Thinking about how ducks and geese look and sound almost exactly the same as they did over 65 million years ago:
Tumblr media
(Art above by artist Nicole Fuller)
This is Vegavis, the oldest known bird of the class Anseriformes. If it looks familiar, that's because it is literally a duck. Vegavis was closely related to modern ducks and geese, with preservation of the sirynx implying it quacked like a duck. Vegavus lived in antarctica around 68-66 million years ago placing it firmly in the late cretaceous period. The diving waterfowl we throw bread at have been doing duck things almost unchanged since before the rest of the dinosaurs went extinct.
Since common knowledge is that birds are derived dinosaurs, the best way to get the true cretaceous dinosaur experience is not to watch Jurassic Park but rather to piss off a goose.
The ultimate lifeform underwater might be a crab, but the king of the air is a duck and you should be scared.

Vegavis
Tumblr media
I’ve spent way to many hours researching this bird now, and still know way too little, but here’s my take on Vegavis. With feet propelled swimming and high metabolism I’m doubtful of them mainly predating on fish. I’ve instead gone with a bird living in more shallow waters of cold climate with a beak akin to an eider for eating mollusks and maybe crustaceans or other bottom-fauna.
I love feet-propelled divers across the board, and I really hope I get to learn more about this birb and it’s habit in the future!
Sources and stuff under the cut.
The main sources to guide me were theese two papers:
- ”New data on the Vegavis iaai holotype from the Maastrichtian of Antarctica” 2021. Carolina Acosta Hospitaleche and Trevor H. Worthy. Cretaceous Research.
-”Bone microstructure of Vegavis iaai (Aves, Anseriformes) from the Upper Cretaceous of Vega Island, Antarctic Peninsula” 2017. Jordi Alexis Garcia Marsà, Federico L. Agnolín & Fernando Novas. Historical biology.
I also looked at the paleoart made for the 2021 article as well as a piece made by Gabriel L. Lio for the Museo de Ciencias Naturales in Bernardino Rivadavia, Argentina.
For the anatomy in my piece I’ve also looked at extant birds: mainly at eiders, since they’re the right size and climate, but also other diving ducks as well as mergansers and loons for the feet swimming.

Fossil Novembirb, the first nine days
Hello World. I never thought I'd be on this site, but here I am. This blog was created for the purpose of participating in a-dinosaur-a-day's Fossil Novembirb. Fossil Novembirb is a yearly art event founded by Meig Dickson, a vertebrate palaeontologist who, as far as I can tell, studies dinosaurs, especially theropods. Don't fight me or em over birds being theropod dinosaurs. Neither ey nor I want to have this conversation, so enjoy the art!
Tumblr media
I started off my Fossil Novembirb with Vegavis iaai. What makes this fluffy anseriform special is that we found a fossilised syrinx (avian voice-maker) belonging to one of these, so we can reconstruct their sounds. This Vegavis was coloured based on a bunch of anseriforms that are alive today, like ruddy shelducks and cotton pygmy geese.
Tumblr media
For Day 2, I did a bit of spec evo and pulled out a scientific name I told myself I'd assign to a newly-discovered fossil genus. This sketch has a Serina-like text description for Phantasmavis.
Tumblr media
Tropicbirds! I chose to draw Clymenoptilon because I was hoping "tropicbird" meant "brightly coloured bird". Even though they aren't that brightly coloured, they're still cool. And Kumimanu (approximately to scale in this drawing) didn't really have the obligation to be black-and-white like most extant penguins (because Inkayacu), so I went... mild-wild with the colours.
Tumblr media
No... one's... tall like Gastornis, no one calls like Gastornis! In the bottom right, no one feeds small like Gastornis!
I've seen the "Andy's Prehistoric Adventures" episode featuring these megafowl, realised it was Walking With Dinosaurs with a human inserted, and drawn a mildly speculative colouration for these Gastornis. To the left, two adults have their necks out towards each other and are calling into the sky. Whether this is courtship or a challenge, nobody knows. But a calmer scene happens in the bottom right, where a mother shows her chick red berries on a branch to show them that it is food.
Tumblr media
"Don't make me fly up there, you punk!" is one way to interpret the screamerduck Anachronornis' call in the direction of the Primoptynx owl. This scene unfolds in the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum ecosystem of the Willwood Formation before it was rock.
Tumblr media
It's a twilight hummingswift! We know the colour of this iridescent little birb from the Danish Fur Formation. I watched a tutorial on painting iridescence, but I'm not really satisfied with the parent feeding their chick to the left of the flying Eocypselus rowei. It's hard to see, but there's a baby hummingswift being fed a Cimbrophlebia scorpionfly.
Tumblr media
London Clay has a lot of plant fossils. Not all of them are listed on Wikipedia, but there's a photo of a pencil-root mangrove seed listed. Featuring a speculatively-coloured Eotrogon, a Dasornis carrying away a mackerel, and a Prophaeton just gliding, and repeat telecasts Gastornis parisiensis and Eocypelus rowei, Eocene London was a birder's dream (believe me, I'm a kinda-birder).
Tumblr media
This Tynskya art was somewhat late, rather dissatisfactory, and mildly rushed. I had an exam the next day. Don't judge me.
Tumblr media
And here's a better Primozygodactylus! I couldn't tell the specific species because it wasn't listed for the Wikipedia image. But here we are: a bird that gives off ashy prinia/sparrow/orange-headed thrush vibes.
This concludes the first nine days! I don't know if I'll be doing the tenth because nobody's giving me straight answers about the palaeobotany of the Green River formation.
Enjoy!

I'll see what we can do with that information.
He closes and opens the door again.
The other side shows a completely different facility.
Iaai walks to the other side and closes the door.
"Simon": HUH...
The symbol on his visor disappears.

Informal Youth Summit of the Future and Local Pacts for the Future. 
Concrete solutions for an inclusive and successful summit of the future and youth focused multi-level governance innovation, in line with SDG 16. The ECOSOC Youth Forum 2024 side event entitled "Informal Youth Summit of the Future and Local Pacts for the Future" is being organized by the UN ECOSOC accredited civil society organization IAAI GloCha in collaboration with the International Youth Conference (IYC), GloCha Global Challenges Foundation New York Inc., UN Habitat - Youth Programme, UN Environment - Early Warning and Data Analytics Branch and AFS Intercultural Programs.  This event aims to discuss pathways towards youth-led transformative change and effective youth participation in the UN system in the context of preparations for the UN Summit of the future.  A key agenda item of the event are the exploration of the feasibility and the collaborative planning of organizational details of an "informal Youth Summit of the Future", a proposal that has been developed by members of the Internation Youth Conference (IYC). The proposed informal Youth Summit of the Future will feature non-state actors' led programs and events focused on youth capacity building, strategy development, edutainment and action planning, envisioning transformative global governance innovation. The informal Youth Summit of the Future programs will be supported by the side event organizers, and enabled by solutions, that have been developed by the Global Challenges Action Empowerment partnership GloCha (like Local Pacts for the Future, Challenges Mapping, GloCha Streaming TV, DigitalArt4Climate, GloCha Festival, ..) which help leveraging youth creativity and knowledge for global and local action towards the SDGs.

Marcus has an idea for who might do the enforcing. He has lately been insistent that the world needs, immediately, “a global, neutral, nonprofit International Agency for AI,” which would be referred to with an acronym that sounds like a scream (Iaai!). As he outlined in an op-ed he coauthored in the Economist, such a body might work like the International Atomic Energy Agency, which conducts audits and inspections to identify nascent nuclear programs. Presumably this agency would monitor algorithms to make sure they don’t include bias or promote misinformation or take over power grids while we aren’t looking. While it seems a stretch to imagine the United States, Europe, and China all working together on this, maybe the threat of an alien, if homegrown, intelligence overthrowing our species might lead them to act in the interests of Team Human. Hey, it worked with that other global threat, climate change! Uh …
Gary Marcus used to call AI stupid—now he calls it dangerous
