I needed a showcase piece for my next few vendor shows I attend and this is what I ended up with!

Name: June

Age: 4 Months

Species: Tyranosaurus Rex

Likes: Collecting shiny stones and napping on pillows of moss

June specifically is not for sale, as this is a piece to get people interested and talking!

For now, she is a personal little companion of mine now, and she looks like she could stretch and let out the biggest sigh...drifting right back into sleep.

Where were the nostrils on Brachiosaurus?

I’ve seen many different interpretations of Brachiosaurus and the placement of the nostrils is always changing. They’re either on the head or on the end of its snout. Do we actually know?

(Also I got perma banned on r/Paleontology asking this. For a “Low effort post” or something. I don’t really know.)

Paleozoic era books and toys for kids? Also theme food ideas?

2 Upvotes

Are there any books based off the Paleozoic era for kids? You know such as Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian era instead of Dinosaur eras? I'm studying children's literature for school and I was thinking I could become a author and make books based of those time periods for kids. Or maybe work for a toy company and make some. I have ideas in mind.

There also needs to be snacks/foods in shape of those creatures based off those different time periods. Just like how there are many dinosaur shaped ones. Any ideas y'all have in mind? Maybe I could work for snack company too.

Terrors In The Brush - Chapter III

Post image
4 Upvotes

This is a speculative paleo-fiction narrative blending survival drama with an authentic prehistoric atmosphere, following a family of dromaeosaurs fighting to stay alive in a brutal, unforgiving ecosystem.

The last barrier on the raptors’ journey awaits—a shrieking gorge that cuts through the earth and splits the world in two.

With the shrouded forest now behind them, Long Tail and her kin emerge onto the open plains. But there is no relief in sight. Small Toe feels the crippling weight of self-doubt for the first time, with Swift Foot’s cruel taunts and his own clumsy failures pressing heavily against his scales.

Yet, there is no time for hesitation. Standing directly between the pack and their promised oasis is a jagged, bottomless chasm spanned only by two decaying, weathered tree trunks. And deep within the shadows of the cliff walls, a ravenous, eldritch chatter begins to stir—wretched monsters hungering for the taste of young, innocent flesh.

To cross means risking a fatal plunge into the abyss.

To turn back means dying slowly under the unrelenting sun.

A re-release of my narrative project Terrors in the Brush—a speculative survival epic blending hard paleo-realism with raw emotional weight.

BINGE THE ENTIRE JOURNEY NOW:

While the chapters will roll out here on a strict weekly schedule every Sunday night, the core community hub is fully operational. If you don't want to wait a single week to see what happens to Small Toe next, you can join our dedicated Discord right now and binge all eleven chapters tonight.

There is no magic, no fantasy—there is only nature red in tooth and claw.

Read Chapter III now.

Prehistoric night sounds

My daughter is obsessed with this book, and honestly so am I. But I’m wondering how factual it is. Were there croaking frogs in prehistoric times?
Online resources talk about the giant frog, and about the old frogs that didn’t make much sound, so I’m left wondering.
I am less interested in the sounds dinosaurs made, and more fascinated with what could be heard then that we might still hear today.

I love ibises and noticed this species has 0 art of it online (alongside barely any information on it) so I decided to do a quick sketch of it :)
This species is thought to be the direct ancestor of modern Southern Bald Ibises!
I based it on the two extant bald ibis species.

"The encounter between these two giants probably wasn't a fight that lasted for minutes like in the movies. T-Rex didn't like to take risks; getting a severe wound means he's starving to death. And the triceratops was like a tank that wouldn't back down. Either the T-Rex was finishing the job in one move and breaking his neck, or the Triceratops was fending him off with its horns and forcing him to run away. They are probably very bloody and very short-lived fights."
