Another #paleostream sketch

I frequently critique alien designs in pop culture for being incredible unimaginative. One reason is that our own plants history has seem numerous clades come and go that put Hollywoods creativity to shame.

Here some Lyrarapax (a radiodont) attack a Yuyuanozoon, the largest known member of a clade called Vetulicolia

didazoon haeoa and pomatrum ventralis about to kiss

#fuck around find out #paleoart #vetulicolia #cambrian #i think this is my first real paleoart ever. like paleoart i actually took time to make sure all of these species existed in the same place #at the same time and tried to get the anatomy as right as i could. a lot of speculation of course but its not paleoart without some spec ! #rorys art

[facivermis]

words cannot describe how much i love vetulicolians. i love you pomatrum ventralis. when i die and reincarnation disregards the passage of time i want to be reincarnated as one of them. swirling and swiming through the blooming oceans' currents... dancing to the ebb and flow of saltwater seas.

protoarticulata VS rhombozoa

2. phoronida VS vetulicolia

3. petalonamae VS xenacoelomorpha

4. porifera VS rotifera

5. platyhelminthes VS saccorhytida

round 1

all round 1 poll-batches will last one (1) day because dear god there are so many of them. there will however be a cooldown of like, a couple days or something between batches because i am but one man

19. agmata VS entoprocta

20. cnidaria VS onychophora

21. echinodermata VS hemichordata

round three wait and see!!!

this bracket doesn't require nominations, as the candidates are already set out all nicey for us by Science. how cool of them. Now we make them beat each other senseless for our sick amusement :)

HOWEVER please send asks, suggest representative species or images to make sure we see them at their best, send propaganda/fun facts youd like the filthy electorate to know before they condemn your fav to the deepest most basal pits of taxonomic superhell. lets all get to know the Beasts together. Before we make them fight to the death.

i think vetulicolia are very underrated cambrian animals. they look like scrapped subnautica critters.

do you happen to know any films that actually have a focus on the serbian national psyche's relation to yugonostalgia? i am open to anything but if its borderline incomprehensible to nonserbs thats perfect. thanks!

unfortunately, i am completely out of touch with the serbian cultural zeitgeist - mostly because the wide majority of modern serbian media is complete trite, masturbatory nationalism or equally-masturbatory reality tv - and am, for for all intents and purposes, an inner immigrant. &, thus, am absolutely *not* an authority on this. though i'm sure some underground films exist, the national mien would generally just not be accommodating to that type of work. i would defer to my pal @vetulicolia, since she might know of some ex-yugo film along those lines that i don't. every day i pound and scream because the "2 hour black and white film about the serbian government shown through the eyes of a pigeon" thing isn't a real film. but i do have a few recommendations for movies that were made *during* the existence of yugoslavia, which i find to be somewhat prescient, & which still hold up shockingly well. among them would be Balkanski Spijun(The Balkan Spy), Davitelj Protiv Davitelja(Strangler VS. Strangler), & Varljivo Leto '68(The Elusive Summer of '68). of course, Ko To Tamo Peva is a classic & the most popular among them, but is not particularly relevant. Tito i Ja might be fun if you can find it, also. though hunting down english subtitles for all of those might be... a tad hard....

[teethands]

more vetulicolia!!! this month i will be challenging myself to draw one paleozoic creature or plant a day, and im calling this challenge mayleozoic. anyone is welcome to join me with the hashtag #mayleozoic, and i would love to see any critters you draw :]

#im not very good at month long challenges but lets jsut see how far i get :] #mayleozoic #vetulicolia #paleozoic #paleoart #cambrian #rorys art

Nesonektris aldridgei here was one of the bizarre vetulicolians, a group of Cambrian animals that lived between about 520 and 505 million years ago.

Known from the Emu Bay Shale fossil deposits in Kangaroo Island, South Australia (~514 million years ago), Nesonektris was one of the larger known vetulicolians, growing to at least 17cm long (~6.5"). Like most of its relatives it had a large streamlined forebody with a mouth opening at the front, and no obvious appendages or sensory structures. A groove down each side may have housed gill openings, and a segmented flexible tail provided propulsion for swimming.

Very little is known about the ecology of these animals. They were clearly adapted for active swimming in the water column, and may have filter-fed on plankton – but some other vetulicolians have been found preserved with their guts full of seafloor sediment, suggesting some sort of detritivorous lifestyle instead.

Their evolutionary relationships are also still uncertain, but preservation of what appears to be a notochord in Nesonektris suggests that vetulicolians may have been part of the chordate lineage, possibly close relatives of tunicates.
