Eternally disappointed that these went extinct and useless garbage Lystrosaurus survived the Great Dying Just look at this stupid pig-lizard. The hosed up part was there was a period in the Early Triassic, right after the Permian Extinction, where everyone that hunted or competed with these things were dead, so their population exploded. There was a period where 19 out of every 20 land vertebrates was a Lystrosaurus. Imagine taking a walk outside and 95% of all the animals you saw were like, corgies or whatever.

I was an adult before I learned about those things, and that stunned me given the fact you mentioned. If it was on land, for millions of years, it was that thing. Period. On the entire planet. And no one ever mentions them even in passing in pop archeology stuff you learn growing up

Mak0rz posted:Being a basal trait doesn't necessarily mean all descendent species have that trait. It could be secondarily lost entirely in some groups. For Tyrannosaurus there is a bunch of evidence of scales and no evidence of feathers, but I guess its family tree can keep the feathers of the gaps alive. I'm unsure if feathers actually are basal, though. Is there anything to point that way other than Kulindadromeus? Maybe it was just weird and turned its scales into filaments by its own.

Fun feather facts: "In the case of green plumage, in addition to yellow, the specific feather structure involved is called by some the Dyck texture." E: "Feathers and scales are made up of two distinct forms of keratin, and it was long thought that each type of keratin was exclusive to each skin structure (feathers and scales). However, a study published in 2006 confirmed the presence of feather keratin in the early stages of development of American alligator scales. This type of keratin, previously thought to be specific to feathers, is suppressed during embryological development of the alligator and so is not present in the scales of mature alligators. The presence of this homologous keratin in both birds and crocodilians indicates that it was inherited from a common ancestor. This may suggest that crocodilian scales, bird and dinosaur feathers, and pterosaur pycnofibres are all developmental expressions of the same primitive archosaur skin structures; suggesting that feathers and pycnofibers could be homologous."

Elukka posted:For Tyrannosaurus there is a bunch of evidence of scales and no evidence of feathers, but I guess its family tree can keep the feathers of the gaps alive. Yeah. As far as I know current conventions among restoration artists is that it's acceptable to restore T. rex as completely featherless or with some feathering. Either is understood to be a possible restoration with our current understanding, just as long as they don't show stuff like primaries (the long forearm/wing feathers of many theropods, including living birds) that we know tyrannosaurs didn't have. HAmbONE posted:When I become a billionaire I am going to bring you goons to... Been there twice myself. Black Beaty is an absolutely marvelous fossil. Took my breath away when I first laid eyes upon it. Then a few years later I went back to see Borealopelta and got emotional again lol. Sadly all of their Dimetrodon fossils are casts/replicas and not the real deal

Great link. Six years spent extracting it is an insane dedication to preservation.

My personal belief is that the sail on the back of these marvelous Dimetrodon lads was an adaption that meant that no one would be able to ride them around like a horse.
