*Earth's Biggest Mass Extinction Reveals Chilling Parallels to Today's World*
(1/n)
"...the findings paint a pretty clear picture.
"The bad news is, 👉we are on track for #Permian-#Triassic levels of warming in worst-case scenario projections👈,"
says #Stanford #EarthScientist #ErikSperling.

El Anteosaurus magnificus fue un sinápsido dinocéfalo del Pérmico medio (264-260 MdA), el más grande de este periodo y el mayor sinápsido carnívoro no mamífero con 5-6 metros de longitud y 1-1,5 toneladas de peso. La paquiostosis o engrosamiento de sus huesos orbitales podría haberle servido para competir a cabezazos durante la época de apareamiento. 📷Dmitry Bogdanov. #permico #permian

ok.
geologists, why does the Roadian follow Olson's extinction? Did roads undergo explosive radiation after the Olsons went extinct? And what about the Wordian? Did Words benefit from the end of Roads? I feel confused.

Fossilized poop (#coprolites) 💩 are a treasure trove of paleoecological clues! In our new study led by Larissa Catafesta, we analyzed 97 coprolites from the Rio do Rasto Formation (middle/upper Permian, Paraná Basin, southern Brazil)—a formation rich in coprolites but rarely studied in detail.

From the vault: my life-size Meganeuropsis model, a giant griffinfly (Meganeuridae) from the Early Permian Wellington Formation of North America. The wingspan is 71cm.

Eryops megacephalus fue un temnospóndilo del Pérmico temprano (299-273 MdA) que podía alcanzar hasta 3 metros de longitud por lo que, con su constitución robusta, rondaba un par de quintales de peso. Por ello, era una de las criaturas terrestres más grandes de su época. Una momia fosilizada nos permite saber que su piel estaba cubierta por bultos ovalados. 📷Dmitry Bogdanov #permico #permian

El Lepidodendron fue una planta vascular lycopsida que vivió en el Carbonífero y el Pérmico (358-252 MdA), alcanzando hasta 50 metros de altura con una corteza escamosa. #Carbonifero #carboniferous #permico #permian

El Sclerocephalus haeuseri fue un anfibio del Carbonífero tardío al Pérmico temprano (301-297 MdA) de metro y medio de longitud. Durante su metamorfosis, se reducía proporcionalmente el tamaño de su cola y de sus ojos. Además de la fila típica de dientes, tenía tres pares de dientes en el paladar. 📷Günter Bechly #carbonifero #permico #carboniferous #permian

Blood-curdling #Permian monsters that ruled #Earth before #dinosaurs
Sabre-teeth like steak knives, piercing claws and skin as thick as a rhino's, their jaws open nearly 90deg – and launched into battle. From the right side of one animal, the other's teeth crunched down from above. In a split second, it was over. Sinking its 5in (12.7cm) canines into its opponent's snout, like hot needles through wax, attacker claimed victory. This actually happened – or something like it

The blood-curdling #Permian monsters that ruled the Earth before #dinosaurs.
The Permian, an obscure era of geological history where the planet was ruled by giant, bone-chilling beasts that ran with a characteristic waddle and sometimes snacked on sharks. During this living nightmare, there were occasionally more carnivores around than there were prey for them to eat on land.

Even the worst #massextinction had its oases
Scientists have debated whether this event caused nearly as much terrestrial destruction. Now, researchers from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology (NIGPAS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences suggest that #terrestrial #ecosystems did not suffer nearly as much as the #oceans.
Plants thrived in present-day #China throughout the End-#Permian #extinction.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
...and the last post from 2022. Here's a study of Orthacanthus, for a project I cannot talk about yet. Orthacanthus, is a freshwater elasmobranch (shark) from the Carboniferous and Permian Periods.
