  1. I'm trying to think of archosaurs named after artists and so far I've got only one:

    Effigia okeeffeae : Georgia O'Keeffe (Fossil was one of thousands found on her ranch.)

    I'm sure there must be others.

  6. #Fossil unearthed in #Brazil is 237-million-year-old sister-group to Dinosauria phys.org/news/2024-10-fossil-u

    A new “#silesaurid” from the oldest #dinosauromorph-bearing beds of South America provides insights into the early #evolution of bird-line #archosaurs sciencedirect.com/science/arti

    "The remains were also complete enough to show that the find represents one of the oldest #dinosauromorphs ever unearthed in #SouthAmerica and one of the oldest #silesaurids found anywhere."

  16. 06/02/2024 At BBSP, I found two >6ft alligators locked together. One had both jaws clamped on the upper jaw of the other--while the other had both jaws clamped on that one's bottom jaw. Equally matched, attempts by one to thrash or roll were countered by the other. A bigger alligator appeared and *nudged them apart*! It watched one leave, turned to watch the other climb out. 40 more pictures here: rickubis.com/rick/mycam.html video: rickubis.com/rick/gatorfight06 #Alligators #Reptiles #Archosaurs

  18. 01/28/2024 Finally, some good rain at Brazos Bend State Park! The last time water flowed under the Spillway Bridge here was probablySpring, 2022. Snowy Egrets, Little Blue Herons hunted the spillway. The usual assortment of other species were also busy.

  20. 12/24/2023 at BBSP. 2 large alligators near Spillway Trail. One had a carcass. From the long claws, webbed toes, and coarse fur, I'm pretty sure the prey was a Nutria. Chewing the carcass attracted the attention of another large alligator. The gator with the carcass moved & other gator followed, then both submerged. A few minutes later gator with carcass crossed the trail! More pics

    A new silesaurid from #Carnian beds of #Brazil fills a gap in the radiation of avian line #archosaurs nature.com/articles/s41598-023

    "The ancient creature was a member of #Silesauridae, an extinct family of #Triassic dinosauriform #reptiles. #Silesaurids had a fairly long neck and legs, and possibly quadrupedal habits. They are most commonly considered to be the sister group of #dinosaurs."

  29. A week later, 09/03/2023, baby gators were still under this fallen tree near Bird Box #18. The water there was noticeably lower. I found the mom gator on the other side of the tree. The babies changed position through the day-in the same branches at last week in the morning, then on the other side of the tree in the afternoon. I was at least 15 yards away, using lots of zoom. #Alligator #Archosaurs #Wildlife #TexasDrought

  34. On 08/27/2023, at BBSP the pod of baby gators was under this fallen tree near Bird Box #18; about 70 yards West from where I'd found a pod the week before, 20 yards in front of where 1 of the alligator nests had been this summer. I couldn't not find their mother, but she could have been submerged, or hidden by plant cover. Pics show how I was at least 15 yards away, using lots of zoom. #Alligator #Archosaurs #Wildlife #texasdrought

  39. My take on Scleromochlus by paleoartist Gabriel Ugueto. Exciting times as we're finding more and more basal archosaurs that lead to both dinosaurs and pterosaurs.

  43. 08/06/2023 Unlike other herons, a Green Heron keeps its head close to its body, hiding its long neck. It's a surprise when they extend it. The Heron kept amazing balance even as it stretched down. The neck kept an "S" curve in center leaving slack for the final thrust. It caught a Six-Spotted Fishing Spider.

  45. 7/30/2023; Pilant Lake in Brazos Bend State Park. Chorus of bellowing that morning. Mating season ends before June; but 1 bellow can start a chorus. 1 hour later,the gator was still feisty & did a headslap. Alligators can filter ambient sounds(such as bullfrog calls)so they can ignore them. This environment has all kinds of animals which produce sounds and movement. Alligator bellows are in that blend & only the alligators can decode them. rickubis.com/rick/gators_talk0 #Alligator #Archosaurs #Wildlife

  47. Pterosaurs have always been some of my favorite #archosaurs. It's a shame they didn't survive along with birds, as they would have given us an interesting way to compare flight mechanics between both groups.
