Synapsids and Reptile

Synapsids and Reptile 2

gorgonopsia- are a suborder of therapsids that are included within the class synapsida. Their name refers to the Gorgons of Greek mythology

Carboniferous period: first reptiles, spiders, amphibians First conifers, synapsids

Therapsids (Therapsida) are the synapsid animals with more erect limbs than the earlier synapsid "pelycosaurs" like Dimetrodon or Edaphosaurus, that had sprawling gait similar to lizards. Therapsids also have more complex teeth than the earlier synapsids. First therapsids and earlier synapsids...

Quick studies of the large gorgonopsian Rubidgea for a possible commission. Meet your toothy distant relative. Synapsids have been doing this saber-toothed thing for a very long time

The evolution of the mammalian jaw during the transition from non-mammalian synapsids to crown mammals is a key event in vertebrate history and characterised by the gradual reduction of its individua...

Ok I see a post going around that is a bunch of baby mammals and that’s great and all but life is too short to only do synapsids So here are some baby dinosaurs. From top to bottom: Duckling, Emperor...

Back to sauropsids and synapsids past? And when did sexes begin? Multicellular organisms began to develop properties of evolution then. Liquid water for a billion years. It took a long chain of cellular advances. Changing environment, adaptation, chance for complex life enhances.

Running into a Dimetrodon in Jurassic Park would have been an interesting experience - and a dangerous one!Kenner collector card Dimetrodon was a pelycosaur, one of a number of animals known as synapsids that dominated the Early Permian period. It was a large meat-eater with a very interesting...

In the aftermath of the Permo-Triassic mass extinction (~252 Ma), several typical Palaeozoic synapsids and parareptiles were replaced by stem and crown archosaurs (archosauromorphs) and eucynodonts, and the Late Triassic fossil record of South America has been crucial to shed light on their evolutionary histories. The Chañares Formation is part of the Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin, and represents one of…

Cotylorhynchus is one of the earliest examples of gigantism in Synapsids being of a massive size as a genus, with this size peaking in Cotylorhynchus hancocki. At a staggering 1.5 tonnes it is by far the heaviest known Synapsid of its time, yet despite this great size it has one crippling downside, it cannot reach the ground with its head. Indicating this animal was either very specialised in what it ate on land or, more likely due to its teeth, it was a specialised semi-aquatic grazer. This reconstruction was commissioned by Shadlos as an asset for his modding project. Model produced in Blender with the sculpt (wrinkles, muscles highlighting and scalation) being produced in Zbrush. Skins were painted in a mixture of Photoshop, Substance Painter and Krita.
