A Hybodus that I illustrated for an upcoming issue of the Steinkern Magazine under guidance of Sebastian Stumpf. Most reconstructions get the horns wrong. (image ID: A watercolour painting of a slender shark with serrated spines on its dorsal fins and four horns on its head.)

New Mounts!! 🦖🦈🪼
Hali has recently gotten three new mounts that are awesome! First is the Tyrannosaur that drops from Eureka lockboxes, which Hali isn’t even that far into Eureka yet, but it was a really lucky drop. Gotta love the pink and purple look of it! Next is the Hybodus, aka: the shark mount that you get from the ocean fishing achievement. I’ve been farming for this thing for months now and I finally got it! Last but not least is the Miw Miisv, aka: the space jellyfish mount from getting the Sworn rank with the Omicrons! This mount is currently my favorite in the game and I’m so excited to finally have it for Hali! It’s totally her aesthetic and I’m having so much fun flying around in this with her.

My 11th entry for Jurassic July 2023: A Temnodontosaurus platyodon chases a Hybodus shark 180 million years ago in the Early Jurassic seas of what is now Western Europe. The 10-11 meter-long Temnodontosaurus was the top predator of the Early Jurassic seas that covered much of Western Europe 200-175 million years ago.

Wet Woodward Wednesday Welcome one and all to Woodward Wednesdays, where we celebrate the works of Alice B. Woodward, possibly the earliest female paleoartist to restore a wide range taxa in works of undeniable artistic - not just scientific - merit. Today I'll walk you through Paleozoic underwater scenes she drew for Evolution in the Past (1912).
Tumblr media
The first one depicts the Cambrian, and any modern lover of paleoart is probably going to ask what exactly is Cambrian about it? Where are the big stars of Burgess Shale from Anomalocaris to Hallucigenia to Pab the Snab a.k.a. Opabinia? They simply weren't known well enough: that big jelly may actually be the mouth of Peytoia, a radiodont related to Anomalocaris, which got misidentified as a jellyfish at one point:
Tumblr media
It's unfortunate we didn't get to see any lobopods from Woodward. At least there are many other periods to cover like Ordovician:
Tumblr media
It's hard to avoid wondering if people thought of Ordovician as the peaceful period of life, or even the boring one, with the most exciting things being graceful crinoids swaying in the waves and trilobites scittering on the sea floor. No terrifying sea scorpions or eldritch Orthoceras to haunt your nightmares.
Tumblr media
I'm jumping right past Silurian and into Devonian, because that scene was already covered in an earlier Woodward Wednesday. Fish predictably make their first appearance (as earlier vertebrates had barely been discovered yet) in the form of placoderms and ostracoderms. There's even an ammonoid crawling on the sea floor next to Drepanaspis looking curiously like a Devonian roomba. Then again, that probably describes the feeding ecology of Drepanaspis pretty well.
Tumblr media
The Permian marine life scene feels almost daring now, a century later. Just a bunch of regular fish and molluscs having a nice day in the sea, no rake toothed reptilians or rotary saw sharkoids or even the humble Hybodus to be seen. The temptation to make the illustrations more thrilling was surely a thing back then as much as it is now, but our standards have shifted. Aquariums were still a relatively new thing and hadn't quite made their big break into households, so these lifelike undersea scenes may have been far more exciting for an early 20th century reader. Curiously, Evolution in the Past does not include any Carboniferous scenes illustrated by Alice Woodward. Why this is, I cannot tell. If you know of other sources of Carboniferous life depicted by her in some sources, please let me know.

#Archovember Day 11 - Macrospondylus bollensis
The Thalattosuchians were a clade of marine pseudosuchians commonly called “marine crocodiles” or “sea crocodiles”. They were seperated into two groups, the Teleosauroids and the Metriorhynchoids. The metriorhynchoids seemed to be adapted for spending all their time in the water: they had smooth, scale-less skin, tail flukes, and even flippers. Meanwhile, teleosauroids held onto their crocodyliform nature, retaining their osteoderms and probably heading onto land when needed. They inhabited a wide range of habitats: from semi-marine coasts and estuaries, to open-ocean, to freshwater. The Early Jurassic Macrospondylus bollensis was one of these teleosauroids.
Tumblr media
Macrospondylus bollensis, long known as “Steneosaurus bollensis” (Steneosaurus being a wastebasket taxon for thalattosuchians) finally had its genus revived in 2020. At 5.5 m (18 ft), it was the largest known Early Jurassic crocodylomorph. Like many other teleosauroids, it had a long, tapering snout, similar to its modern equivalents the gavialids. This snout would have allowed it to quickly maneuver through the water with little resistance, snapping up fish. Oddly enough, like Megalosaurus, Macrospondylus is also represented in the Crystal Palace gardens (though they are simply labeled as Teleosaurus). Modeled after gharials and based on much better preserved fossils than Megalosaurus, the teleosaur statues actually hold up pretty well, other than using a more crocodilian scute pattern.
Macrospondylus bollensis fossils have been found in Germany, the UK, and Luxembourg. It lived in the newly forming Tethys Sea, which was warm and shallow at the time, dotted with small tropical islands where Macrospondylus would have likely emerged to bask in the sun. This area is known for its fossilized crinoids, cephalopods, bivalves, crustaceans, ichthyosaurs, sharks, bony fish, and more, often exquisitely preserved “frozen in time” due to sudden events and nigh perfect fossilization factors. There was an abundance of fish here for Macrospondylus to feast upon, including chimaeras like Acanthorhina, the armoured Dapedium, the long-bodied Euthynotus, pups of the shark-like Hybodus, the herring-like Leptolepis, and many more. It would have lived alongside a variety of icthyosaurs, small plesiosaurs, other teleosauroids such as Mystriosaurus, Pelagosaurus, and Platysuchus, pterosaurs such as Campylognathoides and Dorygnathus, and come across sauropods such as Ohmdenosaurus wandering the shorelines. But Macrospondylus was not the biggest “fish” in the sea, and if it ventured into the open ocean it could have come across the 8–10 metre (26–33 ft) long icthyosaur Temnodontosaurus, the apex predator of the Early Jurassic Tethys Sea (which is also on display at the Crystal Palace!)

You are going to hear about Eugenoeodontida cause they're my current fixation <3 They are an extremely strange group of shark like prehistoric cartilaginous fish, they have a lot of strange teeth and faces and shapes so I'm just going to list some off!
Helicoprion

Edestus

Sarcoprion

Ornithoprion

They're funny. If you google any of them there's a huge range of how their tooth whorls or strange teeth are depicted and it's super neat! Helicoprion and Edestus especially have a huge range of how they're drawn and reconstructed.
