  1. El Inostranscevia fue un depredador terápsido gorgonópsido del Pérmico tardío (259-251,9 MdA) de unos 3-3,5 m de longitud con colmillos que alcanzaban los 15 cm y una gran amplitud de movimiento en la mandíbula. Esto le habría permitido capturar grandes presas. 📷Dmitry Bogdanov #permico #permian

  2. 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.

  3. El Emydops fue un herbívoro del Pérmico medio y tardío y uno de los dicinodontos más pequeños, con un cráneo de apenas 5 cm de longitud. 📷WillemSv #Permico #Permian

  4. El Endothiodon bathystoma fue un dicinodonto del Pérmico tardío (259-254 MdA) que, en lugar de sus característicos colmillos, tenía una fila de dientes que podía reemplazar. Tenía un cuerpo robusto, con 1,5 metros de longitud. 📷Dmitry Bogdanov #permico #permian

  5. Day 8: Inostrancevia

    It's such a shame that it will be 251 million years before this gorgonopsid can try to fit through a narrow doorway and not realize the bone can't go with them (bonk)

  14. 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

  15. 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

  16. 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

  19. 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

  20. 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.

  21. 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.

  22. 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.

  23. Los listrosaurios (Lystrosaurus) fueron unos abundantes dicinodontos que vivieron desde el Pérmico tardío pero que realmente triunfaron en el Triásico temprano, cuando este robusto herbívoro se encontró sin apenas depredadores ni competidores. Vivir en madrigueras posiblemente le permitió sobrevivir al aumento del dióxido de carbono en la atmósfera.📷John Sibbick #permico #permian #triasico #triassic

  24. Terrestrial life oasis from end-#Permian mass #extinction period discovered
    phys.org/news/2025-03-terrestr paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv

    "a region in Turpan-Hami Basin served as a refugium for terrestrial #plants during the end-Permian #MassExtinction... The discovery provides the first conclusive fossil evidence of a terrestrial plant community that remained largely undisturbed throughout the extinction event, allowing for continuous evolution and rapid ecological recovery afterward."

    The ecology and geography of #temnospondyl recovery after the #Permian#Triassic #MassExtinction royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

    "the #temnospondyls success lay in their generalist feeding ecology, enabling them to feed on a wide variety of prey... the freshwater habitats they preferred provided them with a relatively stable variety of food resources"

    "#conifers were some of the earliest to colonize the land after the End-#Permian catastrophe. But the recovery of #forests was not smooth sailing... even higher temperatures during the Late Smithian Thermal Maximum caused the collapse of these survivors... they were replaced by tough, shrubby #plants resembling modern #clubmosses.

  31. El esqueleto con gran cantidad de cartílago del saurópsido diápsido del Pérmico (259-252 MdA) Claudiosaurus germaini probablemente no le habría permitido soportar su peso en tierra. Por ello se cree que pasaba la mayor parte del tiempo en el agua.📷Esther van Hulsen #permico #permian

  33. Permian (Geological periods 🌍)

    The Permian is a geologic period and stratigraphic system which spans 47 million years from the end of the Carboniferous Period 298.9 million years ago, to the beginning of the Triassic Period 251.902 Mya. It is the sixth and last period of the Paleozoic Era; the following Triassic Period belongs to the Mesozoic Era. The concept of the Permian was introduced in 1841 by geologist Sir Roderick Mu...
