I must confess that reluctance to use art supplies is still a thing I have trouble with sometimes. I have some books I made in bookbinding class in college that are still empty after 8 years, and I can't remember how long it's been since I've touched any of my nice watercolour paper.

Captorhinus skulls with pyrite and calcite crystal growth.
Captorhinus were anapsids from the Permian - meaning their skulls did not have the normal fenestration that diapsid reptiles or synapsid mammals have. Named for their hooked snout, these reptiles had a pineal(or "third") eye - a small photoreceptive spot on the top of the skull not seen in the pictures here.

The last period of the Cretaceous is characterized by snake lizards (Mosasáuria, picture 556), which were beasts equipped with a flat swimming tail. They had the ability to bend their lower jaw at the joint in the middle and thus expand their maw. Sea turtles are also known from this period.

kaworu: you ever wonder, if a previous evolutionary branch of the lilim, earlier in this planet's history, had attained the technological advancement & theological ambition of contemporary humans, whether the souls of adam & lilith might have been channelled into the bodies of, say, dinosaurs?
