The pibald water monitor is a highly versatile generalist that arrived in the Seridic wetlands 1.5 mya. They're second best at everything, employing this flexibility to elbow their way between the truce established by snubnose monitors and giant tegu during the Anchored Period.

While you might never heard it's name you most likely have heard of some of the fauna from here. First and foremost Andrewsarchus.

Midiaou made it over here now as well! You know the drill! Follow and share!
Lesmesodon edingeri, a cat sized Hyaenodont from the #Messel Pit. We only have 4 fossils from this species, all still suckling age. Would be an early horse’s nightmare as an adult though (dissection in thread) #sciart (done in 2021)

A lonely Kosmoceratops wades through the waters of the marshy Kaiparowits jungle. Also making an appearance: a pair of Mirarce and somewhat hidden Alphadon. #artadventcalendar

it appears plagiorizer William Toosey tries his shit again, that's my Propalorchestes in his "Journey through the Cenozoic".
I suspect this is just the tip of it. Many of these are just other people's work with a new texture slapped on top.
Lots of JRC art here.

Quickish Nanotyrannus lethaeus anatomy study.

Really cool to see two papers more or less back to back that very conclusively reestablish NanoT as a distinct taxon.

Quick sketch of Amphicyon confucianus (minus the fur) as it may have rested just before fossilization. A complete skeleton of this species exists (Shanghai Nat. History Museum has a photo of it), but it hasn’t been described as far as I know. #paleoart #sciart #miocene

For those who wish to contribute further to the art budget of the Fable of Fai Zhemi, or who have already done so: I'm putting together credits now. I've got how some folks would like to be referred in the episodes based on knowing them or listed in memos.

I am sorry to report I have to postpone the Fable of Fai Zhemi by a week. The series will arrive in four weekly chapters starting the 9th. I'm almost done with the first chapter, but I'd have to cut corners to get the others to the original schedule, and I'd rather it be as written.
