After many SVPs, @calamanderso.bsky.social et al. (CC: @akufner.bsky.social @jdpardo.bsky.social @paleobadger.bsky.social) delivered the description of Ninumbeehan dookoodukah, a small Late Triassic temno preserved in estivation burrows. doi.org/10.1098/rspb... (CC: @serpenillus.bsky.social for art)
Composite reconstruction of the skull of the Late Triassic stereospondyl Ninumbeehan dookoodukah via CT analyses of multiple skulls. The skull is longer than wide and generally triangular, though with a blunted tip of the snout. In lateral view, it angles upwards posteriorly such that the back of the skull is much taller than the snout. The typical interpterygoid vacuities of temnospondyls occur on the palate. The lower jaw is also reconstructed, featuring the typical suite of elements found in temnospondyls. Life reconstruction of Ninumbeehan dookoodukah by Gabriel Ugueto. The artwork is a three-paneled figure depicting different seasons. During the wet season, one individual rests underwater (first panel on left). At the start of the dry season, multiple individuals form vertical burrows, which retain some water inside, to shelter from the elements (middle panel). At the end of the dry season, the rains trigger the survivors to emerge from their burrows, but some have died and remain entombed in the burrow (last panel on right).

As I mentioned, TEMNOS is meant to be a living resource - it is also meant to be collaborative! If you want to contribute, read the CONTRIBUTING document that's included in the release and that has best practices for getting in touch (especially if you find issues)! [end]
