oh yeah, the permian, it's kind of cool I suppose . . . if you like [googles furiously] the diversification of the two groups of amniotes, the synapsids and the sauropsids (reptiles)

apparently all the permian period is in this big basin in west texas now and they suck it up from the ground with big straws like a milkshake and then we burn it in our cars

Honestly it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to avoid a permian but you usually get probated a few times as a warning |

Dimetrodon!!! This is a really interesting period to study because of the terabiota but specifically DIMETRODON EVOLVED DURING THIS TIME. Arguably one of the coolest things to happen during that period. |

You ever wonder what humans would be like during a permian?? Like. Would we be rocks? Would we be worms? Would we be trees? Would we be the sky/air? Would we be the moon? Or would we simply be You and me |

I would definitely be plankton. Just, you know, floatin around, eatin stuff, maybe gently caress my plankton friends, make some new plankton, who the gently caress knows, the world is not yet your oyster because Ostreidae had a mass extinction during the Permian era so maybe the world is your Nautilida I dunno |

Natural history is wild, it's just rocks moving or something. Or maybe glaciers shaering out valleys out of basalt or something? And continental plates shifting perhaps? |

And continental plates shifting perhaps? natural history is amazing - i studied a bit of geology along with biology and the whole 'deep time' stuff is both humbling and fascinating imo there's a spot just down the coast from here where you can see the deep gouge marks that the last glaciers that moved across the country left and even see the direction they were moving in from it also the ediacaran geological periood is named after the ediacara hills in the flinders ranges here which have some of the oldest fossils of multicellular life that we know of (from 635-541 million years ago) GoutPatrol posted:we're not talking about my hairstyle again please lol also love your av mate |

I'd like to see the Burgess shale fossil beds, but so far the closest I've got is stopping for gas in Field on a motorbike trip. One day I will do more than stop for gas or drive past. One day. As a ghost maybe. |

yeah dimetrodon is pretty cool i guess when you're coming from like, t-rex and triceratops, but once you've been in the scene for a bit there's way cooler sail dinos i've been more into post-permian lately

(mammals themselves are synapsids too) rad dino tho! |

yeah definitely man. i've been a big fan for a long time. oh my favorite synapsid fact? probably that Unlike other amniotes, they have a temporal fenestra, an opening low in the skull roof behind each eye, leaving a bony arch beneath each; this accounts for their name.[5]
