I was asked yesterday to post a walkthrough of Life Over Time, the shortest-lived and generally weirdest iteration of the Field Museum’s fossil halls. If you visited between 1994 and 2004, this is the version you saw. I’ve got some time, so let’s do this.

Clumsy Hunter

In the early Permian, a little less than 300 million years ago, life on land had long been rich and diverse, but most of the animals were still a bit... goofy.

Here's Eryops chasing down a Platyhystrix in a lush riverside forest in what is now Texas, some 290 million years ago.

yeait's been
one week since you looked at me
cocked your head to the side and said I'm angry.
five days since you laughed at me saying get that together come back and see me.
Three days since the living room.
I realize it's all my fault but couldn't tell you.

It looks like you're writing a description paper. Would you like help?

Got back into the groove of digital paleoart and made a new design featuring some of my favorite gnarly WIS fish: Enchodus, Cimolichthys, and Xiphactinus!

I somehow managed to find TWO full odds shiny Pokémon in Scarlet less than 24 hours apart from one another. I don’t have the shiny charm, didn’t make a sparkling power sandwich, and neither were mass outbreaks.

It’s kind of a miracle how well-photographed the original assembly of Gorgeous George was. 70 years later we’re privvy to all sorts of details, including James Shouba smoking up on the scaffold! #FossilFriday
