and Wiwaxia crept along the sandy beds. Swimming above them were […]

My art in 2023 (6/12)

June: Anomalocaris, Dragon of the Cambrian. The realisation that most Cambrian creatures were tiny gave me the idea of a whole bunch of them hiding from a 40 cm long Anomalocaris while in positions reminiscent of a D&D party facing off against a dragon.

A watercolour painting of an underwater scene depicting a bunch of Cambrian organisms. Central and by far the largest of them all is Anomalocaris, a strange brown arthropod with long, curved mouthparts and many wavy swimming limbs. It is lit from behind and casts a dark, ominous shadow over most of the scene, while a cloud of brown dust emanates around it. The other creatures are all far smaller and all arranged to look at Anomalocaris in a rocky undersea landscape with several sponges. They include Opabinia, a bizarre colourful creature with five eyes; Hallucigenia, a long purple wormy creature with yellow spikes on its back and five pairs of feet; Pikaia, a worm-like pale grey chordate with a thickened area on its back; Canadia, a spiny purple worm-like creature; Burgessia, a round green arthropod with a long tail and antennae on a higher rock than most others; Marella, an arthropod with many long curved bits arranged in vaguely T-like shapes; and Elrathia, a ruddy trilobite. Each of them has some sort of rock or small ridge between them and the much larger Anomalocaris. The foreground is largely brown where the light falls on it, and the background behind Anomalocaris is blue sea, brighter towards the upper left where the light is coming from. The shadows are dark and ominous, especially the ones cast by Anomalocaris.

Presenting: THE #CAMBRIANSMACKDOWN! A silly Tumblr style bracket. I will create a series of polls to determine which screwy looking Cambrian era critter is perceived as the coolest on Mastodon!
Polls will start at 7 days long.
Depending on how well-received this is, the polls may shorten in length.
Polls coming soon. Enjoy. This thread will be for bracket updates rather than the polls.

Mighty #Anomalocaris stirs, spreading dust and terror throughout the #Cambrian sea. #Opabinia, #Hallucigenia, #Pikaia, #Canadia, #Burgessia, #Marella, and #Elrathia can only hope the rocks and ridges they cover behind will hide them.

Inspired by a display at the Naturkunde Museum Stuttgart that perfectly showed off the difference in size between Cambrian critters. At 40 cm, Anomalocaris was a leviathan.
