My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
A few zooms into my painting of Haootia (Stauroza), commissioned by McIlroy et al for their 2022 paper. The Haootia fossils from Newfoundland (Late Ediacaran, 550Ma), Canada, have the oldest known evidence for animal muscle tissue. Also in this picture is a reclining Charnia and some Parviscopa.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
In 2022 I worked with McIlroy et al on a new reconstruction of Haootia (Stauroza), from the Late Ediacaran (550 Ma). The Haootia fossils from Newfoundland, Canada, have the oldest known evidence for animal muscle tissue.

Die Vorfahren von Pflanzen und Tieren bildeten eine Milliarde Jahre lang nur wenig neue Formen. Doch dann schlug eine globale Katastrophe zu - und entfesselte die Evolution.#Evolution #Vielzeller #Eukaryoten #Eiszeit #Schneeballerde #Cryogenium #Kambrischeexplosion #Ediacara #ErdeUmwelt

A CLOSER LOOK AT EDIACARAN MISTAKEN POINT (565Ma), part 2 of 2.
MUN Paleobiology (@dmcediacaran.bsky.social) are redescribing these wonderful creatures & some are now reclining! We've been working on this composition for 4 years.

WELCOME TO EDIACARAN MISTAKEN POINT (565Ma).
If you thought this environment was like a miniature forest of sea pens, think again. The palaeontologists at MUNPaleobiology are redescribing these wonderful creatures and some, such as Charnia, are now reclining!

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
A few photos from the day I spent filming at Mistaken Point, Newfoundland, in 2018. The crew were there to film the Ediacaran fossils and talk to the palaeontologists at Monument University Newfoundland.

Fascinating.
"[S]cientists have confirmed that they have found the world’s oldest meal – in a fossil of an animal that lived 558 million years ago.
[...]
Kimberella appears to have had a digestive system that was capable of selecting the sterols it needed to absorb into its tissue, while discarding the unusable molecules. “[...] That means that Kimberella already has this pretty sophisticated way of feeding.”"
