I’m sorry to be late. Today, I’ll write about Paleozoic animals.
This Dunkleosteus sp. is small as Dunkleosteus, but it looks scary. Dunkleosteus is one of the model of new fossil Pokemons.
Gemuendina stuertzi looks like a ray, but it is a placodermi, the prehistoric armored fishes like Dunkleosteus or Bothriolepis.
Bothriolepis canadensis has fins like crab’s legs. In lower specimen, there is not only hard front but also soft hind of the body.
Cladoselache fyleri looks like a shark, but for recent study, it is not a shark.
Cheirolepis trailli is the early ray-fined fish, the fish group including fish on your dish. different to most of modern fish, its tail is not upper and lower symmetry.
Diplocaulus magnicornis has the head like a boomerang. I think it is one of the most unique skull ever known.
Eryops megacephalus is very big and massive. Then, it was the age of amphibians.
Dimetrodon limbatus has the huge “sail”. It would be used to make its body warmer.
Estemmenosuchus mirabilis has unique skull. It has big fangs, but it was a herbivore.
Procynosuchus delaharpeae is very close to mammals. Its skeleton is also similar to mammals’
Thank you for reading! Next time, I’ll write about Mesozoic animals.
